White Barn
A classic fusion of New England and Old England with white timber cladding externally and exposed green oak frame internally.
This new timber frame house in Cambridgeshire was the dream house for our client, who traveled to Boston in the US often and admired the clapboard houses they saw there.
In some areas white painted timber sits alongside exposed oak beams and creates a fresh, light interior.
Exposed wooden floorboards also provide visual warmth to the interiors with underfloor heating providing real warmth to the rooms.
Much of the interior fit-out was undertaken by local craftsmen and bespoke to suit our client’s exact specifications.
The house sits wonderfully in the mature garden and covered entrances and verandahs provide useful areas for taking boots off or just sitting to contemplate the day.
