Wooden Driveway Gates
in Witley.

Witley sits within the Surrey Hills AONB in the Waverley district between Godalming and Haslemere, built around the Grade I All Saints Church which dates from the eleventh century. King Edward's School Witley defines the southern edge of the village and sets a Victorian architectural reference. The Witley Park Victorian country house estate, with its famous underwater ballroom, lies nearby. The residential stock is dominated by period property: half-timbered cottages in the village core, late-Victorian detached houses on the slopes, and rural farmhouse conversions on the lanes towards Chiddingfold and Brook.

The wooden-gate specification in Witley is defined by the Victorian and earlier property stock and the AONB landscape context. Oak in framed-and-braced construction is the default for the village-core jobs because the visual reference is the surrounding timber-framed architecture. Iroko handles the larger openings on the Victorian properties where the proportions call for a substantial leaf. Accoya is the answer on exposed approaches where the homeowner wants the durability certificate. Every installer we refer in Witley understands the Waverley AONB design guidance and the conservation officer expectations.
