Bread Oven Room

We call the little room attached to the outdoor kitchen the bread oven room, because it has a bread oven in it. We may try to fire it up one day but probably not as we want to use the room for storage and we will need to have the top of the chimney blocked to make that useful - otherwise everything will be soaked.
Last week the guys rendered it. We didn't bother leaving artistic stones visible as it is not so on display as the wall in the outdoor kitchen outside.
We need to put a door on it - which should be interesting given the shape of the doorway. Eventually it needs a new window as well, but for not we are just going to get some shutters.



Lots of people have joked that we could live in here while we do the rest of the house. It may come to that!
The outside of the door surround is in the process of being repointed too. It had been done with rathr ugly concrete so that has been a bit hacked off and topped with lime cement to match the rest of the wall.
Finished


In progress - it was even uglier before the old stuff was hacked out a bit.
