Having worked with this young family on this modest sized bungalow near Ashford in Kent over the past ten years, including installing all the windows and carrying out re-shingling work to several elevations, in the late Autumn of 2025, planning approval was granted, building regs followed and the foundation was completed during Summer 2026.

An engineered block and beam foundation was completed by our Colt approved ground works contractor, whilst the few timber-frame wall panels required were pre-manufactured in readiness for erection.

The extension was completed in just over five weeks, boasting our signature Western Red cedar wood shingles, all lovingly fixed under a tiled roof, together with two A rated white uPVC double glazed windows.

With a close boundary to consider, this 2 metre x 3.6metre gable-end bedroom extension will provide that much needed bedroom space for a growing family.

The original owners of this family bungalow on the Isle of Mull were adamant that nothing less than their very own cedar-clad luxury garden store and workshop would suffice, creating a building worthy of standing proudly alongside their beautiful coastal home.

Our small team of skilled craftsmen manufactured the wall panels in our workshop, allowing for straightforward on-site assembly, before receiving the external cladding.  The shallow-pitched roof has been carefully designed to comfortably accommodate traditional Western Red Cedar shingles, creating a timeless and attractive appearance.

Beautifully crafted cedar doors will grace the front elevation, complementing the natural materials used throughout the structure.  We look forward to seeing the building successfully completed and are confident it will provide many years of practical use and enjoyment.

We are pleased to share a selection of photographs illustrating the manufacture and progress of the project to accompany this description.

Whilst we are not fortunate enough to be undertaking the erection of the building ourselves, we are delighted to have been entrusted with its design and manufacture.  Constructed using quality materials and traditional timber-frame principles, the structure has been carefully prepared for assembly on site with detailed instructions.

We are confident that the homeowners will successfully oversee the erection and completion of the building and we look forward to seeing this impressive cedar-clad structure take its place within such a stunning setting on the Isle of Mull.

New cedar shingles were fixed over Tyvek and battens on two elevations of this Kentish Colt bungalow and finished with a coat of T22 oil, resulting in many years of protection and longevity of this stunning wood.
