USP Find your own space

Aroom of one’s own seems to be a universal object of desire, considering the interest in garden offices, converted sheds and other smallscale projects.

While they can be a practical addition to a house that is full to brimming, providing guest accommodation, an office to work in or an additional outdoor entertaining space, the best should be jealously guarded and kept as the ultimate retreat from the stresses of everyday life.

The Rig which is situated in Haddington Road, Aberlady, in East Lothian is a unique and spacious four-bedroomed steading conversion with a lovely private garden and a double garage.

The main house, which has plenty of period charm, is an interesting and extremely comfortable family home with excellent storage and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

The chic modern dining kitchen has an Aga at its centre.

Its best feature is found in the garden however.

The stunning garden studio has a vaulted ceiling and large sliding doors leading to a decked patio area.

Inside, there is a Jotul multi fuel stove, a surround sound system and a projector.

The brochure says that the studio is ideal for family entertainment.

But why share this tranquil haven with anyone else?
