March 15th Plot 16 Summerhouse Update

The summerhouse restoration continues as the Easter garden opening approaches. The above photograph was taken late last week, & shows the entrance ramp partially completed, which will allow access to the upper floor for visitors once completed. A ground floor room will be used for small tool storage for the adjacent plot. The end of the week saw the first layers of lime plaster being applied to the walls, & this will be quickly followed by the installation of the completed window frame & door.

Views from the window are stunning, & well worth the wait. This vista was lost in the past when the building was reduced in height, possibly after the war, but now is restored, allowing views over towards Warwick Racecourse.

This must be the most impressive coffee mug stand I have seen for a while! Seriously, a contemporary fireplace has been installed in the original location & acts as a focus point for the room. The room has a very pleasant feel to it already, & this is before the plastering, window, & woodwork finishing!
