It has always been our dream to build our own house on a vacant plot of land in a town or city.  After three years searching hopelessly for vacant plots in and around Benešov we came across a ‘for sale’ sign behind the window of a terraced house just five minutes from the main square and in one of the few neighbourhoods of Benešov that was left largely unscathed by the urbanistic ravages of the communist era.  A small house for demolition, a stone cellar with a brick vault and a small garden which, together with the neighbouring gardens,  gave the illusion of a large orchard. What more could we have wished for?
