  • Two years ago we published the very first NappyValleyNet Design & Build Guide.

    Our aim was to produce an inspiring, yet local guide packed full of insight and knowledge to empower you to create gorgeous living spaces in our wonderful corner of London.
    And now I find myself writing the introduction to the 2018 guide – something I could only have dreamed of back in 2016!This year’s guide is, yet again, bigger and (I hope you’ll agree) better than previous years.

    The political slings and arrows may have added to our urge to stay put and improve rather than move as the amount of digging, extending, rebuilding and redesigning has not abated. You will find all the ideas and inspiration to turn these dreams of improvement into your very own reality.I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the businesses and individuals who have contributed. Their expertise, advice and support have been invaluable.Finally, thank you to Marsh & Parsons, Portico and Rampton Baseley, who regular followers will recognise as our long term property partners. Their insight and local knowledge has shaped a great number of the following pages. As ever, do please let us know how we might improve in 2019, and in the meantime, enjoy!

    Warmest Wishes
