1-Bed Modular Cottage
30 square metres. A complete home.
The 1-Bed Cottage is a fully self-contained modular home designed to fit comfortably inside Ireland’s 2026 back-garden exemption. 30.1 square metres of open-plan living, kitchen and dining, with one en-suite double bedroom — delivered turnkey, ready to live in or rent out.

Two roofs. One floor plan.
The same 30.1 m² interior, presented in two architectural styles. Pick the look that suits your site.
Flat Roof
Contemporary line, minimal eaves. The cleaner, more architectural option — ideal for modern garden settings.
Gable Roof
Traditional cottage feel, slightly higher ridge line. The warmer option — sits comfortably alongside heritage homes.
Both options share the same internal layout — only the roof line differs.
At 30.1 m², the 1-Bed Cottage sits comfortably inside the new exemption. Install in a back garden without planning permission, and rent under the Rent-a-Room scheme for up to €14,000 a year tax-free.
