Classic Timber Frame Houses

One of the great things about choosing a Simply Self-Build Classic Home is the freedom you get to change any design to suit your specific site and personal tastes - or to design your self-build timber framed home - either from one of a selection of classic 'kit' house designs or a full design and build project - totally from scratch.

The Elizabethan Range

Consequently our Classic Homes service is directed at those people whose discerning tastes yearn for the quality of life and living environment that our foreign cousins have enjoyed for several centuries.

This means you get the same high quality of engineered timber frame structure as they enjoy, only to an even higher standard of comfort, energy saving, and leisured living.


"Thank you for an excellent service and what I feel is a very good price and specification" Mr Entwistle, SelfBuilder


Choose a standard house design, or design your own from scratch. Order just the design, the frame, or the completed house. Whatever your needs you can select from a menu of products and specialist timberframe services to suit your circumstances. We are just as pleased to provide site survey, architectural and planning services, as we are to deliver a complete kit house, or even build your complete home for you, anywhere in the UK, Channel Islands, Scottish Islands, Isle of Man and Ireland (and some mainland EU locations as well - you can even find our houses as far away as the Falklands!)

The Danish Range

This Classic Homes section presents a brief selection of British Heritage house plans, North American house-plans, Australian house-plans, and Scandinavian house-plans - all designs that have been heavily influenced by UK and other European tastes and ideas.

Western Australia Range

Each example gives floor areas with design and building costs guidelines. Use them to stimulate your own initial thoughts, then send us your rough sketches and a note of your ideas and requirements - or ask for one of our technical representatives to contact you for a no obligation discussion - so that we can help you realise your dream home in the most minute detail.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
