Update: feeling at home at Auchlossen now

 Time for an update at the beginning of 2019.
Here are some photos of the inside of the house, now that curtains are up, pictures on the walls and furniture beginning to be sorted.
The compact kitchen is a delight to use, everything is within easy reach, and there are enough cupboards to keep everything out of the way. The breadmaker will move to the utility room when the latter is less of a jungle.


 Lounge and dining areas have curtains with prints in the same series and colour, but with different pattern. The large south facing windows capture the sun well, even in winter.


 The oak bookcase was made in sections in a workshop in Arbroath. It is tapered to fit the space, and incorporates a doorway to the WC/shower room.

 The front door has a glass panel at the side that brings light into the hallway, which also benefits from a very large skylight

 Main bedroom, looking out toward the fruit garden.

 En suite bathroom.
