Locke House
About This Home
The Locke House is an exceptionally large home: nearly 763 m² across two storeys, with a footprint of roughly 29 by 26 metres. Like the Crossland House, it is operating at a scale that takes it firmly into the territory of a custom commission rather than a standard catalogue selection.
The design references traditional British architecture with an innovative pitched roof, timber cladding, and rendered surfaces, while the construction is thoroughly contemporary. Advanced features include underfloor heating, air source heat pumps, and mechanical ventilation with heat exchange. Baufritz's patented wood shaving insulation and triple glazing complete an exceptionally well-specified thermal envelope.
Four bedrooms and two bathrooms across nearly 763 m² is worth noting: the room sizes and living areas will be very generous, and the layout is clearly designed around expansive communal spaces rather than maximising bedroom count.
What We Love
The Locke House is one of the few Baufritz models to include air source heat pumps and mechanical ventilation with heat exchange as part of the standard specification. At nearly 763 m², it is also one of the most comprehensively engineered homes in the catalogue.
