Yes, it's amazing what one can do if parents own a timber frame
company.

One of the comments on that page is "You'll need at least £350,000 to
build this cottage. Border Oak will build the house for £147k but that
won't include electrical work, plumbing, heating, kitchen fittings,
bathroom fittings etc so budget a further £50k. [Posted by Pete

Still looks better than any 197k house

....but then there is the cost of the land, 55k quoted, so that's 252k

Yep, still looks better than any 252k house, but not quite 130k
