Hi there, I'd like some comments and/or advice please.

I'm just about to move into a property I owned with my wife before we
separated. Basically, it's two houses that were converted from a workshop
and has been let to housing association tenants. I only need a reasonable
living space and it occurred to me that the other half would make a
fantastic studio space to let out by the hour or day. The space I'm thinking
of using has been left in a right old state by the tenant so needs
completely decorating from top to bottom.

Any opinions as to whether there is actually much call for studios to let
outside the main places like London. It's in Wilton, near Salisbury,
Wiltshire.

I was thinking of putting in some Colorama backgrounds, maybe 4 flash heads
with accessories and some props. There would be a nice kitchen, loo,
bathroom and changing room (bedroom). There could also be a darkroom, but
I'm not sure whether that would be worth setting up.

Is it pie in the sky or would there be some demand for it. What sort of
facilities are usually expected? I'm not looking for a huge income, just
something to help pay the (never decreasing) mortgage. I'm also a keen
photographer myself so it would be a nice facility to have.

All comments gratefully received.

Regards
Andrew Holder
