THE FARMHOUSE - Hallway

The quarter-turn staircase leading to the second attic bedroom. This area of the hallway had been completely covered in plaster. From our previous experience of the cottages we were fairly sure that some good looking stonework and oak lintels would be underneath. The one good thing about old plaster is that it keeps the stonework and timber underneath in very clean condition.


A novel idea for window ledges, yet very much in keeping with age of the property. Tiles are easy to maintain and very practical, here the front edges were finished off with pieces of oak.
