The Cedar House

Built for a civil engineer in the year the Salang tunnel opened, and barely altered since. Four ranges around a square courtyard, with the original cedar screens on the first floor still opening on their own hinges. The garden has three mulberries older than the house and a water channel that still runs in April.

What is there

• Original carved cedar screens throughout the upper floor
• Walled garden with mature mulberry and a running channel
• Underfloor heating retrofitted to the ground floor in 2019
• Separate two-room guest range off the north court
