Oxfordshire Cottage
Oxfordshire Cottage
A modern cottage on the outskirts of Oxford, thoughtfully reimagined with to bring cohesion, warmth and a character that remains true to the home’s original charm
Set within a quiet rural pocket just beyond the city, this cottage already had charm, but the interior lacked the flow and crafted detail the client hoped for. The brief called for us to bring a sense of continuity between spaces, deepen the link to the courtyard, and introduce pieces that feel grounded in the building’s story.

External doors designed to celebrate the courtyard and enhance the home’s natural character
The clients were keen to make the most of their beautiful courtyard, selecting two Fendral doors; one glazed to draw in light and one fully oak to give the space a sense of grounding. Timber choice was central to the design, and we purposefully selected figured, quartersawn oak boards to showcase the richness and movement of the grain across the façade. Both doors were finished with bespoke blacksmith made ironwork, adding a tactile, handcrafted detail that complements the cottage’s understated character.
To add a personal touch, our carving team translated the clients visions and etched the children’s initials into the oak inside the front door’s drop handle.

Internal doors tailored to each room, each one enriched with craftsmanship that adds depth and identity throughout the home
For the interior, the Oswold proved the perfect door choice; a design that sits comfortably within the cottage’s character while offering the refinement the clients were looking for. Each door was adapted to suit its specific location, including one for the kitchen that, while visually identical to the others, was engineered to meet fire regulations. All were completed with tailored ironmongery to ensure a consistent, considered finish throughout.

Old houses often present challenges, and this cottage was no exception
The most complex issue involved two identical doors positioned side by side, separated by a structural beam. Treating them as two independent doors would have disrupted the visual harmony of the space.
Our solution was to design and make the pair as one cohesive composition, then clad the beam so it visually belonged to the joinery. The result was a clean, unified elevation that felt intentional rather than compromised.

A cottage enriched with crafted joinery, balancing modern comfort with a sense of place
This project reflects the value of thoughtful, well-integrated joinery in shaping the character of a home. By combining carefully selected materials, personalised details and solutions tailored to the irregularities of older buildings, the cottage now has a renewed sense of flow and identity, one that honours its past while supporting the way the family lives today.
