It's actually zoned for housing

...there is a house on either side, so in theory it's an fill development

tbh, the views up there are great, but the weather can be hard to handle... looking forward to getting the dog up there for a run along the beech

Fantastic, you got any thoughts on what you'd want to do?? Where is it anyway? up on the Antrim coast somewhere?

Looking for something of a traditional style with some contemporary details

Still need to sort out the sale of the site first

This was on the market for £1.6m....

house to rent in Sandelswood End, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, HP9 - 5 bedrooms, 4 reception rooms, 4 bathrooms | Primelocation

Not the most imaginative use though, looks a bit too boring this one, not enough glazing...

Although is is very rural, the house would be within the settlement area, but the planning does seem to be very relaxed compared to around home.

I could almost get away with something like that as most of the houses have a Scandinavian style to them and are timber clad... budget could be a problem though

mad brummie · Apr 21st, 2008, 02:40 PM

is it up in Shetland then Ian?

Not the nicest one I have seen..but I really do love those houses. I could afford the house , but not a plot to put it on sadly and then is the matter of actually getting planning in the first place...

One of the lads at work has just got shot of his Jag XKR 1,400miles on the clock (under a year old) - how much has he lost (hint think BIG numbers

)

Aye... home from home

Sites are quite cheap, but building costs are close to double
