Long House
About This Home
The Long House is exactly what the name suggests: a single-storey home measuring 22.89 metres long and just under 13 metres deep, covering nearly 294 m² on one level. Five bedrooms and an open-plan layout spread across a single floor produces a very different quality of space from a two-storey home of similar area. There are no stairs, no levels to negotiate, and the full width of the plan can be used as continuous living space.
The flat roof and mixed timber cladding give the Long House a clean, low-profile exterior that sits well in rural settings. Baufritz's patented wood shaving insulation and triple glazing are standard, with optional renewable energy systems available. The allergen-free materials and clean air technology are consistent with the wider Baufritz range.
For buyers who want single-level living at a generous scale, the Long House is one of the most purposeful options in the catalogue.
What We Love
Single-storey living across nearly 294 m² is an unusual proposition, and the Long House is designed around it from the start rather than simply removing the staircase from a two-storey plan. A rare model for buyers who want space without levels.
