tiles, laid in a herringbone pattern in the shower and behind the bath. “We hadn’t originally envisaged fitting a bath, but our designer suggested it would be a good idea,” says Bob. “The sink came out of the old caravan, and Stuart then built the cabinet for it using reclaimed timber, as well as panelling out the bath. He also made sliding barn-style doors for the bedroom and bathroom, which save space and continue the farm theme. Even the tap pipework was exposed.”


Outside, the landscaping has been left as natural as possible and was planted with apple trees, honeysuckle, primroses, poppies, cornflowers and various other pollinators by Pat, who took charge of this aspect of the project. Suntrap decking looks across two lawns and a wood-burning firepit was set into the ground and surrounded by large stones, with heavy

galvanised water tanks used as a plant feature. The garden is secluded and peaceful – filled with only the sound of birds, drawn by strategically placed feeders and the mature trees on site. There is even a resident pheasant. “It took about 18 months to build the cabin, because everything was handmade, but we weren’t in a rush and spent time getting it exactly as we wanted,” says Bob, who admits he never has a holiday from the farm, which takes up all his time.


“Once the shell went up, we had a break before starting on the interiors, and all the way through the build we focused on reusing and recycling. Nothing was removed from the site and the whole cabin is as kind to the environment as we could make it – which is really how all building should be in an ideal world.” 
