Also, being Yorkshire, it’s likely that the only vegetarian option would be rhubarb and chips.
So in researching for a design for the en suite we stumbled upon this which is near as dammit the thing we had in our minds all along, with a few tweaks here and there (like black and white geometric floor but not that one).
I’m dog sitting today so I have laptop and and searching for the various bits starting with finding some square aqua tiles like the ones in the picture (aqua glow by Daltile apparently (US).
I got a nice 1960s multi colour blind from a house we we were working on in Peterborough. It was a thinish one for a toilet/stairway window and larger one which I put in the bathroom. Sadly the large one broke

It is an exceptionally elegant example of brutalist design in a very lovely woodland setting. It’s well worth seeking out if you’re in the area even in its current state.
Has to be worth somebody taking on, Shirley ?
Too expensive and far away to make it remotely practical. Love to though.
I’d imagine someone will restore it to its former glory but it would be a much more attractive proposition if planning permission was in place, or could be obtained, for residential rather than commercial use.
I think that is the only way it would work, so must be a gimme.
