Located in the heart of the Cornish countryside on England's south coast, this modern oak frame home by Oakwrights was inspired by the historic barns of Kent. Constructed using cutting-edge CNC machine technology and finished by hand, the charming property fuses modern techniques with traditional design.
Based on ‘The Derndale’ model from Oakwrights' Woodhouse range, the property has been customised to suit its owners, a retired couple looking to create their forever home. Costing around $535,000 (£383k), the property spans a generous 2,142 square feet and offers a chic and contemporary interior that's framed by exposed oak beams.
Due to planning constraints, Oakwrights needed to make the structure single-storey, yet they’ve managed to achieve a great deal without compromising on space. The home’s highlights include its double-height entrance hall, vaulted ceilings with King post trusses and extensive glazing. There are three bedrooms and two, as well as a beautiful kitchen and spacious lounge.
Due to its remote location, the oak-framed property comes equipped with an oil-fired boiler and a septic tank, as well as bottled gas, which is used to power the kitchen stove. What's more, after the foundations and initial groundworks were carried out, assembly of the home took just 13 days.
A stunning self-built home, it’s hard to believe that this grand pad was manufactured in a factory. Constructed from natural timber by WeberHaus, the impressive property finds itself in the quiet countryside of Cambridge, England.
Outside sits a hot tub and a swimming pool, combining luxury home features with WeberHaus’s eco principles. The building's hot water and electricity are powered by solar panels, while an integrated heat recovery ventilation system recycles power and a water source heat pump utilises the nearby river.
Constructed on-site by expert house builders in just three days, the magnificent modular home exudes elegance. Inside, the timber frame kit home is bright, contemporary and chic with state-of-the-art fixtures. Costing approximately $3,200 (£2,300) per square metre, this remarkable build shows just how impressive a factory-built property can be.
Located in Ardvaser on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, the LH102PD Longhouse kit home from Hebridean Homes makes the most of its gorgeous surrounding landscape. As far as remote homes go, this one is up there with the best of them.
Despite its compact 1,399-square-foot layout, the modern home features three spacious bedrooms and vaulted ceilings, giving the impression of ample height and space. Extensive glazing allows for plenty of solar gains and floods each living area with natural light.
Contemporary and pared-back, the home’s stunning design can be customised to meet individual needs, meaning your kit home can be as bespoke as you like. A lean-to rear extension allows for a light and roomy open-plan kitchen-diner, while skylights draw extra light into the property's attic.

The gable-end pitched roof and modern bay windows add traditional elements to a truly contemporary design.

After purchasing a dilapidated bungalow on a perfectly located plot, the owners of this contemporary timber pad looked to Facit Homes for a bespoke package property. The couple were able to have a unique home created for them, without the constraints of following any set company models.
The bungalow was demolished to make way for a brand new, low-energy home. The property was designed to sit within the bungalow's original footprint, rising up two storeys with a dramatic asymmetrical pitched roof, allowing for a second-floor ceiling height of almost 15 feet. Plenty of glazing allows for light to flood every space, while clean whitewashed walls give a crisp and sophisticated interior finish.

Designed for a family of four, this gorgeous energy-efficient kit home from Stommel Haus offers plenty of interior space. Highly eco-friendly, the property was constructed from sustainable materials, including Nordic spruce heartwood, recycled glass and newspaper, proving that alternative building methods are always worth considering.
Located on an extremely thin plot adjoining a neighbouring property, getting natural light into the home became the biggest challenge for Stommel Haus. To tackle the issue, their design team created an internal courtyard on the ground floor, which allowed plenty of sunlight to enter the communal living areas.
Inside, a beautiful open-plan kitchen and a double-height dining area add wow-factor, while exposed wood gives a natural finish. To make the home future-proof, a bathroom and master suite were added to the ground floor, while two additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom sit on the first floor.
Covering 2,809 square feet, the home's structure was prefabricated in the Stommel Haus factory, which allowed for assembly in just seven working days. The property was fully finished after just three and a half months and features a ground source heat pump and underfloor heating. Prices for a similar property by Stommel Haus start from $1.1 million (£750k), while a three-bedroom house starts at around $489,000 (£350k).
This award-winning barn-style property finds itself nestled on the borders of Hampshire and Surrey in the UK. Designed, manufactured and erected by Welsh Oak Frame, the pretty package home was created to meet the homeowners' bespoke needs. They had lived next door to a dilapidated cottage for 16 years, before buying the building with a view to knocking it down and creating their dream home in its place.
Their goal was to create a home that showcased local materials, was energy efficient and had a beautiful, vernacular design. An ‘upside down’ floor plan meant living spaces would sit above three bedrooms on the lower ground floor. The home’s striking master ensuite bedroom covers the entirety of the top floor to maximise views.
The sloping plot offered incredible landscape views, which helped Welsh Oak Frame to create a design that would make the most of its surroundings. The off-grid house features a rainwater harvesting system, solar thermal panels, solar photovoltaic panels and a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system. Twice thermally insulated, it's also entirely energy efficient. Taking 14 months to construct, the contemporary abode cost the owners around $645,000 (£462k).
Covering 3,552 square feet, the property recycles the cottage's old bricks – some dating back to the late 1600s – to give the new oak frame barn a traditional finish. To stay on budget, many materials were reclaimed, or ex-display, meaning the couple could demolish a house and build a new one without the need for a single skip.
Designed and installed by Fleming Homes, this gorgeous single-storey oak-framed property sits in the idyllic English countryside of Wiltshire.
Outside, the building blends farmhouse-style masonry with exposed timber frame, while the interior is a cosy and traditional space with high, vaulted ceilings and plenty of glazing.
The property's frame was built from a combination of natural oak and timber beams, while a mechanical ventilation system, an air source heat pump and solar photovoltaic panels make the home highly eco-friendly.
A one-stop-shop for self builders, Fleming Homes supplies and erects bespoke timber frame properties for a truly graft-free approach. This elegant scheme took just five months to create, from groundwork installation to watertight sealing, and cost the homeowner $838,000 (£600k).
