There is a common misconception that the building of timber-framed houses died out in England by the 1800's but here are two outstanding Victorian examples (post 1860) of end jettied houses standing in Ardington model village on The Lockinge Estate, South Oxfordshire [Olde Berkshire]

The timbers employed on both buildings are notably well converted i.e. straight and planed finish.

There is no reason why we could not build to this standard today.
