Without their help I would not be doing what I am doing now!<\/p>\n<p>I bought a house in Dartmouth, at an auction in Feb 2012. With masses of help from my other half Andrew and his crew I renovated this property and sold it on earlier this year 2014. Selling this property enabled me to provide increased capital to build my oak frame farm cottage. The cottage was originally used as a gardeners cottage to the main house, Trevarth house.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2454 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpenteroak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/kitto_new_build_oak_framed_home_blog_photo_exterior_before-270x200-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpenteroak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/kitto_new_build_oak_framed_home_blog_photo_bedroom_view_before-270x200-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpenteroak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/kitto_new_build_oak_framed_home_blog_photo_interior_before_03-270x200-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpenteroak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/kitto_new_build_oak_framed_home_blog_photo_interior_before_02-270x200-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpenteroak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/kitto_new_build_oak_framed_home_blog_photo_interior_before-270x200-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpenteroak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/kitto_new_build_oak_framed_home_blog_photo_exterior_before_03-270x200-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"The site of a new oak framed home before construction starts\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>My dad has let me (very, very kind of him!) build my very own house on the farm.
