	Bastle house - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bastle houses are found along the Anglo-Scottish border, in the areas formerly plagued by border Reivers.
		The characteristics of the classic bastle house are extremely thick stone walls (1 meter or so), with the ground floor devoted to stable-space for the most valuable animals, and usually a stone vault between it and the first (American second) floor.
		Bastle houses have many characteristics in common with military blockhouses, the main difference being that a bastle house was intended primarily as a family dwelling, instead of a pure fortification.

		Our farmhouse has evolved over the last five centuries from a single storey, reed thatched hovel where the family lived alongside the animals, to a ‘Bastle House’ protecting the family from the Border Reevers then extended to a Cumbrian Long House - using old ships beams for the floor and roofs.

		We see the family home as the most important building type and have designed several new-build private houses, in a range of styles, many extensions and alterations to existing houses and residential homes, and also conversions of disused agricultural and other buildings into dwellings.
		We have also carried out access audits, defects investigations, condition inspections and quinquennial reports to guide conservation and maintenance and budgeting, often going on from this to act in the design of improvements and the repair and restoration of key historic elements of fine historic houses, including windows, chimneys, roofs, parapets and battlements.
