That is a truly cool house and garden!! Having just completed a search for a house to rent (Yes, back in Wiltshire) I can truly say I wish I'd seen something like that!! (But have found a very nice house near Wootton Basset, thanks for asking, and will at last be able to take my place at the hallowed turf ere long.)

How much did it cost to do all that? Amazing.

There's a bottle dumped on the table despite the place mats.
Exactly what sort of riff-raff operation to do run?

That is immense. I absolutely love the kitchen and the bathroom. Were they as expensive as they look?

Is anyone else wondering how an ex-copper could afford all this? Are you a fellow fan of brown envelopes, @MacPhlea?  I don't want to go home to my shithole of a flat now. Thanks! |

It depends on what you class as expensive - to do the shower room worked out at about £1,500 for all the bits - most of which I got of e-bay. The toilet I got for a song from B&Q because 'it didn't have a cistern' - they didn't realise it was a hidden cistern system so didn't have one in the first place and so dropped the price from £300 to £10!!! We were quoted between £25k and £50k for the kitchen from 4 different suppliers. Apart from the £50k quote, the corian island wasn't included and the units being supplied were of lower quality than the ones I eventually sourced myself at www.diy-kitchens.com (cheaper than B&Q, better quality than leekes). Total cost of the kitchen was £15.5k (£11k of which was the appliances and corian island) |

Fair play to you @MacPhlea! That's a bloody good house! Loving the picture of what it used to look like and what it's like now!
