I live in a converted Armenian barn in the foothills of Kurdistan.
Road to Iran passes by my door.
48 acre peach and cherry orchard and a bread oven in the front.
We raise an obscure breed of Kurdish lamaon our land.

Ooh an excuse to wax lyrical about my house!

I live in an eighteenth century cottage originally built to be the house for the overseer of the local workhouse (which is still standing across the road from us). The house was originally a 2 up, 2 down cottage but in the 1820s a new front was added to it (2 more rooms downstairs and 2 more rooms upstairs) so the front is typically Georgian. Later a kitchen was added at the back and a bathroom above it, and then the most recent addition is the dining room to the side (1980s). It is very hickeldy-pickeldy with lots of steps and different levels and heights of ceilings.

Not easy to describe, but it has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sitting room, play room, dining room, kitchen, boot room, and snug which is what we choose to call the central room in the house where there is the original range fireplace.

We are planning to lose one bedroom to put in a new staircase, and then gain 2 more bedrooms by converting the hay loft over the original stable and coach house, making 5 bedrooms in all. Oh and add an en suite as one bathroom is downstairs. Oh and a new kitchen and some central heating would be nice!

honestly, it is janh! though you have to look quite closely for the gap, you'd probably have it down as a terrace.

Ours is a 4 bed detached house half way up a hill overlooking the wiltshire downs and liddington castle.

1920's build - very practical not pretty, but gorgeous big garden and tons of space. We love it!
