Pod 52
About This Home
The Pod Factory is an Irish modular manufacturer offering steel-framed homes built to Irish and EU building regulations. Pod 52 is their two-bedroom entry, covering 52 m² on a 10 x 5.2 m plan with an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area, a master bedroom with en-suite, a second bedroom, and a family bathroom. High-quality composite cladding and a robust steel frame are used throughout, which gives it a weather resistance profile suited to the Irish climate.
An air-to-water heat pump is standard, alongside high-performance insulation and optional solar panels. Smart home integration and external decking are available as customisations. Build time is quoted at 10 to 12 weeks, which is fast even by modular standards, and a ten-year structural warranty is included. At €135,000 it is one of the more accessibly priced full-specification modular homes in the Irish and UK-adjacent markets.
What We Love
A steel-framed, air-to-water heat pump-equipped two-bedroom home at €135,000 with a 10 to 12 week build time is a genuinely competitive package: Pod 52 makes a strong case on both specification and speed.
