Emma Windsor and Peter Fox of Balcony House have recently refurbished a barn within the grounds of Balcony House as a holiday cottage. Some of you may remember the barn or even have been there, as it was once home to a montessori nursery school. Emma and her former husband bought Balcony House some 9 years ago and although the nursery school was still there it was no longer used.
