OUR CART LODGES
Combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, at Stour Valley Oak we offer a comprehensive range of British made, classic cartlodges. A stunning addition to your home or work space, each oak-framed structure is individually crafted by our master carpenters, using traditional techniques.
​
The ideal solution for adding an attractive sheltered space to your grounds, a cartlodge offers great versatility. Whether you’re looking for a structure to store your car in, an outdoor working space, or an undercover area for entertaining, a handmade cartlodge will add personality and prestige to your property.
​
At Stour Valley Oak, our concept is simple. You choose the lodge that’s right for you from our artisan range, then our expert team of designers will customise it with your choice of roof profile, outshot and aisle preference, helping it blend seamlessly into your surroundings, whether you need it to harmonise with a period property or add character to a contemporary home.
THE CART LODGE RANGE
Our range of classic cartlodges incorporates The Maggi Hambling cartlodge - a one bay structure, The Constable - our two bay option, and The Gainsborough - a striking three bay lodge. Just like their namesake Suffolk artists, the look and feel of each structure has been carefully considered to become an intrinsic part of the landscape for years to come.
BRINGING YOUR IDEAS TO LIFE
As all our cartlodges are locally crafted in our Suffolk workshop, they can be tailored to meet your exact specifications before being delivered direct to your door. You may find you need extra height for a tell vehicle, or a little less height to make your structure balance with your surroundings better; you may like a wider build, or a deeper frame. At Stour Valley Oak, we cut all our own wood, so our experts can easily configure a design solution that works perfectly for you.
​
As part of our comprehensive service, our team will visit your site, discuss your needs, then develop a cartlodge to your exact specifications. Great customer service is an integral part of our concept, and it’s what we’re known for. Take a look at our testimonials page to see why our customers choose and recommend us time and again.
