The steels for the rest of the the ground floor have been positioned to give you a real sense of how big this house actually is! The harlequin hedge is looking beautiful in the sunlight.

The new build country house in Nottinghamshire is progressing nicely. Some more scaffolding has been taken away revealing more of the stunning eastern gable. The conservatory stone is complete, the roof lantern is in position and the leadwork is in progress.

At least we have this photo to remind us... Construction of the conservatory is on going and the stone masons from Croft are carefully measuring and working the stone to fit the semicircular design. The detailing on the stonework needs to be precise to ensure that the finished conservatory is
