Why I wrote this book

Robin Whitcomb decided to pursue the idea of the book when he discovered the amazing ‘Cliff Cottage’ built in amongst the granite cliffs overlooking the Atlantic in beautiful Lamorna Cove in Cornwall. This pictorial adventure took Robin to a host of unusual homes throughout England and Wales where he captured splendid images of all the locations.

The book is different because it offers the reader the opportunity to experience the amazing diverse locations – not only are the images of each home eye-catching, but there is also the advantage to the reader to have the most clear cut and informative text.

Synopsis

Throughout this book Robin has focussed on contrasting very different types of houses. From traditional historical homes with wonderful views, to eco-houses buried in the earth, Robin has scoured the country looking for the most unique, unusual and awe-inspiring homes to visit. With photographs to illustrate the exterior and interior of the buildings featured, plus accompanying text all about the history and context of the homes included, Robin has captured the character of the varied and eye-opening places that people have chosen to call home. This book is a must for anyone who loves to see how other people live or who has ever wondered - how can you live in a house like THAT!

Reviews

‘How on earth can anyone live in a house like that!?’ Or perhaps, ‘What a fantastically unusual home! How brilliant would it be to live in a place like that!’

Home Sweet Home is a pictorial collection of most unusual homes & locations in England and Wales. People love to see where other people live – especially if it’s very unusual and a bit quirky. Robin Whitcomb’s new book, which took him three years to put together, travelling the length and breadth of England and Wales, focuses on a very wide range of most unusual places where people live.

There is certainly a wide range of varying locations from a family living in a double-decker bus in the Sussex countryside to an ex-hippie who has decided to live in the Welsh mountains in an enormous Tipi. Contrasting this is a focus in on The Chief Yeoman Warder living in his Casemates home within the secure and historic walls and moat of The Tower of London. Then, perhaps the ‘flagship’ location of the whole book and featured on the front cover of Home Sweet Home, is the amazing futuristic ‘Tellytubby house’ looking out to the Atlantic on the Pembrokeshire Cliffs.

Robin’s book not only has beautiful images of all these amazingly unusual homes but there is interesting, informative text to accompany the pictures.
