We love our home. We didn't build it, but it was a 150 year old stone built derelict 2 into 1 cottage. We did it on a shoestring. 65k for house and just under 30k completely gutted and rebuilt inside. I drew up our plans myself to go to 4 beds, and wish we had decent advice to call on.
We don't have gas as was 10.5k to get mains here we were coal central heating with extra wood burner, but added oil a year later. We suffer still with damp, and struggle as our house stays cool. But I love it. Really want some other heating source but sadly no money. We search for our wood for free.
The garden at back is our paradise as the parents of old couple I knew here, kept the seperated back garden for the terrace of 5, so it's a decent size, plus side garden and front. Drive at front, 4 car parking bay at back, plus annoying 6 garage and turning area that we only own land underneath on. 2 of the garages are ours.
