Jobs at Poltarrow - Roebuck's new balcony

This winter Peter has been beavering away creating a new addition to Roebuck.  To take advantage of the beautiful views from the cottage the large window in the sitting room was removed and replaced with doors that now open out onto a balcony.


We've had many conversations about the materials that would be used.  Green oak was an immediate definate but the balustrade caused much debate; contemporary glass versus traditional wrought iron.


In the end we have gone for the wrought iron which we believe is much more in keeping with the 200 year old barns.


Being South facing we hope that guests will take pleasure in having their coffee in the morning or their glass of wine in evening whilst enjoying the sights and sounds of the Cornish countryside.
