First-time self-builders Jane and Tim Trounce battled a sloping site on the outskirts of Bath that drops off a cliff (quite literally), plus cowboy builders as well as suppliers running off with their money. But despite all the odds, the resulting home, filled with modern finishes, breathtaking views and eco credentials, more than makes up for all the strife involved.
