I want to go green........

[woodnut67]

I've just had a "eureka" moment on deciding what to do with our corner plot in the garden.



I've got acces to literally tons of old bricks, slate, sandstone etc from a farmhouse renovation and would like to build a very rustic "bolthole" complete with open fire as opposed to a prefab wooden summerhouse, so would like to enlist the help of you good people for advice

i) Should I go for it?

ii) Round or square? (seen some good roundhouses!)

iii) What if any planning complications would there be?

iv) Any size suggestions ?

v) How easy would a sod/garden roof be?

vi) Any piccys/plans I could use for inspiration would be gratefully accepted.

Time isn't of the essence and therefore don't mind spending the long, hot summer and beyond on it's construction.

Thanks
