Locked in study habits
There's nothing like a study routine and having a dedicated zone is a great head start – this mezzanine study with furniture built in offers a case in point
'Fashion fades, style is eternal'
This haute couture designer's quote equally applies to roof lines – Dimond roofing profiles look strong, stylish and enduring because that's what they are – which one is right for your home?

Grey brickwork cladding comes indoors in this home, greeted there by a grey hearth, grey ultra-comfortable furniture and even grey carpet underfoot

Location is key in achieving your dream home, the size of the location that is – this big-hearted G.J. Gardner showhome goes places other generous houses won't
