Well! Quite fancy one of those modular homes!

It did indeed seem to fit the bill of as true off site build.

 

But I felt a bungalow did not fit in with the neighbours. No criticism of the method, just imho the wrong house for the plot.

 

Their garden office  junk storage room though looked like it was just clad in a load of pallets.

 

Talking of pallets,  I felt well at home seeing one of the houses using temporary "steps" made from a pile of pallets.

Garden office made from the left overs of the black ‘pallet house ‘

yes pallets can come in handy, we too have pallet steps! Hopefully for not much longer, but all joking aside if I was ever going to do it again (maybe in a couple of years ?!)I’d definitely look at these modular homes , looked lovely and the price seemed fair

I thought they had used the pallets to strategically lift the planters so that the internal to external shots showed plants not rubbish ..!!

I liked the modular home very much ... but 180k does seem a lot, though that probably makes it one of the cheaper ones on the street.

 

I would have liked to learn what after-finishing was required, and airtightness.
