Bespoke Timber Gates with Traditional Victorian-Inspired Detailing

These homeowners were looking to improve both privacy and security at their period property, while still keeping everything in harmony with the home’s traditional brickwork and Victorian character. They approached Old English Doors for a set of bespoke timber gates that would feel robust, refined, and perfectly suited to the architecture. The team designed and crafted a suite of handcrafted entrance and side gates, each built in durable hardwood and finished in a deep, elegant black that complements the property’s original red brick beautifully.

Every element was purpose-made; from the vertical panelling and traditional bracing to the inset letterbox, security features, and matching pedestrian gate. The result is an understated yet impressive entranceway that boosts security and enhances the home’s curb appeal.

“The craftsmanship is outstanding,” the homeowners shared with us. “We wanted something strong and sympathetic to the house, and Old English Doors delivered exactly that.” It is the kind of project the team is known for: blending traditional workmanship with practical, thoughtful design to create an entrance that is built to last and looks right at home.
