RETIREMENT BECKONS

Our last house leaves the factory on 23 February 2026 and then we shall be tidying up the yard and buildings and Timber Frame Design & Build will be no more.   It has been a blast and everyone here has thoroughly enjoyed helping myriad clients create the home of their dreams. 

The website will remain live until the last of us leaves the building.  Thank you for reading our website over the years and good luck with building whatever it is that you want to build. 

Timber frame is a great way of building - just make sure the groundworks are level and true, the panels are square; whoever erects it knows how to follow the structural requirements and use a level to keep it vertical and you will be warm, safe and comfy for a lifetime.

Def: Outbuilding: noun - a smaller separate building that belongs to a main building

We can design and build ancillary buildings in your grounds such as a summer house, garden room, garage, workshop, granny annexe, stables. 

Some of these require planning permission, but with the recent changes to the planning laws, if you stick within certain measurements, many don't. 

We believe that the same level of integrity that we apply to your home should be applied to the outbuildings that surround it.  This means that the level of comfort that you expect in your home can be extended to the outbuildings and thus make them more useful, "user friendly" and available for all year round use.

This means your garden room can readily double up as your office or extra accommodation for visiting friends and family.  And insulated stables make life far more comfortable in both winter and summer for your pony and for you whilst you maintain tack and prepare your pal for the show ring.

For the self builder living on site, one of our outbuildings could prove to be a far more comfortable residence than a temporary mobile home.
