There is a new house being built in the Baring Cross area of North Little Rock. The shotgun-style home will be a little more than 1,200 square feet, have three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a nice porch. Construction was planned to start by the end of this month. But it's not just any house. It's being built by Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas, the local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, the largest nonprofit home-builder in the world, according to its website. And this home is the first that will utilize new interior and exterior plans designed by Williams & Dean Architecture | Interior Design in Little Rock.

Her goal, she says, was to "improve everything," which included home design. "Our floor plans are quite functional and very efficient, but we've been using the ...

Whether you imagine yourself tucked away in the mountains, perched beside a peaceful lake, or settled on a sandy beach, a versatile A-frame home offers a unique way to experience your desired destination.

The Grade II listed home, dating from 1742, has been sympathetically restored over the years. Set in the quintessential English village of Shere, fans of the festive film will be sure to recognise the surroundings as the home where Kate Winslet's character Iris lived (the real film cottage doesn't actually exist).
