Penstow New Builds

The Penstow New Builds project, located near Kilkhampton in North Cornwall, involved the construction of a series of bespoke residential homes designed to blend modern living with traditional craftsmanship. Each property was individually tailored to make the most of the site’s rural setting, delivering a collection of high-quality, energy-efficient homes built to stand the test of time.

Client Brief

The client required a reliable, experienced construction partner to take on the full build of several new homes — managing everything from groundwork to finishing. The brief called for durable materials, precise workmanship, and consistency across multiple properties, while still allowing for unique features in each build. It was essential that every home met high standards of comfort, style, and sustainability.

Our Approach

At WJE Carpentry & Construction, we managed the project from start to finish, ensuring every phase was completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard.

Our scope of work included:

• Full groundwork and site preparation
• Structural build, roofing, and exterior finishes
• Installation of insulation, electrics, and plumbing
• Internal carpentry, kitchens, and bespoke joinery
• Final finishing, decorating, and quality inspections

We placed a strong emphasis on quality control and coordination, maintaining excellent communication with the developer and other trades throughout the project. Our team’s ability to deliver consistent, high-quality results across multiple builds made this project a standout success.

The Result

The completed homes at Penstow combine modern design, energy efficiency, and traditional craftsmanship. Each property features spacious layouts, natural light, and a premium finish throughout — from bespoke carpentry and fitted kitchens to carefully chosen materials that complement the surrounding countryside.

The project showcases WJE’s capability to handle large-scale residential developments without compromising on the detail and quality that define our work. The client was extremely pleased with the professionalism, reliability, and finish delivered by our team.
