This prefabricated mansion, currently being marketed by Grantley Sales and Lettings with a price tag of £4.5 million (Dh20.9m), has as little in common with the types of prefabs erected across Europe. Courtesy Property House Marketing

The ultra-modern design means that the Lake House also comes with electric external shutters for those residents that like to retain a little privacy living in a glass house. Courtesy Property House Marketing

Complete with a cinema and a helicopter hangar, the wood-framed house appears to be made almost entirely of glass with floor to ceiling windows in almost every room. Courtesy Property House Marketing

Located near the village of Plaistow in the Sussex countryside, the house also includes its own landscaped grounds, an ancient bluebell woodland, a tennis court, an area suitable for paddocks and, of course, the rainbow trout lake after which the Lake House is named.

Ancillary buildings include a one-bedroom summer house, which can be used as staff accommodation, as well as a helicopter hangar, barn, a workshop and a garage to fit three cars. Courtesy Property House Marketing

It may be hard to believe but this modern, five-bedroom mansion in the UK’s West Sussex countryside – with its own helipad, staff accommodation and 21-acre garden – is actually a luxurious prefab.
