The space was originally part of a watermill, subsequently derelict and finally incorporated into the attached dwelling. All of the existing features were retained with a new kitchen and breakfast area created at ground floor. The new first floor created a link to the remainder of the house resolving some horrendous circulation problems and this allowed us to incorporate a sitting area giving views over an adjacent lake set in the hills. The water wheel was refurbished and is still operational. This project is near Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire.
