What's the best thing about it?Because we built the house, we were able to ensure that we brought to it exactly what we wanted in respect of design and high specification with a view to high energy savings.
Starting with a site gives you a lot more scope. We knew the architect and he really listened to us, coming up with an unusual design which we love.
We wanted to ensure there was plenty of natural light throughout the house and this was achieved with large windows.
Another major feature is the large pond, with Japanese Koi, and elevated large decking areas on different levels.
Many a meal has been enjoyed here, admiring our landscaped back garden.
