R1
About This Home
Rural House is a Scottish manufacturer building modular homes designed specifically for rural plots in Scotland. The R1 is their entry-level contemporary model, single storey by default but configurable across two floors depending on site and planning requirements. At 52.9 m² it sits at the compact end of their range, with a footprint of 12.92 x 4.09 m and a clean modern roof profile that sits in contrast to the bothy-inspired models elsewhere in the catalogue.
Materials and systems meet current Scottish building regulations, with modern insulation and glazing options included as standard. The separation from the R-Bothy line is deliberate: the R1 exists for buyers who want contemporary rural housing with no nod to vernacular tradition.
What We Love
The R1 is one of the few genuinely compact contemporary modular homes designed with Scottish planning conditions in mind, offering a modern aesthetic without the barn or bothy trappings.
