An oak frame farmhouse conservatory in North Yorkshire

Having worked together to craft an oak frame carport at their previous property, Phil and Lucy approached our teams for a second time to extend their Northamptonshire Grade II listed home with an oak frame garden room.

A second oak frame collaboration

“We felt we knew Oakwrights,” explains Phil. “We saw the design potential of using green oak to complement our Grade II listed home and liked the sympathetic design of the extension our Regional Design Consultant, George, proposed.”

A sympathetic, stylish and spacious addition

Admiring Phil and Lucy’s extension from their garden, it appears as if it has been part of their home for years. Careful attention was paid to coordinating their extension’s stone brick plinth with their home’s bricks, and their warming tones harmonise with the oak’s golden hues. Likewise, its 35o roof pitch was also centred around their period property, and more specifically, the triple casement window sat just above its highest point, safeguarding their first storey views. Stepping inside their extension, your eyes wander to its vaulted ceiling, comprising chunky king post oak trusses at either end, with a stunning chandelier suspended in between. A full-width cut-through between Phil and Lucy’s existing kitchen and their new space grants a seamless flow between the two, reinforced by the identical flooring laid throughout. And despite the shaded position Phil and Lucy chose, the roof lights, framed face glazed gable end and large glazed French doors welcome in the sun from every angle.

“We use the room all year round. It is a light-filled, insulated living space and a fantastic area for entertaining, with views and access out onto our garden, offering a real indoor-outdoor feel,”
