The latest take on the tiny-home movement shows a two-floor maisonette style home available from just £65K – a first-time buyer’s dream in the UK.
Incredible images of The Goose, built on a gooseneck trailer, offers a surprisingly spacious interior with a lot of windows to flood the home with natural light.
The teeny home can sleep up to six people and comes with all of the amenities of a conventional home – just in a compact size.
The process to the new home all starts with a simple questionnaire explaining what type of home, when it’s wanted, how much you’re willing to spend and if you have a place to park it.
MailOnline has contacted the company and asked for information about how the costs breakdown, whether the £65,000 price covers the shipping and building the property.

‘A master bedroom located at the front of the home creates a separate space for privacy. Options to add a closet or two additional lofts makes this home ideal for larger families or lifestyles.
‘A full-size bathroom with modern amenities and the spacious living room are designed for function and style creating a relaxing and visually appealing space. The modern farmhouse exterior is simplistic yet undeniably attractive.’
The Goose can also be customised in various ways, or as the designers put it, you can ‘build your goose’.

Although the home is installed with LED lighting, the interior is well-lit during the day with an abundance of natural light. An all-white interior with multiple windows and optional skylights emits a fresh, healthy aesthetic.
The design allows for a beautifully open space that is enhanced by exposed wooden beams crossing the vaulted ceiling.
The tiny home’s layout puts the living room on one side and a separate master bedroom on the opposite side, elevated by a set of stairs. A large cook’s kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and has a fold-out table for dining. The Goose’s full-size bathroom puts the closet-like bathrooms typically found in tiny houses to shame.
Four-storey Victorian home is converted into FOURTEEN tiny apartments with cabin beds and mini bathroom
The Government standard for new homes states one-bed flats must be a minimum of 37 square metres but sneaky planners can get round these rules by converting older properties.
This four-storey Victorian terrace in London’s upmarket suburb of West Hampstead is the latest to receive the micro-apartment treatment.
Its rooms – previously used as a rental property – have been converted into 14 separate studio apartments which measure up at 18sq metres each, smaller than the size of a Travelodge hotel room.
It costs developers £600,000 to convert this house but the property owner could rake in as much as £15,000 a month in rental income. Serviced studio apartments in the area can go for as much as £1,300 a month.
They will still be out of reach for most millennials. The average 20-something in the UK is said to have less than £2,500 in savings, according to a Nationwide poll.
While the average studio flat in Hampstead is on the market for £371,000, designer Laura Encinas said the properties were created to be let out rather than sold.
She said: ‘These apartments are not for sale. They have been built to rent as part of a build to rent scheme. The whole property functions as one and no room can be sold individually.’
The space has been broken down into wood veneered panels which separate the sleeping area from the bathroom and kitchen area
High specification: The porcelain-tiled bathrooms come complete with a walk-in shower, square sink and stainless steel finishing
Floor plan: Designer Laura Encinas said: ‘To maximise space in each apartment and taking into consideration a very limited budget, Bicbloc decided to develop a compact and modular design that would be easily adapted in each apartment’
