A message from Tim
Building a home is a truly personal experience; it is one that inspires you to consider the present and your aspirations for the future. At Oakwrights, each home we design and create here in Herefordshire, where the roots of our heritage stem from, is a representation of how our in-house Architects and Designers work with our Craftsmen and Site teams, to construct award-winning oak frame homes, extensions and outbuildings that are sympathetic to their surroundings and meet our clients’ exact needs.
It is the combination of our oak framing expertise and familiarity of Herefordshire, which has founded the concept of Church View.
