Ps lovely house
I'm 47 years old with two young kids. If was to go out drinking there's no way it would be anywhere in Chesham. I moved from Central London...if pubs were what was important I would never have moved;) Ticked that box long and hard as a nipper. Didn't get married til I was nearly 40 so had plenty of time for boozing.Mike
Ps lovely house
At the moment, live in here:
(image blatantly robbed from an estate agent listing, never nowhere taking one myself)
Should have been moving 6 weeks ago, now next week in to our new place:
The garage and driveway were quite important to me, far too many new builds have pathetic sized garages that barely even fit a single car.

Is that a timber ground floor ?
I didn't think anyone did that in a new build for the last 30 years.
How delightfully PH a response.I didn't think anyone did that in a new build for the last 30 years.
Yes, it is indeed a timber ground floor. Whilst the rest of the UK has moved on, its still quite common up here.
I'd have assumed in wetter areas the use of timber was less, not more likely, why haven't the Scots changed to concrete beam ?

That's exciting! I love your open vaulted gallery and what looks like a massive window looking onto wilderness. I'm planning to knock through a ceiling into the 2nd floor to create a double height room with a balcony at the moment - so I'm a bit obsessed with balconies and skylights

just had a quick scan through and the bit that really made me chuckle was the screeders..... I have a similar thing with my fencing... They started on site 1st week March....it is September next week and we still have no post caps on our peers.... i get a weekly project management update and a promise they complete snagging 'next week - it's laughable now and they won't get paid till they install them. Not for the fait hearted this stuff is it (and mine is just a renovation rather than a build).GetCarter said:

We moved in here at the end of last year. It's slightly unusual, both for the somewhat elongated layout (two houses built on one original plot), and more so for the construction technique (it came on a lorry from Austria). It was a bit of a leap of faith for us to buy a house with literally no bricks or mortar... but it's working out well so far. The developer fitted it out to a fairly high standard so it has a nice modern feel inside.
