Onwards and going Upwards............

Just recently back from a week in Datca, the house is really coming along now, have a look at latest photos. We have been promised new photo updates every week, so will be able to add these more often as things progress.


Front of the property


Stone work is all done by hand inside and out, with reclaimed timber over the windows and doors.

Inside of Bedroom 1
First floor has wooden floors, you can just see them on this photo. This is looking out from bedroom one to the study at the front of the house.

There is still a lot of work to do, and the main priority now is to get the first floor finished and the roof on to make the property watertight for the winter months. The boundary walls will then be worked on, again using the same stone to match the house.

Need to start thinking about the interior soon, kitchen is going to be made and materials all sourced locally, spoilt for choice with the quality and choice of natural materials available in Turkey.

Our project manager, Serkan knows exactly what we want and is really making the project a pleasure to work with him on.  Before we left Datca to come home, we drove over to Mesudiye, a village about 30 mins drive from Datca, to a villa that Serkan, our builder and project manager had recently just finished,  its called Villa Olivio and it looks lovely, so can't wait to get ours finished ready for our holidays next year.
