Built and completed in 2025, Whistle Stop Cottages have been thoughtfully designed to blend in with their central village surroundings. Offering a choice of internal layout to suit, one cottage is open plan whilst the other follows a more traditional format. Both properties feature underfloor heating downstairs (with radiator heating upstairs) via an air source heat pump, plus also have photo-voltaic solar panels on the roof, and EV charging in the parking area.

In this instance, the property has an open-plan ground floor. Access is via a footpath to the side, which leads to the front door. There is a stylish fitted kitchen with space for dining, plus, to the rear aspect, a well-proportioned sitting room with French windows out to the rear garden. There is a downstairs cloakroom and stairs to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms (both with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom fitted with a contemporary suite.

Outside, there is a rear garden which is mostly laid to lawn, and driveway parking at the front.

C&G Building Contractors have started clearing a site for a new residential development at Evelegh Road in Farlington, Portsmouth. Amendments to the existing design are currently being finalised with the architect and the local planning department. This sought after location on Portsdown Hill provides a South facing panoramic vista across both Portsmouth Harbour and Langstone Harbour which are to be harnessed within the design. Works on site are anticipated to complete in early summer 2019.

C&G have started work on a new build home for a private developer in Havant, Hampshire. The two bedroom end-of-terrace house will provide comfortable family accommodation with the advantage of a good size garden. Due to the location of the project C&G have had to take a sympathetic approach to the construction process given the proximity of the neighbouring properties. The project is expected to complete in October 2018 ready for sale on the open market.

Please contact us with any project enquires.

C&G Building Contractors have been employed once again by The Limewood Group and Home Grown Hotels to carry out the refurbishment of a storage facility.

Both the external Sto-rend render system and hard landscaping are now complete despite the recent weeks of extreme weather.

Managing Director Keith Hellyer commented, “We always endeavour to keep to our high standards of workmanship which has shown through on this ‘Grand Designs’ style project despite the large number of specialist items incorporated within the design. The project has created a number of new challenges which both the C&G team and our sub-contractors have overcome through effective cooperation and resolution.”

Final second fix works are scheduled to start once the specialist windows have been installed which are currently in the manufacturing phase.
