The houses here

What Brampton is actually built of.

Brampton is a sandstone market town with a cobbled square, sitting under the line of Hadrian's Wall. The houses in the middle are old and generally listed or in the conservation area, and the country around Talkin and Lanercost is farms and converted agricultural buildings. Both kinds of property have the same characteristic: the room dictates the furniture, not the other way round.

Conservation-area work needs furniture that suits the age of the building without pretending to be older than it is. Hand-painted in-frame cabinets in a quiet colour usually sit better in a Brampton town house than anything with a modern slab door, and a painted finish can be matched to what is already in the room.

Questions from Brampton

Do you work on listed buildings around Brampton?

Yes. Free-standing and fitted furniture both have a place in an older building, and because we make everything ourselves we can work to whatever the building and any consent conditions require rather than to a catalogue of standard sizes.

Will a hand-painted kitchen suit an old sandstone house?

Usually better than anything else. Painted in-frame cabinets have the same lines as the joinery that would originally have been in the house, and the colour is chosen to sit with the stone rather than to stand out against it.
