One of the first things you'll see when you enter an East Broomlands house is the impressive staircase. This superb feature is made from the finest European oak, meticulously crafted in the company's joinery workshop in Kelso.

Deep honey coloured oak is a feature throughout each home. All doors, skirtings and facings are made from this hardwood, that is not only beautiful but lasts forever. High quality brass ironmongery fittings are standard on the doors.
