Luxury Home Builders in Chipping Norton

In the heart of Oxfordshire lies Chipping Norton, the market town filled with stunning 17th-century limestone buildings and luxury homes. At Cranatt Construction, we specialise in design and build for new bespoke luxury homes in Chipping Norton as well as project management for extensions and renovation or restoration for different properties, including listed and heritage buildings.

With over 25 years’ experience, our team combines modern conveniences with traditional stonemasonry and local materials to develop luxury projects across Chipping Norton and the surrounding areas.

Expert House Builders Across Chipping Norton

Our proficiency in historical and luxury construction offers a dependable, informed team for your project. We’ll be with you from beginning to end to ensure the site, supplies and methods are of the highest standard.

We project manage and erect bespoke new-build houses throughout Chipping Norton, in close collaboration with architects and landowners. We’ll employ traditional building techniques and materials to match the era you wish to portray, or we’ll apply our knowledge of luxury features and sustainability to create a modern home that exudes style and uniqueness while still adhering to the classic architecture found throughout the town.

As Chipping Norton’s heritage builders, we offer period home renovations and restorations, meticulously fixing details to preserve listed status. Additionally, we install carefully selected fixtures to enhance the property’s practicality and efficiency without significantly altering its appearance. We work meticulously to fix stonework or restore timber frames as needed because we are committed to preserving the property’s original charm.

It might be difficult to extend a period or heritage property in Chipping Norton, but working with Cranatt, conservation regulations are no obstacle. We work with architects and designers to develop seamless extension designs that complement the original style, including masonry stonework, arched windows and many other features.

Traditional Cotswold Craftsmanship, Modern Construction Standards

Our highly qualified and passionate team of builders and stonemasons are fully trained in both conventional and cutting-edge methods. We combine the two to create beautiful residences across Chipping Norton that adhere to conservation areas and building rules.

Traditional masonry may accentuate a home’s history with meticulous attention to detail and accuracy in each cut. Select ornamental facades, balconettes, stone doors and distinctive roofing elements, and we’ll ensure that these features adhere to safety regulations and are consistent with the construction.
