The Entrance Hall and Snug has a pitched roof and had a pitched pine panel ceiling internally which 27 years ago was covered over with insulation and plasterboard. The study/bedroom 4, was refurbished in 2020. All windows are double glazed and the pitched roof was renewed and fully insulated. The artists’ studio has not been renovated by the current owners and is the only part of the house where there has not been roof insulation added. The studio floor provides insulation to the first floor principal bedroom suite below.

The two first floor bedrooms situated off the main first floor landing were renovated in 2018. A loft space is accessible via a ceiling trapdoor in the end bedroom. The floor area of the loft has been insulated and insulation was also added to the interior surface of the roof between the eaves. The walls are original sandstone construction and in most places are about 3 foot thick, constructed of large internal and external facing blocks with rubble infill between. They are exceptionally well insulated, cool in summer and once the rooms are heated in winter, they retain the heat very well.
