Timber Frame Homes


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

We have lived in the Haute-Vienne for a couple of years now and are thinking of having a new house built. We are in the early stages of researching the idea but would really like to find out more about having a timber frame house. Is there anyone else out there who has already had such a home built, in or around the Limousin area. We have lots of brochures but we would really love to perhaps meet up with someone who has already done it to take a look and pick brains etc - we will happily take those kind people out to dinner by way of thank you.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

If you were interested in a timber framed, straw bale insulated ecologically friendly houses we know a French artisan (who speaks fluent English) who builds them from scratch to whatever stage of completion you want. He has a show house in the Excideuil area. PM me if you want further details.

Thanks to all so far with your replies.

We would like a timber frame house with a brick skin as we still prefer the look of a traditionnal style house. Penny, I'll send you a pm as it might be good for us to see the show home you mention.

Thanks again for info and web-links.

The log house being built near St Leonard must be the house our friends are having constructed - in July they said work would start on it shortly.  They have lived and worked in the area for about 14 years now and he is, himself an excellent builder, renovater, etc.  A firm of specialists are, however, constructing all external walls, etc.  We will be down that way in December for a few days, so may pop round to see what is happening.
