The numbers seem to be heading in two directions: a) two four-bed detached houses on the site; or b) one five-bed making best use of the garden and kicking innumerable access and utility issues into the long grass. Advice from agent has stymied building lots of smaller units, which I have regrets over given the unaffordability of property and the prevalence of young people being forced to move out of villages where they'd prefer to live but, hey, that's capitalism for you. There are also innumerable tax implications, both IHT and CGT, influencing the decision which is outside the scope of this blog (polite way of saying none of your business), so forgive me if the final decision may not make the most sense from an external perspective.
The 5-bed is the strategy if we end up living in it in which case we'll probably either ask Knott to design something, or may go down the Potton route. Meanwhile, I'm working with a rollerball, photocopier and tippex to sketch out a couple of four-bed houses on the site plan to take to the Council for a pre-application meeting. All highly professional, honest.
