Our second visit to the home of Figtree Farm to see Coppice & Crown’s much loved Heritage Oak Flooring
In the heart of their cherished farmhouse, Jess and James of Figtree Farm have created a living space that perfectly balances family life with timeless style, choosing our floor as the perfect farmhouse oak to ground their sitting room in natural beauty.
Already known to many through Jess’s popular Instagram account @figtreefarm, and having previously featured their stunning kitchen renovation, Jess and James understand the importance of choosing materials that not only look beautiful but can withstand the joyful chaos of family life with their two young sons.
The sitting room showcases our mixed-width Heritage Oak flooring, with boards up to 300mm wide, creating a naturally varied appearance that speaks to the historic character of their farmhouse. The different plank widths echo the organic rhythm of traditional wood floors, adding visual interest while maintaining an authentic feel that’s so crucial in period properties.
For Jess and James, selecting the right flooring for their family space was about more than aesthetics. With two active boys, they needed a floor that could tell its own story over time, developing character through the natural wear patterns of family life. Our British Heritage Oak provides exactly that – a durable yet warm surface that welcomes both quiet moments and energetic play.
The beauty of Heritage Oak lies not just in its appearance but in its provenance. Sourced and crafted in Britain, each board carries with it a connection to our local landscape, something that resonates deeply with this farming family. The mixed-width installation creates a subtle visual rhythm throughout the space, harmonising with both the original features of their farmhouse and their carefully chosen furnishings.
As their children grow and their home evolves, our Heritage Oak flooring will continue to be the foundation of countless family memories, developing a rich patina that only comes with time and life well-lived. For Jess and James, this wasn’t just about choosing a floor – it was about investing in a surface that would grow with their family, telling their story through every footstep, every game played, and every moment shared.
The sustainable credentials of our British Heritage Oak were another key factor in Jess and James’s decision. Every board is sourced from carefully managed British woodlands, where responsible forestry practices ensure the health of our native forests for generations to come. This commitment to sustainability aligned perfectly with their values as a family who understand the importance of environmental stewardship.
While initially drawn to the character of reclaimed flooring, Jess and James found that our British Heritage Oak offered the same depth of character without the uncertainties often associated with salvaged materials. The authentic appearance and natural variation in the wood grain provide all the charm of a historic floor, while the precise manufacturing ensures consistent quality and easier installation throughout their space.
The decision to choose British-made flooring wasn’t just about supporting local craftsmanship – though that was important to them – but about reducing the environmental impact of their renovation. With timber sourced and milled within the British Isles, their flooring’s journey from forest to farmhouse was minimised, creating a truly sustainable wood flooring choice for their forever home.
