I love the roofline - I do wonder of you're set on the interlocking concretes?
The roof is such a feature that I feel it would benefit from plain tiles - have a look at something like Marley Eternit Plain Clay tiles.
To be fair, having never done this before I didn't even consider the type of roof tiles and I'm well past the stage of being able to influence this (OK, I get it... should've posted here months ago ).
To be honest though, anything which would push the budget further than I already have is OFF!
And you had no issues or hassle from the planning department?
Well, I did cheat slightly. I bought the 'plot' with panning permission approved so I guess I entered the process at a later stage. I managed to get through all my changes with just an amendment by ensuring I adhered to all the conditions set to on the original plan (which to be fair was limited mainly to roof height).
It helps that my builder appears to be friendly with the local panning officer too
Thanks for posting. Lets see the gleaming E63 outside or inside its lair when you are done.
Now this place has gone to the dogs Firstly, people want to know about the house instead of the E63.....then they want to see the E63 in the drive but not the GT!!! :wall bash:
LOL
1320 sq ft downstairs, a bit less upstairs...should be roomy.
I guess so, but it oddly doesn't feel it currently. That said, my last house was 1800 sq/ft across 3 floors and that wasn't a small house so I guess I'll be happy with the size when it's finished.
Looks great, how's your stress levels?
OK, considering I actually feel homeless.
That's a very handsome looking house, in a good location
Thanks, although I'm nervous until I actually see it finished. Hard to visualise everything on paper, especially with no experience of this!
Location is, for us, awesome. We love the village where we live and this is on the road we always wanted to live on....and on the right side of the road so it overlooks fields
Couldn't see the fire/chimney on the floor plans?
Don't be mean with power points, put in twice as many as you think you need.
A cat 5e network would cost £300 to £500 in materials plus about a days labour to install.
The fireplace is the section that comes out into the middle of the sitting/dining room on the plan. No chimney - it'll flu out the back of the house. Apart from the roof, this is probably the most complicated part of the house because it's a bit out of the norm for the builder.
These network cables, everyone seems to be mentioning this (and not only on here). But why? If I have a good wireless network, why do I need all these data points? You guys must have more stuff to plug in than me!
