R3
About This Home
Rural House's R3 is a third-generation model in their contemporary rural range, at 125 m² across a 13.4 m by 9.3 m footprint. Available as single or two-storey, it can adapt to different site and planning contexts. The design uses advanced insulation and high-performance glazing to meet and exceed UK and Scottish building standards. A contemporary roof design and modern materials give it a clean aesthetic that works in rural Scotland without looking out of place.
Smart technology integration options, advanced heating and cooling systems, and modern electrical and plumbing setups reflect current expectations for a family home of this scale. Interior layouts and finishes are customisable. Outdoor spaces are designed into the plan.
For buyers building in rural Scotland who want a contemporary home that performs well technically and looks considered in its context, the R3 is a substantive option.
What We Love
The R3's advanced insulation and glazing specification exceeds current UK and Scottish standards rather than merely meeting them, which gives it a more comfortable and efficient baseline than most comparable homes.
