LIVING IT UP WITH A CINEMA AND HOT TUB

WeNDy IrvIN-brabeN, 51, lives with her husband David, 52, a computer gaming entrepreneur, and two sons in a 6,000 sq ft prefab by the river cam near cambridge. she says: FROM a fully soundproofed cinema room to a spectacular staircase, every element of our home is perfect. Because it’s a prefab, we were able to tick every box on our wish list.

We chose to build it with WeberHaus and were very involved in the design process. We went to their German headquarters to go through every tiny detail.

It took two-and-a-half years to finish and in December 2014 we moved in.

I’m reluctant to say how much it all cost, but basic WeberHaus prices start at £435,000 for a five-bedroom home of just over 2,000 sq ft. Ours is three times larger.

It arrived on 17 lorries in April 2014 and took just nine days for the shell to go up — it was incredible to see rooms forming in front of you — and then nine months to fit it out internally.

As well as the staircase — which cost £60,000 — we also have a designer kitchen, an indoor sauna and hot tub by the swimming pool. It’s my forever house. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
