Thirty-first post in the series
"Living Large in Small Spaces"
This second floor studio apartment is a barn conversion located 20 minutes from Abergavenny in Mountmouthshire, Wales.
From the first floor entry we take the indoor stairs to a second floor landing. You can hang your jacket here.
Entering through a large wooden door we find an open space with a vaulted ceiling and plenty of natural light.
The sleek kitchenette with its wood cabinetry works well here.
To the right of the entrance door is the bath.
The bathroom is one big "wet room", with a heated tile floor.
This is a great way to tuck a tiny bathroom with shower under the eaves.
The sleeping area is at the opposite end of the apartment.
Love all the beams. They definitely make a statement.
Every window provides a view of the lush conservation farm that surrounds the studio.
A private sitting-area overlooks a delightful brook.
Although this studio serves as a vacation rental, I wonder. . . could you see this as a home for one or two people? Could you live large in this small space?
