1970-1987 Cottages and FarmhousesA variety of restorations in Norfolk, Kent and Devon. One of the more interesting shown here 1971-6 of the remote Duchy of Cornwall farmhouse: Stannon at Postbridge. In a very isolated position, it has been uninhabited since before the war. With no amenities and necessitating a long walk, it proved a tough but enjoyable low budget introduction to property development. Peat was cut from the bog and outbuildings rebuilt by hand with gathered stone. |
