Shedworking project: pig-shed to home office

Regular readers will know that I relocated my family from London to rural Northumberland 18 months ago and that I travel back and forth.

At home in Northumberland we’ve just completed the conversion of an old shed into an office. The building stands alone within the walls of our garden. It’s approximately 200 years old, maybe older, and during its lifetime has been a pig shed, a kennel and a garden store.

The office is now fully kitted out with broadband, electricity and heating. It has its own monitoring system and alarm which is monitored via an underground Ethernet link back to the farmhouse.

I’ll stick it on Twitter before long.

    Looks good. Irt’s nice to be able to have that little commute, even if it is just a stroll across the garden, and it’s also good to keep the work out of the house.
    Hope it’s as good for working in as it looks!

    Wow – I (and a bet a lot of others) have often thought about the practicalities of moving elsewhere but still coming down to London a few days a week. This really shows how it can be done

  3. I do the same but my home office lacks the glamour of Wadds, pigshed :)
