Cottage and Outbuilding Conversion
A new fireplace with inset stove and chimney breast were constructed in the sitting room. Natural stone was used for the hearth. The original doorway into this room was blocked up to form an alcove. Live-edge timber shelves were inserted into the alcove to form bookshelves. The original stonework was partially exposed. Uplighting provides gentle light in the room. A large opening was broken through the wall to connect the sitting room to the dining room below.
