Ah, the undeniable practicality of living in a small wooden house! To think that you could move into a space that’s tailored to your needs and has the look you were always fond of. Dive into this adventure by selecting an affordable option from Quick-garden.co.uk, whether it’s a building with an open-plan concept or a small wooden house with dedicated spaces for your ideas. Let’s see – if this blog post makes your eyes light up with excitement, it’s go time.
Small wooden houses: why they’re considered magic on a budget
If you’ve ever wondered about the appeal of these structures, there are numerous ways to look at them. Firstly, rising mortgage rates and the higher cost of living contribute to many UK residents choosing to either downsize to a small wooden house or choose it as a way to enter the real estate market as first-time buyers. The ongoing housing crisis also contributes to more compact and affordable properties being swept up faster. Finally, the structures in this assortment are made from slow-grown conifer timber, which is better for the planet, as wood is sustainable, sturdy, and affordable.
Choosing the right small wooden house for you
Once you start narrowing down your options, certain criteria might help come to the right model faster. Here are a few questions that may help:
• How many people will reside in the new home, and what will the space be used for?
• How often will the building be used in the colder months?
• Where will the small wooden house be located – next to other residences or in a more remote location?
These questions will help you land on the right size, insulation, and base type (timber frame or concrete base foundation) for the new residence or business. At Quick-garden.co.uk, you’ll find a wide variety of 30 - 80 m² models for a living arrangement downsize, a vacation spot, a new or growing business, and so on.

Downsizing to 60 - 80 m² vibrant wooden housing
While choosing a smaller and cosier house can save a lot of costs, so can planning permission friendly models. Usually, prior to building your new structure, you need to acquire planning permission from the local authorities, which may prolong the process. However, if the small wooden house is built on a mobile platform, it will most likely not need this step, including the documentation and additional costs.
Check out SELENE M and NICOLE M – planning permission friendly projects that are 63 and 68 m², respectively. These 2 to 3 bedroom models come with optional terraces (an extra feature), and sport flawless aesthetics. Sleek cladding, tall windows, and symmetrical shapes all make these structures a feast for the eyes. If you’re looking for a smaller option, give ADALINE a chance – it offers 2 bedrooms, and the 24 m² terrace is included in the price. The double-pitched roof is also a lot more pronounced!

However, we highly recommend checking with the local planning department before installing it.
