The house in which we currently live probably dates originally to the seventeenth century. According to the local Conservation Officer, its Georgian date-stone, inserted into a blind window space that was probably bricked up in response to the Window Tax Acts of 1696 onwards, doesn’t match its internal construction, which is definitely Stuart.

When it was modernised in the late twentieth century, after lying derelict for thirty-odd years, part of the old scullery was turned into a downstairs lavatory. The rest remains a laundry/store/bootroom combo, housing washing machine, sink, drying racks, ironing board, cleaning equipment, freezer and shoe storage.

G has dubbed the space the ‘lootility room’.

Love it.
