Great Ouse 1 Bed Lodge | 8x5m

The Great Ouse: Next-Generation Log Cabin Living

The Great Ouse 1 Bed Lodge represents the pinnacle of modern timber engineering. Unlike traditional solid log cabins, this 8m x 5m structure is built using 88mm Glulam (Glue Laminated) logs. This advanced manufacturing process creates timber that is stronger, straighter, and far less prone to the settling, twisting, or cracking often associated with standard wood. The result is a home that feels solid, permanent, and exceptionally thermally efficient

Designed for Residency

With an internal area of over 35 square metres, the Great Ouse is perfectly configured as a comfortable one-bedroom home. The design includes:

• Residential Grade Insulation Prep: The roof is specifically designed with a double roof preparation to accommodate 100mm of insulation, ensuring the cabin stays warm in winter and cool in summer.

• Heavy-Duty Foundation: The structure sits on massive 135mm x 135mm floor bearers, providing a rock-solid base that guarantees the longevity of the building.

• Robust Flooring: We utilise 28mm floorboards, offering a firm, high-quality feel underfoot compared to the standard 19mm used in cheaper alternatives.

Premium Finishes as Standard

The Great Ouse arrives with high-specification "Living Type" windows and doors. These are not basic shed windows; they are residential quality, 68mm thick, double-glazed units that come pre-painted, saving you time and ensuring a flawless factory finish. The inclusion of a large double glass door and multiple windows ensures the living space is flooded with natural light.
