More and more homeowners are choosing to extend their homes with oak frame extensions to make the most of their existing homes without the hassle of moving. An oak frame extension can be designed to complement the style of an existing building or offer something in contrast. Typically, they feature large areas of glazing, open plan spaces with vaulted ceilings and beautifully crafted roof trusses, arching over the spaces within.

Why Choose an Oak Framed Extension?
Oak extensions are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to elevate the look of their property to modernise or simply to create an additional living space! Many opt for oak frames because they blend well with traditional and modern architectural styles, creating a versatile and characterful space that compliments the home’s aesthetic.
Oak’s natural ageing adds beauty and value over time, while large areas of glazing are often used to bring in natural light and create a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
Oak is also an eco-friendly choice, as it locks in carbon over its lifetime and is sourced from certified forests.
In many cases, oak framed extensions can be built under “ permitted development rights,” which means you might not need full planning permission. However, we highly recommend verifying this with your local council, as restrictions can apply, particularly if your home is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, or conservation.
Designing the Perfect Oak Frame Extension for Your Home
An oak framed house extension, also known as a ‘garden room,’ can add value and functionality to your residential property. Many of the examples in our portfolio gallery open up views to the garden and landscape, creating an inviting outlook and seamlessly bringing the garden into the home.
All of our projects are carefully coordinated with the architect’s plans to ensure they integrate with the existing building fabric and any new construction work. We also pay close attention to ensuring strong thermal and weather performance over time. We are here to discuss your ideas for your project and will work hard to achieve your vision and budget.
Upper Green Farm, one of our proudest oak framed extension projects, features a contemporary-style frame, while Moat Farm showcases a more traditional approach with oak rafters, a full complement of oak studs, and an arched collar-braced truss. Each detail, from the exposed beams to handcrafted doors and insulated walls, plays a part in the final aesthetic and energy performance of your extension.
