Bespoke Oak Buildings in Kent

Oak garden rooms and garages for Kent homes

Kent's oast houses, Wealden architecture, suburban homes and rural plots create a wide range of settings for oak-framed additions. Southern Oak designs garden rooms, glazed oak spaces, garages and gazebos around the individual property and intended use.

Brick, tile, weatherboarding and historic timber-framed properties across Kent can call for very different roof forms and details. Each frame is designed around the existing home, produced through our specialist sawmill partner and installed by experienced specialist teams where installation is included.

Our Services

Oak framed buildings we build in Kent

Every project is designed around your home, your plot and your planning position.

Planning in Kent

Local planning considerations

The Kent Downs and High Weald National Landscapes cover substantial parts of the county and can add landscape and design considerations. Planning applications are determined by the relevant local planning authority, with Medway operating separately from Kent's district and borough councils. Conservation areas, listed status and property-specific restrictions can also affect permitted-development rights.
