The Anderson family have lived in a delightful stone built house dating to 1878 for the past 10 years, situated in picturesque grounds next to a church within a conservation area. “We inherited a rather glum white uPVC door when we moved into the house, which was out of keeping with both the style and period of the property” explains Mr Anderson. “My wife had always very keenly wanted to change the door, whilst I was in less of a hurry to do so, holding the opinion that ‘a door’s a door’ and was also concerned that trying to fit a new one in the unusually large and shaped opening was going to be a bother.”
Following a visit to our Harewood showroom, Mr and Mrs Anderson decided on our Chadlington solid wood door finished in ‘Oxford Blue’ outside. Internally, they opted for the lighter, and more subtle shade of ’Straw’. The Gothic arched fanlight above the door provides light into the hallway through the obscured Kathedral glass. “The door had to be high quality, good appearance, secure and solid – this ticks all the boxes”. A brass letter plate and Chatsworth handle along with a weighty Doctor’s knocker complete the
desired look.Mr Anderson explains his concerns around the installation process, “I couldn’t help feeling nervous about the fitting and this was one of the reasons I’d put off having it changed all this time but having dealt with the team at Timber Windows I had great confidence in their ability to fit it well; the process was extremely quick, absolutely stress-free and the frame fitted the opening like a glove – it was a truly excellent experience.”

“Overall, we are delighted with the door; it hangs well and operates beautifully. I really do appreciate the difference and that a door most definitely isn’t just a door – we love it – only when you make the change do you realise”
