Farmer’s Weekly – 23 August 2019

Hillbilly Homes LIFESTYLE

Dear Jonno
Thank you for the sketch.
At a glance, there are some
things that need changing.
We don’t want a garage now
as we will build one later.
The spare bedrooms are too
small. Could they be 3,9m x
4m, like the original plan?
I can’t see the gun safe.
We would like a shower
as well as a bath in the
main bathroom.

The porch at the back

should be just a small

overhang to protect the

scullery door from rain.

The other porch close to

it is likely to be used for

the dog baskets, so that

will need a roof and

perhaps a half-wall.

We would like the veranda

to be 4m wide, please.

Kind regards,

Jackie

Dear Jackie,

Thanks for your further ideas.

I have adjusted the bedroom sizes

to 3,9m x 4m , but had to place

them at the house-end to fit

into the width of the house and

the roof structure. The study

has been moved forward to be

part of the central living area.

The doggy porch is now wider

on the one side to accommodate

the kennels. It has 1m-high side

walls and a fold-back wire gate.

Your en suite bathroom is

now larger to accommodate

both shower and bath. All

cupboards shown are inclusive

of the indicated room sizes.

The gun safe can be at the

junction of the WC and basin

of the m ain bedroom.

Please let me know of any styling

features you may want to change,

especially the roof. I’ve kept the

home cost-effective to build.

Kind regards, Jonno
