Keymer tiles put the red into Red Hill

27/08/2010

Western Home Counties' leading property company, Fairfax Properties, has enhanced its latest masterpiece's timeless aesthetic with Keymer's hand made clay roof tiles.

Set in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Red Hill View in Berkshire is a superb Georgian-style country home, set in 13 acres of its own land. Created for first class, modern family living, the substantial property is built to the highest specification using hand-formed bricks in a traditional Flemish bond and topped off beautifully with more than 20,000 hand made clay roof tiles from Keymer. Chosen from Fairfax Properties' personal favourite - Keymer's Shire Range - the Priory coloured tiles blend perfectly with the home's breathtaking views of Buckleberry.

Fairfax's properties are set in some of the country's most tranquil settings and Red Hill View is no exception, nestling in some of Royal Berkshire's loveliest countryside. Boasting craftsmanship that will last the test of time, Fairfax's appreciation for quality is only matched by the enduring beauty of the materials, including Keymer's handmade clay tiles. The Shire range comes in three colour shades - Priory, Heritage and Downs Red.

Since first specifying Keymer's prestigious hand made clay tiles over five years ago, they continue to feature on a number of its highly sought after ‘dream' homes.

Neil Tobin, Managing Director, Keymer commented, "We are very proud to be working alongside Fairfax Properties and even prouder to see our clay tiles adorn their magnificent country homes." He continued, "With a relationship that gets ever stronger, we look forward to seeing even more successful projects in the future."

Clay is an important element in the Western Home Counties' architectural tradition and clay tiled roofs are a typical sight throughout the region. It is important to Fairfax Properties to respect this local building material and with Keymer they have a reliable, high quality supplier.

As an active supporter of green standards, Fairfax Properties found in Keymer an efficient means to obtain sustainable materials with a limited impact on the environment. All clay used by the company is sourced from its own quarry, situated at Keymer's main office in West Sussex.

With a reputation for consistently striving to use good quality building materials, Fairfax Properties' buildings feature traditionally elegant red roofs that add a burst of character essential for any country home. Keymer's heritage, as well as its dedication to clay tiles made by hand, means its products are ideal to supply Fairfax Properties with the exact appearance it desires roof after roof.
