Traditional & Contemporary Styles
Our portfolio includes:
- Traditional cottages with vernacular finishes and historic references
- Contemporary cottages with open-plan interiors and minimal detailing
- Coastal cottages, ideal for exposed plots and sea air
- Woodland and rural retreats that sit softly in the landscape
We blend time-tested materials — oak, lime render, handmade brick, slate — with efficient layouts and modern technologies to ensure every cottage is beautiful, liveable, and lasting.
Features of Our Oak Cottages
- Exposed internal oak frames and traditional roof trusses
- Cosy rooms arranged around a central hearth or stairwell
- Low-energy designs with thick walls and efficient glazing
- Natural materials that weather beautifully over time
- Timeless porches, bay windows, and traditional joinery
Each cottage is made to reflect its setting, whether in the Cotswolds, along the South Downs, or tucked in a Sussex hamlet.
Planning a Cottage Build
From compact single-storey homes to larger family dwellings, we design every oak framed cottage around:
- Your plot, views, and orientation
- Your lifestyle and accessibility needs
- Conservation, AONB or National Park requirements
- Interior layout preferences
We can advise on planning permission, listed settings, and design guidelines to ensure your home is approved — and admired.
