Cathedral Limestone Flooring

Cathedral limestone flooring is a distinctive rustic natural stone with rich autumnal green and brown tones, inspired by the traditional flagstones found in historic British farmhouses and period homes.

Supplied by Simali Stone Limited, Cathedral limestone blends beautifully with local materials such as Shaftesbury Green limestone, making it a perfect choice for properties across Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset and the surrounding villages and market towns.

The stone’s warm colour palette, natural variation and aged character give every floor a real timeless, authentic feel that sits comfortably in both heritage and contemporary interiors.

To see how Cathedral Stone has been installed in homes across Shaftesbury and the surrounding villages, including kitchens, hallways and full ground floors, explore our Cathedral Stone Flooring overview.

Cathedral as a regional brand stone

Cathedral Limestone – A Regional Heritage Stone

Cathedral limestone has become one of our most popular signature stones, chosen by homeowners who want a floor that reflects the natural character of the South West.

Its autumnal tones closely complement local stones such as Shaftesbury Green, meaning Cathedral works exceptionally well in traditional cottages, farmhouses and period properties throughout the surrounding villages and rural landscapes.

We often describe Cathedral as a “modern heritage stone” – offering the charm of reclaimed flagstones with the reliability and consistency of new natural stone.
