Farm diversification means earning from your land beyond traditional farming. A PrefabX modular home is a fully fitted modular building installed in 2 to 3 days that lets you do exactly that, whether as a holiday let earning around £37,000 a year, a farm office, staff accommodation or a farm shop, all for a fixed price with finance available.

Farm diversification with a modular home suits you if

  • You have spare land or an unused corner you want to make pay
  • You want a diversification project earning this season, not after a long build
  • You need staff or seasonal worker accommodation without the cost of a barn conversion
  • You want a relocatable asset you can move or resell, not a permanent commitment

Why a PrefabX farm diversification works

A holiday let that pays back fast

Run as an Airbnb or holiday let at around £150 a night and 68 percent occupancy, a modular home can gross roughly £37,000 a year and recover its cost in around a year.

Works for more than lets

The same building serves as a farm office, a farm shop, staff or seasonal worker accommodation, or a rural business unit. One shell, fitted for the job.

Built for an exposed rural site

A galvanised steel frame and an SGS tested, fully insulated envelope with a 50 year design life stand up to a working farm and an open, weather hit plot.

The range

The best modular home layouts for the farm

The Annexe makes a premium two bedroom holiday let, the Grand sleeps a whole family or a team of workers, and the Hub gives an open space to fit out as a farm shop, office or rural business unit.

Return on investment

Got some extra room? Fancy some extra income?

Run it as a holiday let or Airbnb and it can recover its cost in as little as a year. At £150 a night and 68 percent occupancy a two bedroom unit grosses around £37,200 a year. Pick a layout and model your own site.

The lowest entry cost in the range, so a compact glamping cabin or one bed let recovers its outlay fast.

Common questions

Farm Diversification questions, answered.

Some of the most reliable are holiday lets and glamping, farm offices or rural business units to rent out, staff and seasonal worker accommodation, and farm shops. A modular building suits all of these because it arrives fully fitted, installs in days and can be relocated if your plans change.

A well presented modular home let at around £150 a night and 68 percent occupancy grosses roughly £37,000 a year, and a larger three bedroom unit considerably more. On those figures the building can recover its cost in around a year and then become a steady income stream for the farm.

Often yes, though agricultural and rural sites have several routes, including permitted development rights and prior approval for some changes of use. It depends on the land, the use and your council, so we assess your site and support the application where it is needed.

Yes. Every PrefabX building can be financed through asset finance, hire purchase or leasing, which is well suited to a diversification project where the new income stream covers the repayments while you keep your working capital in the farm.
