Kevin's View

Kevin On Site, Sussex: New England Gable House

'This is an interesting, challenging house... '

'They've built it as a melting pot into which they've poured their lives - their travels in Morocco and America, their loves and interests.'

'But I do have reservations about the building process.'

'I think buildings ought to respond very much to where they are - and this is an incongruous American building, constructed from a kit, in a very pretty part of England.'

  1. Very interested to learn how the £100K property was found in such a highly desirable location? The cost of the land really made this a very attractive option.

  6. A think the interior colors are fantastic. Good job. I'm building at the coast in Chile and would lie to incorporate some similar blends. Can I be provided with some additional photos? The colors in the broadcast were deeper than what I can see on the web page. Was there an exterior wall in a shade of green? Great fireplace! The show has become one of our favorites!

  7. I'm also interested in how the prices would compare from 2001 to today. I'd also be interested in how many square foot the property is.

  9. The land was purchased in 1999 , completion was in 2000 . How would the prices compare now 10 years later? Fluctuation of exchange rates and the whole world economy have altered drastically in the past 3 months.

  10. I think the big lesson for the Uk builders was the use of nail guns. They are used widely here in Australia, and I was surprised that the builder did not acquire one during construction? Great house, fire place although interesting and not un-attractive, seems to be a little out of place. Otherwise, I love the look of the place and the decor. Thanks for sharing you build with the world Jane!
