We have been thinking of getting a bigger house for some time now. Our main thought was that we didn't want to move out of the area. With the house prices continuously rising, it was going to be difficult to find the perfect house, at the right price. It was then (some 10 years ago) that we started to think about staying where we were, and knocking our house down and then building one. After many years of just thinking of it as a dream - we have finally bitten the bullet and decided to do it. Our thoughts, why wait...everything is only going to get more expensive, might as well start paying it off now.
So we started looking at display homes and asking questions. After an extensive search, and driving all over Adelaide - we came across the Tusmore by Statesman Homes. It seemed to fit the bill OK, however we would have to modify it a bit so that it would fit. We have a decent sized block (640sq) but desperately wanted to retain our shed. (and the 18+ years worth of stuff in it) It was then that this nice Statesman bloke told us about some new designs that were just being released. (he doesn't work for Statesman anymore - which we found out just 3 weeks later)
The 'Delamere' worked really well, we didn't have to chop it and it fit perfectly, leaving enough room down one side of the house for our good old caravan.
