Take a look inside this stunning Airbnb cabin near Pateley Bridge converted by artist, Gill Kirk, during the pandemic
The building in the rear garden had been designed and handbuilt in 2007 with the help of local joiner Chris Prince. Colin had insulated it, a slate roof was put on and Velux windows were installed to maximise natural light so Gill, a gifted artist, could use it as a studio.Reclaimed materials were a big feature of the build and the subsequent conversion.
The first job was to bring running water and drainage to the building before tanking it. This proved far more difficult than anticipated and plumber Neil Mallinson had to dig six feet down to locate the main house drains so he could extend them to the summer house. “The drains were so old, there was no record of where they were and when we contacted Yorkshire Water, they said ‘when you find them can you tell us?’” says Gill. “Neil was brilliant.
David also installed one of the main features in the stylish shower room, the arched window, which Gill bought 30 years ago at an auction hoping it would “come in”. The main living space includes a new sofa and TV plus a vintage dresser, while old drawers and a set of boot lockers were repurposed as shelves. A fold-down Formica table offers somewhere to dine and the bedroom area has a double bed with a single truckle bed underneath.
Outside, Colin and Gill created a gravelled garden area filled with plants and flowers, most of which came from Arthur Bradley’s stall on Knaresborough market . Many of the pots and planters came from auctions, Facebook Marketplace or the smallholding where Gill grew up. Among them are a boiling pot for dyeing cloth, a feeding trough and a dolly tub.The original summer house cost £3,000 to build and upgrading it to a self-contained holiday let cost £12,000.
