Ian and Louise sought a forever home and found a suitable plot near Cirencester after three years of searching while living in Dubai. They were attracted to timber frame self-builds after visiting the Homebuilding & Renovating Show. They fell in love with oak, prompting them to work with Border Oak to modify existing plans for their new home. The design incorporated Cotswold stone, natural timber boarding, and triple-glazed joinery, taking a year to complete.
"We fell in love with both the look and the smell of the oak," says Ian, "and after talking to the team on the Border Oak stand, we became excited at the thought of building what we knew would be our home for life."
Eventually, through an estate agent, we found a place near Cirencester, which ticked the boxes - south-facing, away from a main road and not too far from the nearest town - and through a process of sealed bids, we were lucky enough to get it," says Ian.
