Fortescue
About This Home
Baufritz has been building ecological timber homes since 1896, and the Fortescue is one of their more formally classical designs. The pitched roof with modern detailing creates an exterior that sits between traditional and contemporary rather than committing to either, which gives it broader site versatility. At just over 246 m² across two levels, the floor plan has genuine space for five bedrooms with well-proportioned living areas.
The ecological timber frame uses Baufritz's proprietary wood shaving insulation throughout. Energy-efficient heating, eco-friendly water heating, smart home automation, and modern accessibility solutions are all available within the specification. Premium ecological materials apply throughout the build, consistent with the full Baufritz range.
The Fortescue is a strong option for buyers who want a larger Baufritz home with classical exterior character rather than a contemporary form. The floor plan scale and the quality of finish are both at the upper end of the range. Customisation of interior layouts and finishes is fully available. German engineering standards apply, with UK compliance confirmed on a project by project basis.
What We Love
At over 246 m² with a classically referenced pitched roof and full ecological timber frame spec, the Fortescue is one of the few models in the Baufritz range that delivers genuine scale alongside architectural formality.
