Additional Floor Postdating MuseumThe two original upstairs rooms are now situated on the first floor of a two-storey building. Despite the addition of an extra floor, the old cottage interior remains self-contained.
The dimensions of upstairs rooms are unaltered, though there is now a bathroom at the back of the house. This sits above the downstairs extension built later as part of Ruskin House.
Upstairs Room: WestThis room measures 360 cm (frontal width) x 393 cm (depth). The chimney breast is positioned on the south wall. It measures 141 cm across, with alcoves on either side measuring approximately 108 cm and 111 cm. These alcoves are 13 cm deep. There are two windows: one is in the north side wall, at the front of the house (visible in the 'Exterior' photograph); the other is set in the adjacent wall and offers westward views up the Rivelin Valley (for photograph, see link at bottom of page).
