Bens is a single storey barn conversion which we fitted out last winter. (It is named after our former herdsman Ben Bailey who used it as his base at the farm for many years) It is next to the another of our cottages The Flower House, and it forms the lower boundary of the farm yard. It is similar in size to The Flower House, though the style is rather different being slightly minimalist and modern in its design.

The open plan living area has had to be well thought out as space is at a premium. It is very light and airy as there are two of the original roof lights as well as stable doors and a large west facing French window. There is a modern leather sofa and Scandinavian easy chairs, and an attractive antique circular dining table and chairs, a video/tv combination and cd/radio. The floor is made of polished maple and with the high vaulted ceiling and pale décor the whole effect is modern light and airy.
Sleeping accommodation is arranged in two bedrooms at the other end of the cottage both leading off a corridor which runs along the back of the cottage to the bathroom. One is a double bedroom, the other has twin 3’ beds. Unlike the Flower House there is no additional sleeping space in the roof area and there are no bunk-beds.
The bathroom, in the far back corner of the cottage, contains a full sized bath and thermostatic power shower, along with washbasin and loo. Also in the bathroom is the wallhung ‘combi’ gas boiler which heats the water and supplies radiators in every room, and a full sized washer drier.
