Phase One - Vegetation clearance from entrance area and existing Farmstead and Outbuildings

The original farmstead hiding in last year's vegetation!

Met contractors on site on Friday 12th April to discuss the scope of works for clearing entrance area and the derelict buildings - the original farmstead and 2 small sheds - of invasive

 vegetation - namely ivy and an ash tree! These buildings will become the service areas to the new build - the old farmstead to house a workshop area for the new studio, with kiln and wheel, an electrical switch room and the main water tank. The one outbuilding to house the air/heat pump and the other a garden shed.
