There is a rare opportunity to buy a Huf Haus in the UK with only the 99th style of this home coming onto the market for £3.8 million.

The unique architectural house style has been introduced in Stoke Wood in Slough with the 4897 sqft property being built with floor-to-ceiling windows and steel beams in a triangular structure.

We take a tour of the home that includes five bedrooms, a cinema room and a fully covered outdoor BBQ area.

What is a Huf Haus?

Huf Haus, a renowned German housebuilder, specialises in crafting premium modular homes, characterised by timber/metal beams and floor-to-ceiling glass.

These homes are factory-produced and then transported to the site, boasting high energy efficiency through innovative design and cutting-edge renewable energy technologies.

The UK witnessed a surge in demand for Huf Haus homes following their inclusion on an episode of Grand Designs in 2004.

Although there are now over 300 such homes in the UK, only approximately 20 to 30 of the 150 homes produced annually by Huf Haus make their way to British shores.

As a main feature of the Huf Haus design this home includes large windows that provide an abundance of natural light to maximise the amount of daylighting in the property.

The full-length windows and steel frame balcony overlook the garden and surrounding Stoke Wood countryside.

Foxtons CEO, Guy Gittins, commented: “Despite a boom in popularity, the number of Huf Haus homes found across the UK is still slim and this makes them very sought after amongst a certain segment of homebuyers.

"Besides the obvious benefits such as being highly energy efficient, they are visually stunning properties and our latest listing is certainly no different."

Bedrooms include built-in storage and access to balcony
