The Ampleforth ~ Garage & Outdoor Dining

As times change, it seems now as if entertaining at home is becoming the new ‘Dining Out’, you take turns going out for dinner at friends’ homes. Therefore because of this, it’s time for you to make sure that you are taking full advantage of every square inch of the space you have available to you outside and do what you can to ensure that your outside space is increasingly popular and comfortable to spend time. As this can be an ideal place for you to sit out in during the summer months.

The Ampleforth Design is very a versatile and flexible design that could be used as an additional area as part of any swimming pool or tennis court entertainment area that you may already have within your home. Perhaps it could even be used as a combination building for garage and storage.

Below we have the overall plans and design of the Ampleforth, enabling you to get a greater understanding of what this design is and how it might fit into your home. 

Our Testimonials

Oak Designs managed the entire process for us from design, through planning, tree survey and protection plan, groundworks, build and landscaping. The process was seamless and the teams highly professional, friendly and immaculately tidy at all stages of the work. We received very helpful design advice throughout and we’re very happy with the end result. Apparently our house is now pointed out by neighbours as ‘the one with the lovely garage’ and ‘garage envy’ has also been mentioned. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Oak Designs.

The team designed and built the frame for our Gazebo for us. They were really helpful in getting the dimensions correct and reducing the height of the roof so that we didn’t have to get planning permission. It was all put up in one day with a large team who were fantastic on-site and very respectful of our neighbours.

Georgina Attfield

Steve and his team were very helpful from the start and provided me with a sketch of the non-standard barn I needed. A quick turn around on the quote was provided even when I kept changing the design – and it also ended up being one of the most competitive as well.

The team designed and built the frame for our Gazebo for us. They were really helpful in getting the dimensions correct and reducing the height of the roof so that we didn’t have to get planning permission. It was all put up in one day with a large team who were fantastic on-site and very respectful of our neighbours. They travelled a fair distance to us, so we are using a local builder to do the foundations, roofing and patio and they were able to supply them with all the details needed to get things correct.

Georgina Attfield

We wanted to build an oak frame building that complimented our grade II listed house. Steve & Rupert were absolutely brilliant. They helped us design the structure from top to bottom, and the build process was effortless. The thought and time that went into helping us get exactly what we wanted made what would ordinarily have been a stressful process very easy. The quality of the building is excellent, and it fits in perfectly to its surroundings. I can’t recommend them highly enough, thank you guys!
