In other words, just what you’d expect in a real period house.

 

Built in the round to look good from all angles
Features on all sides mean our dolls houses are realistic.  We don’t believe in bare, unsightly backs.  Our buildings are designed to look as good from behind as they do from the front.

If required, we can provide your cottage with a turntable to make the most of this feature.

 

Easy access
Removable floors, walls, etc. mean that your dolls house is easy to access for decorating, lighting and furnishing.  When you are done, just slot everything back into place.  Please note:  if you wire your house with lights then some items, usually floor plates,
will no longer be removable.

Discrete lighting
All our dolls houses are provided with cavity walls and other structures to hide any wiring needed for lights and fires. You can fit the lights yourself or we can make it easier all round by doing this when we build your house.

A piece of history
Historical accuracy is important to us.  Your dolls house will be a true-to-life version of a Lake District building.  We research our subject and then design with care to enable us to combine the necessary flexibility of a dolls house with the authenticity of a scale model.  

 

 

Personalised history
A ‘deed of conveyance’ is provided when you buy a 24th scale cottage, stating the property
has been transferred to you.  Please note:  deeds are only supplied with 24th scale cottages and not any other type of building or any of our 48th scale models.

Make your dolls house truly unique
