2-Bedroom Homes
This is the widest category in the range and the one where most real decisions get made. It runs from a compact 38 m² cottage that fits inside the auxiliary-dwelling exemption up to a 135 m² two-storey home, which means the planning route changes substantially from one end to the other.

View DetailsTwo bedrooms is the point at which a timber cabin stops being an addition to a house and starts being a house. Most of these go in as granny flats, homes for adult children, year-round holiday lets, or permanent homes on family sites — all uses where the specification conversation is about living in the building through an Irish winter rather than using it on summer afternoons.

Who these suit
Granny flats and auxiliary dwellings
The models at the lower end of this category fall inside the 32–45 m² range that the auxiliary-dwelling exemption covers, for a detached dwelling to the rear of the main house connected to its services, with 14 days' notice to the council.
Holiday lets that work outside July
Two bedrooms is the size that lets to families rather than couples, and a properly insulated cabin earns in shoulder season too. Short-term letting in Ireland has its own registration rules worth reading before you order.
Permanent homes on family land
At the larger sizes these are year-round homes rather than garden buildings. Above the exemption thresholds they need planning permission, and we supply the drawings and specifications for the application.
Choosing the right size
The dividing line that matters in this category is not comfort, it is regulation. Models of 32–45 m² can fall inside the auxiliary-dwelling exemption when used as a detached dwelling to the rear of the main house; above 45 m² that route closes and planning permission applies. If avoiding a planning application is the priority, that narrows the choice immediately — and if it is not, the larger layouts open up considerably.
Beyond the threshold, the real question is single-storey or two-storey. A two-storey model gives you far more floor area on the same footprint, which is decisive on a small site, at the cost of a taller building that is more conspicuous to neighbours and to the planning process.
For anything in this category used as a permanent home, specify the double wall insulation kit and plan heating and ventilation together from the start. These are buildings people live in daily, not three-season rooms.
2-Bedroom Homes — FAQs
Which models can be a granny flat without planning permission?
Those with an internal area inside the 32–45 m² range, used as a detached auxiliary dwelling to the rear of the main house and connected to its services. The council must be notified 14 days before work starts and further conditions apply, including local designations — so confirm your specific site with your local authority before ordering.
Can a two-bedroom cabin be a permanent home?
Yes, and many are. Add the double wall insulation kit, plan the heating and ventilation together rather than separately, and expect a BER to be relevant where the building is used as a dwelling. Tell us at the start that it is a permanent home — it changes several specification decisions.
What is the difference between the shell and turnkey versions?
The shell is the completed weathertight structure with joinery, standard floor and roof insulation and foundation blocks, assembled on site. Turnkey adds hot, cold and drainage pre-installation for the bathroom and a shower, toilet and sink kit fitted. Electrical work is separate in both cases and certified by a registered electrician.
