The fire is an open hearth and it is possible to sit right under the chimney opening ..." / Ref : Bronyfelin - "... it had a hard earth floor and a "Crogloft" reached by climbing a ladder. There was no window in this loft though a zinc skylight could be opened to admit light or more air ..." [1945]
