The New Bedroom
It started of as a small bedroom with just enough room for two single beds. The floor was in poor condition and sloped quite a lot, from left to right in the picture; and yes the walls are not vertical! Fortunately the joists were made of oak, were still sound and had not been to seriously affected by the dreaded woodworm. The window was strange as part of it was hidden behind the partition wall (see below). Refurbishing this room, along with the adjoining bunk room and landing, was one of our earlier major undertakings. It is now our bedroom and we can lie in bed and look out over Anne's field to the little bridge over the Gilpin and Scouts Scar beyond. |
