  2. Every time I see one of those stone walls I think of the labor involved in moving each and every one of those rocks by hand.

    1. Dry stone walling is a very skilled craft. Do it right and a dry stone wall will stand for centuries. There are miles of ancient dry stone walls in England.

  3. This is an old Garde 2 listed cottage, not newly built at all.

  6. I also thought it was 'Rosehill' (which they did build for the movie), but the 94th picture in IMDB shows a different set of windows and roofline - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457939/mediaviewer/rm2084606977
