The Hog House was completed in October 2022 after a year of renovation, previously the Hog House sat empty; used only as shelter for sheep and cattle during the wild winter months with the ground floor being open all year round. The upper floor of the barn was always closed off, accessed by a hatch from the ground floor (still in use today) or via the outer upper level door - originally used for the storage of animal feed.

Work on the building started late in 2021; the first job was to remove years of sheep muck from the ground floor (many many wheelbarrows full), once this was finished structural changes where needed - a new slate lintel was put in above the main entrance to the building, replacing an old broken piece. To get mains electricity to the property a 300m trench was dug from the nearby farm buildings, before a cable could be laid. Windows and doors where created by a local carpenter and installed in July 2022, the last few months where spent creating the interiors, installing homemade worksurfaces and plumbing in the shower and taps. We made sure the finish of property was comfortable and homely, with the main aim and centerpiece of the property being the outstanding view.
