Vine Cottage | Laying the Foundations

November 3, 2014 By Rob Hall

Work is now well and truly underway at our latest project in West Lavington.

With the original house demolished, the team have also cleared the site of overgrown borders and felled a number of trees so we can maximise the views from this fantastic position.

We have also adapted the driveway access from Highstanding Lane, so that there is a wider driveway with very shallow gradient.

All groundworks and drainage are now complete.
