Jack & Hannah
Priced out of the housing market, self-build is the only way Jack and Hannah can afford to get on the housing ladder. Graven Hill presents them with more options than they could have ever imagined.
Jack, a quantity surveyor, and Hannah, a primary school teacher, have moved to Bicester to live with Jack’s mum to save money whilst they build at Graven Hill. Moving from a compact house on a new-build estate, this pair are searching for a home full of personality. Inspired by their new surroundings, they are designing their home around their rural dream.
Having been priced out of buying in their area, self-build is the only way the couple can afford to get on the housing ladder and the choice of plots available on Graven Hill made this possible.
Not only has Jack designed the house himself, he plans to build it himself. They’ve cleverly chosen materials and processes that Jack can do himself – and as a resourceful scavenger, he’s able to source materials that would otherwise end up in landfill.
It will be hard work, but ultimately will save them a fortune on labour. However, it will also create a huge demand on Jack’s time and energy. What could possibly go wrong?
