English Brothers - Henley House

Henley House is part of English Brothers’ Traditional Builds collection - a showcase of precision-engineered timber frame homes inspired by Britain’s architectural heritage.

Set within landscaped grounds in Henley-on-Thames, this impressive self build by Liina and Kevin Beard shows how classic design and modern construction can work hand in hand.

Influenced by Georgian architecture, the home features high ceilings, large timber windows, and a strong sense of balance and symmetry, creating a property that feels both elegant and welcoming.

Speed, Structure, and Certainty

With previous experience in design, renovation, and project management, the clients felt confident taking on the build themselves. They had already developed their own house design and were looking for a partner who could help bring it to life with a reliable, high-quality structural solution.

English Brothers provided a full architectural and structural package, including the manufacture, delivery, and installation of a bespoke timber frame, made to suit their exact plans.

The timber frame played a key role in keeping the project on track.

Once the foundations were complete, the frame was erected in just three weeks, creating a solid, weather-tight shell ready for the next stages of the build.

From start to finish, the entire home was completed in just 10 months. The fixed-cost nature of the timber frame package also gave the clients confidence in their budget, helping them stay in control throughout the process.

English Brothers gave us confidence from the start. Their attention to detail and understanding of the look we wanted made the process effortless.

Timeless Style with Modern Performance

Inside, the home combines traditional style with modern comfort. Features such as underfloor heating, an air source heat pump for the swimming pool, and EV charging have been carefully integrated without affecting the overall look and feel of the property.

The result is a home that looks timeless but performs to modern standards.

A Smarter Way to Self Build

This project is a great example of what can be achieved with the right planning, experience, and support. For anyone considering a self-build, it highlights how a timber frame system can offer speed, certainty, and quality, while still allowing complete freedom in design.
