Details: 

This house has yet to built for Lee Manning, Carpenter Oak's Financial Director.  You can follow this new build with photos on this website or on Lee own blog which he keeps up-to-date. www.timberframehouse.eu      We are also running a series of 4 short articles over 8 months in 'Devon Life' magazine, which can be opened on the HOME page - the first part came out in December 2011 and the next is due out in the February 2012 issue. 

This architect's sketch illustrates what the house will look like by next June?  We hope!
