The Ayrshire-based Wee House Company has announced that work has started on their largest 'Wee House' to date – a 4 bedroom bespoke build home measuring 215 sq m.
The build will feature an open plan kitchen-dining-living area, office, utility room, walk in wardrobe, 2 en-suite bathrooms, 1 family bathroom, 1 w/c, a wood burning stove and vaulted ceilings.
The lucky owners of this custom-built house are young couple Daryl McWhinnie and Heather Campbell. Working in a hands-on role in his family run business McLaren's Nurseries, Daryl needs to be located close by, and so it is on the 50 acre plot of land that their dream home is being built.
Heather said: "We are excited to claim the title of Biggest Wee House yet! When we first contacted The Wee House Company, I'll admit that the ‘wee' brand name did make us wonder if they would be able to take on a project such as ours, but within minutes of speaking to the team any concerns we had completely vanished, and it became clear the design possibilities were endless. As first-time homeowners with zero knowledge of self-building, we really valued the guidance of the Design Manager who guided us through every step of the process."
Managing Director of The Wee House Company Jennifer Higgins added: "We are delighted to be delivering this 215sq m home for our client and I look forward to seeing the progress unfold in our factory in the weeks ahead. The commission of this large-scale project represents a real opportunity for us to showcase what we can do, and perhaps it might even pique the interest of an audience we have not yet reached before."
