Awards won Best Brick Home 2020

We first welcomed Wayne and Nicky to the works in 2016. They had planning permission to build their dream home and their vision was to make Northcot House look like a working 19th century farmhouse. We worked closely with Wayne and Nicky and after many visits to the works and several sample walls built, we eventually created a bespoke blend of bricks that ticked all the right boxes. This project was named Brick Home 2020 Award Winner.
