Product Details Company Info More from this company We're exhibiting

We have found through years of experience that many of our customers find it hard to work out what they want from their new home without having a defined starting point.

We understand this, and to help we have published over 100 designs from our portfolio for you to take inspiration from. These past designs are collated into our Ideas Books and can be used as a starting point to help shape your new home. This is not a catalogue to choose from, but rather an illustration of what can be achieved. We recommend you use our Ideas Books to steer your initial thoughts on the look, layout and floor plan of your new home. Many of our customers want to build an exact replica of one of our past designs, but often some small amends are required to ensure the house suits and fits your plot perfectly.

Our self-build team will work with you to tailor something from these designs and ensure that we make your house a home – whatever your requirements. Designing your dream home with Potton couldn’t be easier.

from the local planning authority for our customers, gaining planning consent for over 7000 homes over the last 50 years, so are best placed to advise you in all areas of planning policy.

The Build

For over fifty years, Potton has been at the forefront of the self-building market, and our craft has only improved with time. Now, our reputation precedes us, and we work with some of the leading building system and insulation technologies to offer a premium product with a premium performance to match. Our timber frame and structural insulated panel (SIP) systems are measured to exactly match an individual home’s requirements, then engineered and assembled by our team of expert timber-frame builders and erectors. These systems perform highly in terms of thermal efficiency, meaning our builds are low energy and high quality.

Timber is our specialisation, and because we not diversify to other methods like masonry, we have really honed our craft. Our timber frames are made from European whitewood (spruce), which is sourced from sustainable forests in central Europe. All the wood we use is sustainably sourced and subject to a certified chain of custody. Our timber is then measured and custom built to each and every home we create.
