Hi people, am just looking to pick peoples brains. After 4 year battle with
the local planners we have finally got planning permission for the
conversion of a Barn into residential premises. Waiting so long we are eager
to get things rolling, and will be seeing the architect in the next week or
so.

However after doing our first house as a self build there were a number of
things we missed and would have liked. We want this one to be perfect not
just for us but for families down the line. So what I was looking for was
things that people on here would really like to have see in their house.
Things we are considering a Network cables to most rooms, Underfloor
heating, Reed bed sewage treatment, Heat exchangers. Now this is only a few
things if people on here have ideas on these or any others ideas I would be
much appreciated.
Yours
John



UFH, Open Fire, forget the read bed go Packaged Sewage Treatment Unit,
more child friendly, imagine your child in the reed bed .......

Good views, distanc from parents to kids at night - but not too much -
good kitchen, windows

A room where He can go to get away from Her and Them is a complete
marriage saver.


On the architect, get one that can design what you can afford to
build!!
