"We are delighted with the new accommodation that Studio Brassica have conjured for us out of part of the Stable Block. It has lovely countryside views and the light streams in. It can be kept at a comfortable temperature, has a kitchen which is a delight to use and a bathroom which will see us through our increasing decrepitude.

We think the finished building shows a profound sensitivity to the original and yet includes many exciting, innovative and unusual features. There is a recognition of the past done with a lightness of touch. We are so pleased and grateful."
