FEATURE MODERN HOMES personalise build designs to suit any modern style with a traditional twist. Historically, oak was used as a building material for sea-faring ships because it hardens with age and exposure to water, which makes it a much better long term investment as a construction material and even more environmentally friendly. We plant two trees for each one we use and we are the only specialists in bringing together historical and modern home designs. Darren continues: “Our customers want flexibility when building an extension and no matter what size or style property, English Heritage Buildings caters to all requirements. Our bespoke design service allows customers to create a dream space and our in-house expert planning team will be on hand at all times to advise, prepare, and submit planning applications.” Pricings depend on the customised design our architectural team create with you from scratch to match your existing home and preferences, but they typically they range from £12,000 to £90,000. 34
