I've seen quite a few and they are all a compromise due to the thickness of a double glazed unit. Some look ok, but the decent ones are big £.
I had a couple of cheap timber sashes put in to replace a couple of uPVC windows in my house and they are already trashed, less than 15 years later so don't recommend that option.
The best window I have is Jeldwen timber casement, factory painted. Went in the kitchen extension - still looking good 6 years later and it keeps the cold out too.
