The Gables is a stunning new self build house set amongst the rolling countryside of Ware, Hertfordshire surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens complete with a one hundred year old olive tree which comes in handy for the martinis the owners Jos and Jane mix in their own unique cocktail bar.
No expense has been spared for this “forever home” and when it came to the windows and doors, the couple knew they wanted timber, high performance, bespoke windows and doors that would last a lifetime and look amazing alongside their handmade bricks and roof tiles. Following a visit to George Barnsdale’s Lincolnshire factory to see first hand how the windows would be made, the couple were so impressed, they placed an order for 21 casement windows, 8 sets of French doors, 3 entrance doors and a sliding door for the master bedroom to allow access to their balcony. All are dual colour white inside and colour on the outside. Three of the windows in the kitchen have striking angles whilst across the hall, the elegant French doors in the cocktail bar are ideal for opening out onto one of the garden terraces on a warm summer’s evening whilst sipping cocktails.
All products are Secured by Design, made from FSC certified timber and kind to the environment. The unique four stage paint technique means George Barnsdale windows and doors won’t require repainting for at least ten years, but usually considerably longer than that.
