All that remained of the old farmhouse
was four walls and two chimneys in a serious state of disrepair. But the location was breathtaking. Much credit must be given to the owner for
wanting to save this house.
We used organic paints, timber
frame windows, and a slate roof along with modern efficient energy sources; solar
water heating, an oil boiler with intelligent zoning controls. The ground floors
of the old house have a fully zoned underfloor heating system. Although these modern elements were added we preserved
the integrity of the original structure.
