Pleasantly surprised by affordability

Having followed the work of Carpenter Oak for several years, Anthony and Darren thought that an oak framed building would be out of their price range. On enquiring about prices they were amazed at what they could fulfill within their budget.

Large glazed panels offer exceptional woodland views.

On visiting Orchard House our modern oak framed home, Anthony and Darren were immediately drawn to the contemporary feel. Carpenter Oak were able to advise on the aspects they wanted to integrate into their own self build.
