Julie & Albert Taylor, Perthshire

Julie and Albert Taylor sold their successful vintners business, and decided to build a new home on the outskirts of a Perthshire village, on a beautiful site they had found. The site had an existing traditional cottage, which was only fit for demolition. Both wanted to replace it with something stylish and memorable, but in keeping with it’s rural location. When they saw the Linwood details, they instantly knew this was just what they wanted.

"We absolutely loved the open plan space and the light" says Julie, "and having the cedar external finish, it looks absolutely beautiful, and we knew it was just right for our site. We used the Majestic as our starting point, and customised it to suit our needs, including a full basement, which is unusual here in Scotland, and an internal annexe for my mother to live".

"Albert project managed the whole build with help and advice from our local dealer, Log & Cedar Homes, and it all went really well. The various trade contractors all commented on the quality and dimensions of the materials, including those out of sight within the structure"

"I still stand in the house, and marvel that we can have this wonderful home. We’re just so proud of the whole thing" said Julie.

"We have not been disappointed in any element of the build: assistance, information and materials."

He became a trusted advisor and ‘idea bouncer’ on many aspects of our self build."

4. How would you describe the information and service provided by Linwood Homes :-
"Despite our house being made on the other side of the world this was not and has not (we have lived here nearly 5 years) been a problem on any level."
