Introduction

…to the eighth annual NappyValleyNet Design & Build Guide.

As always, it’s been a genuine privilege creating this annual.

The team and I have worked with some of the most inspiring local designers, architects, developers and suppliers. We’ve been invited into beautiful homes and uplifting spaces, all within a few square miles of Nappy Valley.

This year we’ll help you to secure your dream home and offer top tips to smooth the planning process. We’ve also got 35 pages of big makeover ideas, 20 pages of hot design trends and a peek inside some very local grand designs. Our updated trade directory makes it even easier to support those suppliers and contractors on your doorstop.

As always, I must thank John Thorogood, Marsh & Parsons, Portico and Rampton Baseley, who regular followers will recognise as our preferred property partners. Their insight and support have
shaped many of the following pages.

Happy reading!

Warmest Wishes
