The narrow road outside our house; only one other resident at the end and they also have another entrance as well.
Our house was originally 3 houses 200 years ago.
The window and little door belong to our bedroom. The more recent acquisition is the barn you see on the right
Just another view.
The back of the house. The two windows are our lounge. The doorway goes into a short passage.
Our lounge. All African paintings in here. Buffalo fire guard and note the giraffe on the right (Well you can just see his head). The circular table has the 'Big 5' carved onto the top of it.
The short passage, see the outside of the door above. Hmm, I could have straightened up the doormats!
Lounge at the end and the passage that leads to our bedroom....
The passage as it was in 2005. Painted midnight blue!
Our bedroom (this was originally just one house).
I should have tidied up before I took photos!! There is now a 1/2 glass door behind the closed curtain.....
The bedroom as it was in 2005. The low ceiling now removed, upstairs is where they stored the hay for the animals
The dining area in what used to be a bedroom. We removed the wall and see below....
now made into a kitchen/diner.
The kitchen as it is now....
and how it was when we bought the house in 2005.
Our steep steps up to the top of the barn which is now our offices - you have to remember which foot to use!! At the bottom on the right is a small spare bedroom. On the left is the lounge.
At the top, we have an office each, one on either side of the main beam, behind me while taking this photo is the other very small spare room
