Erstling
About This Home
Baufritz has been building ecological timber homes since 1896, and the Erstling is a two-storey design that combines a classic pitched roof and timeless facade with a fully contemporary ecological specification. At just over 142 m°, the floor plan accommodates three bedrooms and three bathrooms across a practical, well-lit layout. The interior prioritises comfortable, efficient flow between spaces rather than open-plan maximalism.
The ecological timber frame uses Baufritz's proprietary wood shaving insulation throughout, alongside eco-friendly water heating, modern climate control, and home automation options. The allergy-friendly material standard applies consistently. The layout is designed as a practical long-term family home rather than a showpiece, which suits buyers looking for a forever home rather than a design statement.
The Erstling's combination of classic exterior character and well-resolved interior practicality makes it one of the more straightforward choices in the Baufritz catalogue for families who want traditional form with modern performance. Interior configurations are customisable. German standards apply, with UK compliance confirmed on a project by project basis.
What We Love
Three bathrooms across three bedrooms in a classically formed pitched-roof design with Baufritz's full ecological spec: the Erstling is a well-resolved family home without an architectural agenda.
