On an idyllic site in the West Sussex countryside, a Scandia house is in the early stages of being built. The area has been cleared and groundworks have begun, with a basement starting to take shape within the earth. The timber frame is set to be delivered in the coming weeks, arriving just after Christmas.

The bespoke design is a traditional style cottage to suit the rural surroundings of the South Downs National Park, with a mixed exterior finish of stonework and brick. The property will be a generous size consisting of 3 storeys. A gym, wine cellar and media room will be created in the basement; with the ground floor comprising an open plan kitchen / breakfast area as well as separate sitting, family and dining rooms, a utility space and office, with stairs leading to the first floor where four bedrooms will be situated (three en-suite), and a family bathroom. This will be an incredible family home when complete in Summer 2018.
