Plot 4 The Cart Arch House, Cumrew CA8

The corner where the long range meets the tall barn — a dining room between the two glazed cart arches, and four bedrooms in the barn above.

The two great cart arches, one facing the courtyard and one facing the fields, were the way into this farm for two centuries. They are now the dining room of the Cart Arch House: A room glazed from side to side, with the arch and its flanking windows on both the courtyard and the garden sides, so that you sit between the two with light coming through from each. It opens through a wide opening into the tall barn, where the sitting room and kitchen share one open space under the north end of the building — two windows to the fields at the sitting end, a long island and a window to the garden at the kitchen end. Beyond are a utility, a cloakroom and the hall, with a glazed door and two windows onto the courtyard, and at the far end a separate living room with a window to each side.

The first floor of the barn has four bedrooms, which no other house at Albyfield can say. The principal bedroom fills the north end under a semi-vaulted ceiling, with three windows to the fields and a dressing room off it; two further bedrooms look east over the garden; and the fourth, at the south end, is semi-vaulted too, with a window each side. Two bathrooms serve them, both tucked above the dining room behind the upper half of the cart arches.

Gardens lie to the north across the fields and to the east behind the barn, where the ground has been terraced with a stone retaining wall and a lawn above it, with the fell wood rising beyond.
