A woodland house

Wow! Is the site in a forest, or just look that way?

 

Congratulations on the PP, too.

If I were you I'd go for timber frame . 

Itll be the first house built for free . 

@vivienz Thanks and yes the house is in a woodland although the plot doesn't look quite like that (the previous owner took  a bit of a scorched earth approach to it). There's a photo in an earlier post I think.

 

@NickfromwalesFunnily enough it will be a timber frame although unfortunately the quality of the timber is probably not up to it (yet, although we're working on that, but it's a long term project when you're working with trees!).

Congratulations! Lovely plot.

Perhaps a spot of rewilding? Native broadleaf? Beaver? Perhaps even lynx?

There are some amazing plots on here and this is another one. Definitely has the wow factor. 

Congratulations, major hurdle overcome.

cheers everyone. @Dreadnaughtthis bit of the wood is a prime candidate for a bit of 'rewilding'. It'll just be left to do its own thing and we'll concentrate on areas with better soils. I think there were some beavers in the area few years ago. One of the old farmers (now deceased) who lived on the other side of the Glen had the distinction of being the last person to trap a big cat I think!

@joe90 we're going for a bit more modern timber frame - we don't have the skills or the know how to do that and meet building regs (though it can clearly be done).
