The room has three large, double glazed windows, one west facing and two south facing - it’s wonderfully bright.

The studio flat is part of an old industrial building, originally built as the weaving shed for Kaye’s Textile Mill, around 1880. After the mill was shut down the weaving shed became the village hall. At one point in the 1920s it was a roller skating rink. It then became a book binders and in the 1930s Walker’s Printers. As the owner was also an organist, playing at the local churches and chapels, there used to be organs along one wall and the apprentice boy had to operate the bellows during his break, while eating his lunch, so that Mr. Walker could practice.

It has been our family home since 2009. I am a textile designer and my husband John is a photographer and filmmaker, so we have studio spaces and a workshop. We both work from home and host events here. We also rent the studio space out.

I grew up on a farm in Bavaria, where my family runs holiday flats. Before studying textile design I worked in the hotel and hospitality industry for ten years. John ran an outdoor pursuits centre in the South of France for seven years before returning to the UK and starting a career in television. We both have lots of experience in hospitality and are looking forward to making your stay with us extra special.

Born in the 70s
My work: Artist
(For German translation please scroll down.) I'm a textile designer and maker from Bavaria, Germany, now living in Yorkshire, UK, with my British husband and our two children. Before studying textile design I worked in hotels and the hospitality industry for ten years. When studying at the University of Huddersfield I met John and moved to Yorkshire in 2008 to be with him. The following year we've bought an old Printworks and turned it into our dream house, which we have been renovating, decorating and restoring for the last years and we are looking forward to make your stay with us extra special. And again in German: I am a textile designer, originally from Bavaria, and now live with my British husband and our two children in Yorkshire, the United Kingdom. After completing an apprenticeship as a hotel manager and working in hotels and restaurants for a total of ten years, I studied textile design. I got to know John and moved to Yorkshire in 2008. The following year we bought an old print shop and turned into our dream house. For the last ten years we have rebuilt, renovated, restored and are now looking forward to welcoming guests to our house and making their stay very special. I am interested in textiles, art and culture, like to cook and bake (vegetarian) and host art and craft classes in our workshop.
