The rooms

Eleven tags on eleven hooks

Every room has a name, a gable and a stage it has got to. 3 of the 11 are spoken for by the people who funded the roof.

Marked rooms are wave one — furnished and released first.

Getting in

What the building will and will not do

Ferryman is step-free from the yard door and will have a level shower. The other 10 are up at least one flight, and the two on the second floor are behind a low door that six foot two clears and six foot four does not.

We looked at a lift. It does not fit the stair core of a building this old without taking out the core, and taking out the core is not something the building survives. That is a limitation of the house, not a decision we are pleased with, and it is better said here than discovered on arrival.

If you want to know something specific about a room before the list opens, ask and we will measure it.

Opening May 2027

Nothing to book. A list to be on.

Five emails over the next year, and then an invitation forty-eight hours before anybody else gets one.
