Georgian self-build features Mumford & Wood
A classic self-build house situated in a beautiful Cornish valley has been constructed to replicate an original Georgian property. Every element of the design – from the pavilions, curved walls and overall proportions – have been designed and built to a specific mathematical formula to which everything conforms.
Materials of exceptional quality have been used throughout every aspect of the house design and construction, just as though it had been built in the 1700s. The Georgian-style sash windows from the Conservation™ range were architecturally specified, designed and made-to-order by Mumford & Wood to traditional proportions that conform to the established Georgian formula.
Our high performance timber sliding sash windows and door sets are double glazed to meet the requirements of current Part L Building Regulations. Our specialist tooling allows re-production of elegant and slender glazing bars while capable of incorporating double glazed units, although single glazed options are available when planning restrictions dictate. The windows are operated with pre-stretched nylon cords with traditional sash weights and heavy duty brass pulley wheels. A spring balance alternative is also available.
“I built this dramatic house to a very high standard and the windows were a bit of an extravagance but they are bespoke and nothing else would do,” says owner and self-builder Dave Webber.
