A lovley house though.


Some of the design worked for me but only in the "tall areas" the rest
of it looked distinctly plain and totally unsuited to its
surroundings.

As for the execution I'm not sure if it was a trick of the light but
on the "gable end" where the roof wrapped over it looked very bashed
about. Also on the render there appeared to be a distinct non
continuous step join running horizontally around first floor level.
They also appeared to have built up close to the edge of their plot
rather than allow a reasonable garden space - looking out of those
huge windows onto a bit of wire fence ruined what could have been a
good view - upside down living would have been a more suitable
approach in my view.
