Malvern Cottage Range Stretton Summerhouse
The Stretton Summerhouse is an attractive pent roof styled summerhouse, ideal to fit into spaces where the external roof height is a consideration. The Stretton is available in six sizes (see below for details of sizes available).
The external walls, windows and doors are all made from premium clear grade western red cedar. The warm and stable cedar contains its own oils and preservatives making it a naturally durable and rot resistant species of timber, perfect for a garden room.
The Stretton has double locking doors to the front with a fixed window either side of the double doors (10ft and wider leaded models have two fixed windows either side of the doors). There are two opening windows in each side of the Stretton (extra windows can be added if required). Windows and doors can be either Georgian or a leaded style. All window and door furniture is high quality solid brass. The Stretton roof is tiled with Bitumen roof tiles and comes with a redwood pine tongue and grooved floor as standard.
The exterior is finished with three coats of a breathable protective paint system, in a choice of attractive colours. Internally the Stretton is lined with patterned medium density fibreboard which recieves two coats of your chosen decorative colour finish.
