About Gerry is known round the world for his one-off 1/12th scale Tudor and timber framed dolls houses. His houses range in size from one room town houses to three or four storey houses. His prices are very modest, ranging from £500 for a small house and up to £1500 for a medium house, when considering the weeks of work that are lovingly bestowed upon each unique property! All his houses are painted, beamed inside and out and have wooden floors in all of the rooms.They also have stairs to all rooms, fireplaces and lights with almost all of the fittings being made in house. Gerry started his life as a production engineer over twenty years ago. His love of models started as a young boy with Meccano, Balsa wood aircraft and ships. Feeling unfulfilled in his job he made the brave decision to turn his hobby of model making into a job and opened a model shop. This allowed Gerry to develop his skills and knowledge of dolls house making but did not allow him the time and freedom he really needed to create his masterpieces.
He took a bold step at the end of the 80's by opening a local model shop in Barnstaple, the main town in North Devon. Model making was a hobby for Gerry but this took him away from his real passion of Tudor style dolls houses. He eventually closed the shop and setup working from his workshop at home, where you can still find him today. Gerry lives and works from a small village in the heart of North Devon. He takes much of his inspiration and natural enthusiasm from his surroundings; Exmoor national Park the beautiful beaches and coves. His family are close at hand and he finds the area affords him the quiet solitude to carry on his passion. 1/12th Scale Tudor style dolls houses
