Hello everyone
My building thread
The Bordeaux
http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz47/sharonross13/image_zps98316ee0.jpg
When we signed up there was no bath in the ENS
With a few changes we got a house that would make us all happy!
5x2 with a big study, a big theatre, all the rooms are big, a games room for the kids that is separate to the other rooms and for me a kitchen that I could be happy with for the rest of my life!
The Bordeaux our way
The land
690m2 with a 20m frontage
