Hello everyone, first timer and just starting on a new build (first one), going down main contractor route up in lovely Northumberland. We’ve done lots of research but still have a million unanswered questions! Plot size 3/4 acre in the national park. design is a small 3 bed with detached garage. Sips construction with air source heat pump, wanted ground source but the fear of archaeology swayed us. The plot is an old sheep holding where the land hasn’t been touched forever. This website seems to be the font of all knowledge so apologies now for all the stupid questions that I have. My first welcome question for the forum is about the garage, we have a tight budget of £20k, we have planning for a double, part stone part Trespa cladding, whilst looking around and surfing the endless web, the oak garage kits look lovely and would  fit well within the small village that we are moving too. 

 

So! Has anyone any thoughts/experiences/ideas re garages. Oak kits you have to register your interest to get a quote, so haven’t a clue how much they cost. I like the thought of maintenance free, but it also has to look right.

 

look forward to any response ?

Welcome.
