Wooden Doors In Mapperley — Bespoke Timber by Old English Doors

Mapperley sits on elevated ground northeast of Nottingham city centre, and its residential streets reflect the prosperity of the families who built them — Edwardian semis with generous bay windows, 1920s houses with Arts and Crafts detailing, and stretches of Victorian terrace that anchor the older parts of the suburb. It is an area with real architectural range, and that range matters when it comes to choosing the right door.

Old English Doors designs, manufactures, and installs bespoke timber doors, windows, stained glass, gates, and porches for period and character homes across Mapperley and the wider NG3 area.

What Makes Mapperley's Housing Stock Distinctive

Mapperley's Edwardian and 1920s housing — particularly along the higher ground closer to Mapperley Plains — was built with more space and more architectural ambition than the Victorian terraces lower down. Front doors on these properties tend to be wider, taller, and more complex — with larger glazed panels, bolder panel configurations, and entrance surrounds that deserve a door made to the same scale and quality as the rest of the house.

A bespoke timber door designed for a Mapperley Edwardian semi is a different object from one designed for a Victorian terrace in a different part of the city. The proportions, the moulding depth, the glazing arrangement — all of it changes. We design every door from scratch for the specific property it serves.

Our Services for Mapperley Homes

Bespoke Wooden Front Doors

For Mapperley's Edwardian semis and 1920s houses, we offer Edwardian doors, 1920s doors, Arts and Crafts doors, and traditional doors — all made to measure from premium hardwood. For Victorian properties in the lower parts of the suburb, our Victorian doors are made with the same precision. View all doors →

Wooden Windows

The sash and casement windows of Mapperley's period housing are as important to the streetscape as the doors. Our bespoke wooden windows — sash and casement — are made to the exact dimensions and profiles of each opening. View wooden windows →

Stained Glass, Porches & Gates

Mapperley's Edwardian properties frequently carry original stained or leaded glass in fanlights and door panels. Our stained glass service restores or recreates these features. Our wooden porches and gates complete the entrance with the same quality.
