HISTORICAL NOTE After World War II, Britain was in desperate need of houses that could be built quickly to replace those that had been destroyed. The Swedish government gifted around 2400 timber-built homes in 1945/46 to thank the British for their support during the war. These Swedish 'flat-pack' homes were supplied in sections using tough Baltic pine and insulated with a natural felt made from sheep's wool which was designed to withstand the cold winters.  

SERVICES Mains electricity and water are connected to the property. There is no gas, and there is private drainage.
