HOME NOTES
WHO LIVES HERE?
Sue Caldwell, a retired designer, lives here with her husband. The house is used for location shoots and she documents her interiors on @talltrees.and.scandidreams.
THE PROPERTY
A three-bedroom, Scandinavian-inspired detached new build in Shropshire, with an open-plan kitchen and living space.
THE LAYOUT
The double-height hallway leads to an open-plan L-shaped living/dining area and kitchen, with utility room. Upstairs is a galleried landing, three bedrooms and two bathrooms; the main bedroom has a dressing room and en suite. A living room on the first floor has views of the Shropshire hills.
Seven years ago, Sue Caldwell and her husband moved to Shropshire and bought a 1980s bungalow, with the aim of knocking it down to build their dream home. As Sue reveals, the project was a hundred times harder than she thought it would be, but she is rightly proud of what they have achieved.
