Hi,
I’m Ruth Carroll, a primary school teacher. I live with my partner, David Hale, an estate agent, our son, Hugo, four, and my daughter, Ruby, who’s 16.

Where I live...
Our home is a four-bedroom detached self-build in Bassaleg, Newport. We moved here in November 2016.
I'd like to share our renovation journey on Instagram @homeatfoxfield.
What I wanted to change...
While the original property was beautiful on the outside, it needed so much work that it wasn’t worth saving. The decision was taken to completely demolish and rebuild.
After much discussion with family and friends, we were recommended an experienced building team with a hands-on project manager.
We felt it was important to be in good hands when it came to realising our dream home.
After an initial phone call, we were introduced to Stacey Construction, who stayed with us and guided us through every stage of the project.
We put together a portfolio for the architect, full of pictures and ideas we’d got from holidays, hotels and places we’d visited, though we had to prioritise, because of costs. Top of my wish list was a kitchen-diner with a snug area, but we also included features to add character, such as a chimney breast and log-burner, traditional skirting boards and lots of warm wood and big windows to enjoy the amazing views.
Stacey Construction: We worked in depth with our client to create and build her dream home, that has been beautifully styled by Ruth to ultimately make it into YourHomeStyle magazine.
