Escape to the beam country.


I feel like saying,
Welcome to another episode of "Escape to the Country"
Today I am showing John a retired Policeman and his Nurse wife Joan a stunning cottage in County Wicklow.



John and Joan both said they had a passion for beams and neutral decor.
Well, this house has it in spades.



Of course they wanted and inglenook fireplace, and whilst not huge, this one should fit the bill rather nicely.

Although they said they did want a conservatory, they might find this open plan area with stunning beam work the perfect place to relax and enjoy the superb outlook.
Will it be to their taste.?
Join me on "Escape to the Country" to find out.

(apologies to Jules and Alistair for my pathetic script and to any readers who don't have a clue what I am talking about)

  1. What a beautiful home. That big open room at the bottom, what a great studio that would make. I have watched in a little while but might tune in tonight. Happy Friday x

  5. I love our house with exposed beams - it gives the place rustic charm.
    Just got back from my summer holiday so I'm catching up all the lovely posts I've missed!
    Happy New Year to you & all the best for 2012!

    So light and open.
