A beautiful variation on our classic Pearmain Cottage design & concept, first invented by John Greene (our founder) for Border Oak in 2001.
Pearmain Cottage came about thanks to a planning issue that Johnโ€™s daughter Merry (and son in law Ben) encountered on their very first plot as a newly married couple. The local authority were refusing to consider an oak framed design and so John (who had already discovered a new product called SIPs on a trip to America and had just built his new office from as the first ever UK SIPs structure) worked with his close collaborator, Darren (Border Oaks lead architect) to create a vernacular lime rendered cottage where the oak structural frame would be hidden within the house. Only the oak porch (designed by John for Merry & Ben) would give a hint of what could be found within.
Planning was finally granted and Pearmain Cottage was filmed for Grand Designs, broadcast in 2003.
To say we were unprepared for the response to the cottage and the porch is an understatement!
So many Pearmain variations have been commissioned and built across the UK and abroad since, it remains our most popular portfolio. It is adaptable and versatile- each one is different - and suits render, brick, stone or timber cladding.
These photos are of a lovely cottage we built several years ago, inspired by the original but with larger bays, and two additional sections added to increase the floor area.
The Perfect Pearmain

KENT OPEN DAY
We would love to invite you to visit our new cottage project in Horsmonden, Nr Tunbridge Wells, Kent on 11th October.
We are nearing completion of this bespoke 4 bedroom cottage - based on our Pearmain Cottage design - and built by us on a great plot in a fabulous village. The cottage will be going on the market shortly, but we are opening the doors to prospective purchasers (and those looking into building with us) for an informal pre view on Saturday 11th October. A great opportunity to see a Border Oak home in the final stages of completion, and get a feel for what we do and to ask the team what is possible.
Also a very very rare chance to buy a completed Border Oak home from Border Oak - built to our very high standards, with a wonderful oak frame, hand made kitchen, PV panels, Air source heat pump, limestone and oak floors etc plus large outbuilding with room above.
Email [email protected] to book your place on the Open Day on 11th October, or to ask questions beforehand. More photos to follow!

Small barns, bothies & cabins
Adding a beautiful building to the grounds of an existing home is a clever way of creating extra space, adding value and adaptability but also future proofing homes for multi generational living and mixed use. Clients have previously created ancillary accommodation, home offices, art studios, party barns, holiday lets and exhibition space - the beauty of an annexed outbuilding is that it can be many things, all at once or change and adapt as needed.
This beautiful barn sits next to an extraordinary Border Oak built country house, so the materials and scale were conceived to suit its location but also offer independent space that could meet many needs over time.
If you have an annex, cabin, barn or bothy project in mind - large or small - do get in touch to see how we can help.
