AT HOME WITH
Owners Lisa Wallace is a reiki practitioner and her husband David is a carpenter. They live here with their sons Louis, 19, and Sebastian, 16, plus poodle Poppy and pomapoo Ralph.
House New build finished in September 2020 with three bedrooms.
It was always our dream to design a house ourselves and build it from the ground up,’ says Lisa Wallace of the beautiful home she and husband David have constructed. For Lisa, it was important to create a calm and unique home that centred around family life, with a work space nearby to give a good work-life balance in her job as a reiki practitioner.
Lisa and David had searched for years for land so that they could fulfil their dream. Eventually in 2019, the perfect plot with planning permission came up for sale down a nearby rural lane and Lisa and David were keen to buy it. They hadn’t sold their house and there were complications and setbacks around the purchase, but eventually it was theirs. They changed the planning application to add a third bedroom and when that was granted in September 2019, it was full steam ahead for the project.
Builders created the breeze block shell of the house and crystals were put in the foundations before the concrete was poured to create the best energy. Lisa wanted to create a home that brought the outside in as much as possible so natural materials were used for wellbeing, including raw wood, while large wrap-around bifold doors open onto beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
