David Wraight Cottages & Transportable Homes
Love the look of a traditional villa but need a modern solution? Our villa-style kitset homes bring classic design and practical building together in one carefully curated package. Featuring 2.7m studs, verandas, decorative detailing, and timeless interiors, these homes offer the grace of yesteryear with the benefit of today’s building techniques.
Each home in our kitset villa range is over 200 square metres, offering spacious layouts and flexible living for modern lifestyles. At David Wraight Cottages, we’ve drawn on decades of experience to develop a selection of villa-inspired plans, all designed for efficient kitset delivery and on-site construction. A lot of the components are pre-cut and clearly labelled, with detailed plans and a comprehensive builder’s manual to guide your team every step of the way.
We also provide a thorough guide and estimate outlining what’s not included in the kit but is required to complete the home — and we’re happy to assist with organising some of those items, such as front-of-wall plumbing fittings and kitchen cabinetry.
Whether you’re building on a rural block or creating a standout home in town, our villa kitsets are crafted to impress — with quality materials, thoughtful layouts, and all the character you’ve come to expect from a DWC home.
