Samwell House

Samwell House is a carefully crafted oak-framed extension project in the Blackdown Hills, designed to unify two separate buildings and transform underused patio and conservatory space into a modern, open-plan living environment. Featuring a bespoke glulam oak frame by Carpenter Oak and extensive glazing, the extension frames sweeping countryside views and creates a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. This thoughtful design enhances the home’s functionality, spatial quality, and long-term value, offering a more connected and uplifting way of living in harmony with the landscape.
