Cottage Homes - Norscot Kit Homes

Cottage Homes

The original and still very popular ‘Cottage Range’ was primarily developed for the self-build market and exclusively features single storey homes to ensure minimum impact on the countryside.

The enduring design features of the ‘Cottage Range’ are:

Single storey, to provide a safe and convenient living environment.
Traditional proportions and detailing, to satisfy planning requirements.
Quality uPVC windows, doors and roofline trims, for minimal maintenance.
No load-bearing internal walls, to maximise flexibility of layout.
Fitted wardrobes in most bedrooms, to maximise space.
Generous roof storage with access hatch and telescopic ladder.

Throughout the ‘Cottage Range’ there are recurrent design features which allow us to take part of one cottage and combine it with part of another, so as to produce a totally different design.

Furthermore, all cottage designs can be extended in length to provide more space in any room, a utility or en-suite shower (where the design does not already offer such accommodation) or maybe additional storage space.

Features such as an open fire / chimney or stove / flue and an integral garage can be incorporated into any design. Also, all cottages can be flipped or mirrored to provide the correct orientation.

There are numerous Optional Design Features available to customise your Norscot Kit Home. These customisable options can really make an impact on the character and style of your home, items such as feature glazing, peaks, porches or vaulted ceilings really aid in personalising and giving character to your design.

Many hundreds of these homes have been built throughout the Highlands of Scotland, in other parts of the UK, France and Spain.

Featured Case Study

Mrs Miller & Mr Bamfield, Upper Humster, Caithness

Total Floor Area: 231m² Total Build Costs: £300,000.00 (Approx.)

Mrs Miller and her husband Mr Bamfield married in 2006 each owning their own separate homes. Their future plan was to live together in a new home in the countryside. They looked at many areas around Caithness before finally deciding on the plot at Upper Humster, Wick. The location appealed to them due to its uninterrupted panoramic views of the nearby town of Wick. They liked the fact that they were building in a quiet and secluded part of the countryside whilst still being within reasonable distance to the town and its local amenities.

The house was designed by Mrs Miller’s son Jonathan Miller of NorCAD Design. It was important to Mrs. Miller that Jonathan’s design company was able to work very closely with Norscot when finalising the kit design and moving it through to production. This allowed the whole process to move smoothly and with little delay.
