After years thinking we have finally completed the Stables. This photo is where the bedroom is that leads to the shower!
I once took a jigsaw to the back wall of the stables and cut a rectangle just big enough for an old washboard to act as a window so the chickens could climb in and out, up a fox-proof wobbly stick. And also so the morning light would trickle in. Its been an obsession since then to convert this beautiful space with its south facing aspect and surrounding oaks. The design of the Stables is fairly similar to how it was then, with a sleeping (roosting) area and an open plan lounge with doors onto a large covered deck where once we would feed the chickens.
