Beukley Covert

Converted telephone exchange An unusual new use for one of the tiny isolated former telephone exchanges which dot the countryside. In recent years, this has apparently been converted into holiday accommodation by the addition of a mezzanine floor with dormer window, and a conservatory-style extension to the rear. Obviously occupied at the time of imagery, despite it being well outside the holiday season, as a car was parked outside and a generator was running (presumably no mains electric supply). The conversion was designed by Great Space Architects.  <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.greatspacearchitects.com/portfolio-items/the-telephone-exchange/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.greatspacearchitects.com/portfolio-items/the-telephone-exchange/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> shows the floorplan and photos of the conversion in progress.
