Basement or swimming pool?

Basement or swimming pool?

Posted by Fay Plumb on 23rd September 2009

Blog 3a  For the last two weeks the diggers have been hard at it - excavating the basement, through soil, brash and rock.  Whilst to some it looks like we are digging a swimming pool, underground car park or even for Australia, it is in fact a 10.59m long x 4.55m wide basement, extending approximately 2m wider at the rear.  However, the hole itself is currently around 24m x 8.5m and 4m deep, and is not complete.

Fay and her husband are taking on a new-build next door to their grade II thatched cottage. They want to achieve the ‘normal height’ rooms they are lacking presently and make the most of the surrounding views. Their plans for a basement will also create the extra space they desperately want.
