Bespoke homes

Bespoke oak frame homes

An oak tree starts as a sapling, sprouting its leaves as it soaks in sunlight, growing into a majestic tree that stands the test of time. This growth is mirrored when designing your frame. Starting with your vision, we shine a light on your ideas and craft them into existence, creating a structure that’s warm, rich and timeless. A home you can’t wait to return to at the end of each day.

Immerse yourself in the charm of a barn, country contemporary, cottage or farmhouse style design and see where your imagination takes you. Take the time to explore our design sketches and floor plans, detailed case studies and captivating photography galleries that showcase our recently built oak frame homes. Let this immersive journey inspire the creation of your own wish list as you embark on your own self-build journey.
