Bespoke Handmade Houses

Tudor Inn

The Tudor Inn shown is handmade from 9mm plywood with hardwood for the windows and doors. The external walls are finished with a realistic brick herringbone finish which gives the looks and texture of real brick. Brick was very expensive in Tudor times so was often used as a way for people to show off “their” wealth. The area around the outside of the Inn is cobbled and is done with miniature cobbles cut from real stone to give an authentic effect!  The windows can be made with “glass” or as ventilators and varying sizes and styles such as oriole depending on personal preferences.

The front panels (doors) on the model pictured are lift off or slide and lift which gives a secure fit but with no hinges on view to detract  from the look of the house when displayed. This feature enables the doors to be left off to display the interior or to allow unhindered access to work on the interior design. Hinges can also be fitted for those who prefer.

The house shown has three individual rooms and two adjoined via an archway leaving the option for a bar and seating area on the ground floor. Features wooden beams on the ceilings or exposed roof support timber framework in the roof spaces. Two sets of open tread stairs, typical of the period, one internal door and one archway provide access to all the rooms from the front door. The interior walls can be painted and supporting beams can be added, as well as traditional fireplaces,  to suit personal preferences.

Houses can be supplied at various stages of build depending on how much or how little you wish to do yourself, from built and completely unfinished (although we are normally requested to complete the exterior) to completely finished inside and out and only requiring furnishings.
