“We love the high ceiling in the living room with the Velux windows and surrounding full-length
windows looking onto the garden,” – Sarah Wright
aesthetic of a log cabin – resulting in a beautiful eco-friendly project.”
Despite the challenges and the major
redesign it needed, Sarah remains a fan of the kit house concept. “I would advise anyone to consider a kit house because you get everything delivered in one go including the glass for the windows, and all the doors.

“You need to buy your own kitchen and
bathroom fittings and we in fact managed to use leftover wood to build most of the kitchen and bathroom and just had to buy appliances. You also need to provide your own insulation and electrician for wiring. “We sourced anything we did need locally such as the second-hand slate tiles for the roof and materials for the foundations from a local company called Travails who we would highly recommend. Because access to our plot was difficult they also allowed us to store some materials at their site and they are literally a couple of miles away. They also hired us equipment such as the digger for the foundations.”
While the house is officially finished, Trevor still has plans – creating a mezzanine floor in one of the guest rooms to make room for an en suite among them. “I would do it again,” he says enthusiastically. Sarah is more adamant that it will be their
forever home. “Every day I think about how lucky I am,” she says. “I am never going to stop being grateful that I live here.”
