This award-winning “C” Listed building was formerly a carriage house to St Thomas Church and dates from the 1800s but had fallen into such disrepair that engineers had recommended demolition.

However, new owners with a vision purchased the building and substantially re-built and restored the structure using the original granite and slate and have successfully preserved it for the future.

The internal space is designed with a vaulted studio space and an associated bathroom. On the ground floor, there is a small kitchen/workroom, and on the first floor, there is a large storage area. Winner of the Aberdeenshire Council Conservation and Building Adaptation Award – “Distinction”.
