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.
“"Seems a long time since we finished with the garden room project but we have to say that it has been a huge success in every aspect. The room has become the place of choice for visitors. I can guarantee that everyone, yes everyone who visits, is blown away by the frame."
Mel, Moat Farm
“"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
“"Thank you for the frame that you have just finished at Rogate. It was a miserable wet day, yesterday and John and team carried on regardless. We are delighted with the overall look and also the mouldings to the members. As usual, the frame was millimetre accurate and will be easy to take forward to complete the building."
Bob, 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
“"Thanks for the excellent job which has just been completed on the Oak Frame extension to the above property. Not only is the quality of the work faultless, it is a true work of art, which will bring endless enjoyment to me and my wife. The end result has surpassed our wildest expectations."
