"For Marian and John Nash, the dream of owning an oak-frame home began over 40 years ago - that's when they came across a brochure on homebuilding and were captivated by an open-plan bungalow that featured in it. "We always kept that and said to each other that one day we'd build an oak-frame home that felt just as special," says Marian. "The oakwork in it had been done by Carpenter Oak, so when the time came, we naturally approached them with a view to them doing the same for us." The first stage of the process was meeting up with the company's architect, Ben Hancock-Parr, and it was only when explaining their must-haves for the house, that they realised their tastes had changed since their original oak-frame infatuation."

Marian and John Nash dreamed of owning an oak-frame home for over 40 years after seeing a brochure featuring an open-plan bungalow. The couple kept the brochure and planned to build an oak-frame house inspired by that design. The oakwork on the brochure example had been completed by Carpenter Oak, so the couple approached the same company when they were ready to build. The first stage involved meeting Carpenter Oak's architect, Ben Hancock-Parr. While explaining their must-haves they realised their tastes had evolved since their original oak-frame infatuation. The completed chalet bungalow in Frinton-on-Sea has a 249 sq m external floor area, was built in 11 months and cost £700,000 excluding landscaping.
