Early stages of the build. All blockwork has been done and the slating is in progress. |
|
The rear of the house at the same stage. |

|
 |
| |
The house is finished now except for paint. the pile of blocks in the foreground are for a freestanding garage which will stand to the left of the house. |
|
The completed house has now been painted. The Howarths have chosen to have their cills & mullions painted grey which gives the house a very traditional finish. |

The very spacious and bright kitchen. There's plenty space here for some very luxurious cooking and entertaining. |
|
From the kitchen looking back to the dining area which is in the centre of the house. |

In this particular house, the rear bedroom has been split into two smaller, but still spacious rooms which are used for the two businesses the Howarths operate from their house. Lynne is a dermatology nurse and therapist and uses this room for her treatments..... |
|
.....while Jon works from this office in the other half of the room. You can still get a rough idea of the size of the original room from these two photographs side by side. |

| |
This main bedroom is on the first floor. You can get an idea of the coomb heights in this one & three quarter story house. |
|
This bedroom also on the first floor and to the front of the house was claimed by the Howarths son Thomas. He clearly spotted that this house not only has windows to the front, but also two to the side which maximise his views around the surrounding neighbourhood. |
