Over
the decades W G Carter Limited has built
a great many individual new detached homes
in local villages. They are all, as would
be expected, of a high quality and practical,
often innovative design.
Country
Home
This
house was a new build project designed to
provide a substantial additional home in
keeping with its surroundings on a family-owned
country estate.
Eco
Friendly Home

We
have recently completed a new build project
which was both very exciting and unusual
from the start. An old stone bothy was demolished
and the natural stone from the building
and garden walling used in the construction
of a striking new home on the same site.
As well as sizeable accommodation, the eco
friendly features of this unique property
include
Solar
panels to supplement the heating system

is fed back into the national grid)
