A new showroom featuring premium products from the UK’s oldest timber window and doors manufacturer is set to open at Blenheim Palace Sawmills, within the historic Blenheim Palace Estate near Combe.
The beautifully renovated nineteenth-century barn conversion will display solid timber and Alu Clad windows and doors from Allan Brothers, a company with a 200-year history of delivering bespoke joinery and craftsmanship from its factory in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Visitors can view a variety of traditional timber sash windows, flush casement windows, entrance doors, and elegant patio door solutions, all designed to blend a classic appearance with modern performance standards.
The new venture will be run by a local team headed up by Commercial Director Charlotte Whelan, who was previously the managing director of Witney-based window installer Jack Brunsdon Ltd.
She is joined by Marketing Assistant Hannah Wardle and Christopher Seymour, Account Manager, who will deliver client services across the Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, and the Home Counties regions.
Charlotte Whelan said, “We are thrilled to introduce Allan Brothers’ exclusive range of products to the area.
“Our traditionally styled window and door designs are well-suited to the region’s rural homes and heritage properties, as well as complementing contemporary developments.
“As our company has a rich heritage dating back to 1811, we believe there’s no more fitting place for our new showroom than within the original timber sawmill, where carpenters, woodturners, and wheelwrights used to work.”
Next to the showroom, visitors can step back in time into the Combe Mill, now a hands-on working museum where they can experience life in Victorian rural England.
The new Allan Brothers showroom will be open to homeowners, architects, and trade professionals from Thursday, 22 May. Opening hours are Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 4.00pm, and visits can be arranged by appointment.
Blenheim Palace Sawmills is located on Swan Lane between Long Hanborough and Combe, approximately 8 miles north-west of Oxford.
