I’ve always loved the rustic, unfussy feel of this “bathroom”. I first spotted it in an article for Country Style magazine , and it immediately caught my attention. When I looked it up again recently, I ended up finding the house itself, which you can see here. It’s called The Wensley, and it’s available to rent as a holiday stay.
The house sits on 80 acres of gently rolling land in Wensleydale and is built from recycled Oregon and Ironbark, which only adds to its warmth and character. It is perched above a wide valley and reached by a striking timber bridge, the design takes inspiration from traditional Australian sheds and American ski lodges — a combination I find especially appealing. Everything about it feels thoughtful and intentional, from the structure to the interiors. High ceilings, expansive windows and natural materials allow the landscape to flow inside, creating a calm, pared-back retreat that feels a world away from everyday life.
