We recently completed this attractive bespoke porch installation at a property in Yarcombe, near Honiton, providing the homeowner with a practical and stylish entrance that enhances the appearance of the property.
Designed to complement the existing character of the home, the porch was carefully constructed using high-quality materials to ensure durability, weather protection, and a seamless finish. The new structure creates a welcoming entrance while offering valuable shelter from the elements and additional security for the property.
The team managed the project from start to finish, paying close attention to every detail to achieve a high standard of workmanship.
The finished porch not only improves the home’s kerb appeal but also adds a functional space that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Interior Finishing & Decoration
The interior of the new porch was completed with a high-quality finish, transforming the space from newly plastered walls to a fully decorated and welcoming entrance area. Warm painted walls were chosen to add character and complement the traditional style of the property, creating a bright yet inviting atmosphere.
A wood-effect tiled floor was installed throughout the porch, providing a durable and practical surface suitable for everyday use.
Completed Entrance
A key feature of this project was the construction of a bespoke entrance porch for this attractive thatched property in Yarcombe, Honiton. Designed to complement the character of the existing cottage, the new porch provides a practical and welcoming entrance while enhancing the overall appearance of the home.
The porch was constructed with a traditional slate roof and timber-clad gable, carefully selected to blend seamlessly with the property’s existing materials and rural setting. New windows and an insulated entrance door were incorporated into the design, improving natural light, energy efficiency, and security while maintaining the building’s traditional charm.
The finished structure has transformed the front elevation, adding both kerb appeal and functionality. By combining traditional materials with modern construction techniques, the porch complements the existing cottage whilst delivering a practical improvement that the homeowners can enjoy for years to come.
Traditional Oak Interior Detailing
A beautifully crafted solid oak window sill and internal stable door provides a warm, natural finish to the porch interior, complementing the painted walls, timber flooring and traditional character of the property.
