Attending our Self-Build Academy courses, which this couple described as “Fantastic” and highly recommended for anyone considering a self-build, retired banker Bob and his wife Mandy, a retired GP turned a holiday let into a fantastic self-build project which became their main home.

The couple found a bungalow set on a beautiful 1 acre plot in the Helford Passage area with previous planning permission for a very modern house which seemed out of character for the area and chose to work with Potton on a new design that suited them and was more in keeping with its surroundings.
Using our ‘Ideas Book’ and working with Sean Adams, the couple started with a design based on our Waterford B but after a series of modifications they ended up with an almost bespoke design to submit to planning - which passed without any objections.
