Nice plan! We will follow your post as we are also building with Aveling.

We are building a similar dual occupancy home and to comply with the new energy rating requirements had to be very conscious of window placement and having enough natural light…

Oh sorry, yes..... misunderstood. We opted for single course as we didn't want render but I don't believe it was any extra.

Hello there. My apologies for not getting back to you sooner but I haven't…

Great idea to have the robes out under the eaves in the bedrooms for extra space (and a bit of a buffer between the rooms and the air con unit).…

My circumstances were a little different but I was waiting on payment from both my neighbours as I was the first to build in a new estate.
