The owners Andrew and Vivienne Brister have lived in the adjacent property known as Sumach for the last 21 years. This property is also a timber building with a corrugated iron roof though it was built long before the Garden Room. Sumach was built in 1920 and it is believed was part of a similar scheme to the 'Homes for Heroes' scheme designed to stimulate the rural economy and industry after the 1st World War, by providing a home and a small acreage to set up agricultural smallholdings.
