Ground floor bedrooms and bathing
Bedroom 1
This is the largest bedroom in the house, intended as the principal guest room. We moved the entrance door away from the public area to opposite the main bathroom door, rebuilt the windows, put in a new floor and created a new wall of integrated wardrobes. The brass vent is ducted under the wardrobe plinth to the disused flue behind.
Bathroom
This main bathroom was built from scratch. A new vss window and shutters is flanked by recesses lined with Douglas fir. The bulkhead conceals services, accessible from above. The bath box is closed but accessible from the adjacent hall cupboard. The extract above the window is a duct to an in line fan which exhausts to the outside through a flush roof vent slate, to avoid damaging the stonework and to keep things quiet.
Bedroom 2
This room and the adjacent shower room and small hallway were originally one large bedroom.
A double dividing wall was built to accommodate the wardrobes and the wardrobe doors, room door and panelling were designed to fully enclose the room. This had the benefit of additional insulation and over riding the chimney breast for a flush bed end.
In the corner behind the chair is a secret cupboard.

Shower room
The conservation rooflight is new. Even if there is no view, every room should have daylight. The door is a salvaged bedroom door with flush panel inserts. The extract vent is a remote, almost silent fan, drawing through the grille above the shower, which is triggered by an humidistat. The shower controls are on the left, accessible from behind through the new wardrobe.
