"An old house may be built of the humblest, simplest materials, and, like a bird's nest, be a thing of great beauty," the author had written Deakin, who wrote Waterlog: A Swimmer's Journey Through Britain, spoke about his home and its garden onIn addition to the house, there are also three other living spaces outside, a railway wagon, an outhouse and a shepherd's hut.
While the outhouse "takes in incredible views of the long field stretching to what almost seems the horizon", the shepherd's hut was where Deakin often decamped to write and "avoid the permanence of a house which he thought hindered his best inspiration".
