Tall Trees House
1 / 5
We are often asked ‘will I get an uplift in value on resale if I spend more building an oak frame?’ This compact 4 bedroom house went on the market and sold for over 1.5 million, indicating that oak frames can bring a high level of saleability to what might otherwise be a rather ordinary dwelling. Note the use of sawn oak cladding for the external elevations. Well executed, the life of such cladding can easily exceed 100 years.
Beamed ceilings give make for a beautiful farmhouse style kitchen. The ‘unfitted’ island unit and Aga add to the homeliness making a great family gathering space.
The spacious and elegant kitchen is open plan to the entrance hall and dining area and has long views through to the lounge beyond. Having a conservatory style glazed area makes for a well lit interior.
Over the stairwell the rafters have been supplied in oak and glazed with a ‘Vitral’ patent glazing system to bring light into the hall and landing. Note the whole panel of each roof light is openable.
Oak frame drawings are available for this and many other of our schemes. If you are interested in building something similar talk to us, we are here to help and your initial meeting is free from obligation or expense.
“"We have constructed several buildings using Oak frames designed, manufactured and erected by the Green Oak Carpentry Company. We are pleased to confirm that their work is accurate, well detailed and delivered on time. They are knowledgeable and we find working with them easy and straight forward. We therefore have no hesitation in recommending them."
Robert, Trembath Associates
“"We wanted to write to you to express our profound gratitude for the excellent work you have done on our building scheme. It cannot have been easy to pick up the project from another architect when there were still a number of issues unresolved, but you have done so brilliantly and remained calm throughout, even at fraught times. We really do appreciate that you have gone the extra mile for us. We have all enjoyed working with you and have been so impressed with the quality of your work."
Alastair, The Early Years Project
“"Just a quick note to say thank you for sending such a great team to do the work. As well as clearly being very hardworking and hugely skilled, Mick, Andy, Clark and Dave were all exceptionally pleasant, considerate and cheerful guys to have around, and as such a huge credit to Green Oak."
Julia, Crabfields Farm
“"I wanted to drop you a quick note to show my appreciation for your guys efforts today; they were a pleasure to have around the house and worked hard to get the frame up today."
Paul, Contracts Manager
