Lark's Cottage is a beautiful, creative haven, attached to the owners house, set in 14 acres of mostly re-wilded Buckinghamshire countryside. It is off-grid for electricity and some water so you can enjoy your time guilt free. Whether you need inspiration to create or just want to relax, there's plenty to spark imagination and calm the soul. Often used as the artist accommodation for the legendary Lark's Tongue Studio, the cottage has been home to some of the biggest names in music. The space The cottage consists of 1 double bedroom which looks out to the vegetable garden and 1 twin room with the same aspect. There is a large wardrobe and dressing table in the master and a small cupboard and tall mirror in the twin. There is further storage in the hall. The bathroom has a bath with shower over it and a glass shower screen, slate tiles and a heated towel rail. The main living space comprises the seating / TV area with a large 3 or 4 seater sofa, foot stool and oak coffee table. The TV has Netflix, Amazon, Youtube and other smart TV stuff on it. There is also a range of puzzles, boardgames and books for you to enjoy as well as the piano (tuned regularly but it's not the best). The kitchen / dining area is simple and effective with well stocked cupboards full of all the utensils you'll need. You can cook using the 2 ring electric hob and the microwave combi oven. A cafetiere and some ground coffee is provided as well as the basics like milk, butter, sugar etc. There is a 4 seater dining table with light over. Outside you have use of the courtyard. The studio also shares the courtyard but at weekends you will have it to yourself. There is a table and chairs out there for you to eat, drink and relax. A charcoal bbq is available on request. Please note that the courtyard is not fully enclosed. Although this is yours while you're staying access through it may be necessary to get to the barn where a tractor and some equipment is stored. We sit in 14 acres of countryside and you are welcome to explore. Feel free to go to the lake where you can picnic, go out in the rowing boat or swim if you're brave (we do but it's not a swimming pond). The Studio: Lark's Cottage is part of The Lark's Tongue, the private recording studio where some of the UK's biggest artists made their most loved songs. It's not commercially available and so remains very exclusive. Although this is a working studio, it's actually a very quiet space. While you are staying with us you are unlikely to see artists because the cottage is the artist accommodation. You may occasionally hear us working but only during the week and always at very low levels. Environmental Conservation: We have a 48 solar panel array plus large batteries which power the whole estate. There is an 8 metre deep well in the main house which provides about 25% of our water. The studio is heated by a ground source heat pump and the ground floor of the house by wood. The cottage has oil fired central heating which will be changed in due course. We have returned the previously farmed land to nature which is why you will see a wide range of birds and wild animals about the place. Guest access You have the 2 bed cottage, the courtyard and you can use the lake and walk on footpaths which we'll give you a map of. We ask that you do not use the back door from the kitchen area as this accesses the vegetable patch and the private house garden beyond. Other things to note The lake is not enclosed so children are to be watched at all times. The courtyard is open to the driveway so again, children must be watched.
