What Is A Cottage Front Door?

Nothing represents the British countryside quite like a stone-built cottage full of character and craftsmanship. Cottages are mostly older properties and often situated in conservation areas, National Parks, or have listed building status, so any home improvements need to be made with care.

When making any improvements to the exterior of a cottage, all changes should be in keeping with the traditional country feel. When replacing the front door on a cottage it’s important to maintain the character and integrity of the building whilst adhering to any guidelines for changing the appearance.

Common features of a traditional cottage are low ceiling heights, small rooms and non-standard sized doorways. At Everest, we offer a fully made-to-measure door that can fit any non-standard or unusual-sized doorway for a perfect fit. We also offer door styles and colours suitable for a country cottage such as muted shades of classic green, brown or grey.

For a cottage front door, a composite door could be a suitable option if there are no restrictions, or a solid timber door. Stable doors are popular as a back door, but can add character as a front door to a country cottage property.

Commonly Asked Questions

+
Do I need planning permission to change my front door?
You can change the front door of your property without needing planning approval. However, it is always advisable to speak to your local authority, as there may be conditions attached to previous permissions or covenants covering what you can and cannot do.

What's the best material for a front door?
Each material offers various benefits and advantages. UPVC offers great value but with good security. Composite doors marry a robust construction with stunning looks. Timber is tough and hard wearing and offers timeless styling. Aluminium is a good strong alternative that does not expand or warp in hot weather.

How much does a new front door cost?
A large number of variables influence the price of a door including material, construction, if locks and hardware have been added and if the installation is included. The cheapest doors are sold as basic slabs – just the door leaf with no finish or hardware added. All Everest front doors are sold as door sets that come pre-assembled with the frame locks and all hardware in place and we then include the cost of installation.

Does a new front door increase home value?
Your front door is the first experience of your home that a visitor has and it sets a standard of what they can expect to find inside. First impressions really do count.

According to an expert estate agent's advice, the colour of your front door can have a huge impact on the sale.

The best colour front door to sell your home is a classic colour that's in keeping with the style and location. Black, greys, blues, deep reds, natural woods and classic greens are all safe options you should opt for.

What is Secured by Design and PAS 24?
Secured by Design (SBD) is an accreditation that consumers can look for when selecting products to have confidence that a door, window or lock meets a certain level of quality.

To achieve an SPD licence, the products must meet requirements to prevent crime set to a 'Police Preferred Specification'.

SBD approved products can only be produced by a manufacturer with a Secured by Design licence.

Publicly Available Specification (PAS) is a standard set by an industry to ensure that all manufacturers in an industry are making and selling products that reach the industry benchmark for quality.

PAS is overseen by the BSI (British Standards Institution) who manage the setting and distribution of the PAS standards.

PAS 24 and Secured by Design are independent of each other. However, most SBD products must meet PAS 24 standards as a minimum alongside other SBD requirements.

PAS 24 or an equivalent standard is required to meet Building Regulations for new builds properties.
