Nice job Tpin I've built quite a few like that myself, although personally my style is more glass and steel than this old fashioned manorial style, but to each his own I guess. .
When people mention 'new build' I tend to shudder and, like Julie, have a mental image of little boxes with tiny gardens and no proper fencing at the front.
