With a story behind every piece of timber, the Gregory’s chose Coppice & Crown Classic Oak flooring to give their renovation project warmth and meaning.
Braunton, in the heart of North Devon’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), is also the home of Zoe and Richard and their 14 year old son Isaac. With our Classic Oak flooring fitted in two rooms across the ground floor, we were keen to peek inside. The powerful purple front door of their Georgian home on South Street welcomes you in from the relaxed coastal village. Having fallen in love with the house on their first visit, they spend most of their time working and renovating the house to create a beautiful living space which includes our natural wood flooring.
The couple have used Coppice & Crown’s British wood throughout the property. All the shelving and worktops are sourced from the workshop here at Coppice & Crown. They have used Classic Oak flooring in their sitting and dining rooms.
Zoe and Richard spoke directly to Tom Bedford at Coppice & Crown and requested that they would prefer to have narrower Classic Oak wood flooring, rather than the wide boards that Coppice & Crown are renowned for. Coppice & Crown was able to provide the couple with boards of 3” and 4” widths to meet their brief.
Over the hall from the dining room, where Zoe and Richard have also chosen to use Coppice & Crown’s Classic Oak wood flooring, is the sitting room, a place to relax and unwind, with gentle reminders of the home’s proximity to the coast. They have stained the boards a light colour, giving an appearance similar to that of driftwood.
The room is simple and quiet, with light coloured sofas and a wood burning stove to enjoy the room in the darker winter months. Again, narrower boards have been used in this room, adding to its slight nautical feel.
The use of Coppice & Crown’s Classic Oak wood flooring through this property has given something back to the impressive building on South Street, marking it different to the other houses on the street, and giving something to the home and family that will last for generations to come.
