In
May 2009 I saw an advert for ¼ acre plots of land, on a lake in Norfolk about 70
miles north of my main home with outline planning permission to build lakeside
log cabin-style holiday homes on it. I bought one plot prior to auction, have
cleared the site and submitted a plan to the local council to build it;
permission was granted in Feb 2010. The mortgage was provided for funding the
project by the ever-helpful
Harpenden Building
Society. Hopefully it will be completed by July and is ahead of schedule. The 3 bedroom 2 storey cabin comes from a specialist manufacturer in
Estonia. The foundations were dug and concrete poured on 13th April. The cabin
arrived April 22nd and the build started next day. Here are some pics of the
site, its development and plans of the cabin. The architect is Peter Gidney, project managers and builders are
Anglia Log Cabins
of Kings Lynn and the manufacturers
Palmatin of Tallinn.
The cost of the land was £45,000 plus legal fees and the cost to complete the
house including a large garage and all fittings is estimated to be £135,000.
