The latest news and insights from Premier Modular.
More than a decade after Premier Modular completed Manor House Muse, an exclusive residential development, one of the luxury apartments has returned to the market. Its appearance today tells an important story about the quality, durability and long-term value that modern modular construction can deliver.
Completed by Premier Modular for Ferriby Properties Limited, Manor House Mews was created within the grounds of a Grade II listed Georgian manor house. The challenge was to design a contemporary apartment building that complemented its historic surroundings while delivering a premium residential development.
The result was a two-storey building comprising four luxury apartments, completed using offsite construction in just eight weeks. Rather than “looking like a modular building”, the development features bespoke arched windows, a rustic brick exterior and carriage-house styling that blends seamlessly with the heritage setting.
Today, few people walking past would ever realise the building was manufactured offsite.
The fact that Manor House Mews continues to be seen as an attract modern property, appealing to buyers over a decade after completion reinforces an important message about permanent modular construction. It’s built to last and stand the test of time.
The apartment is currently being marketed at £325,000, positioned alongside other premium homes within North Ferriby’s competitive property market.
While every property’s value is influenced by wider housing market conditions, location and individual improvements, this development demonstrates that well-designed modular homes can remain highly desirable many years after completion. This demonstrates how good design, quality materials and precision manufacturing create homes that continue to perform for generations.
Perhaps the biggest compliment Manor House Mews receives is that nobody talks about how it was built.
Visitors see a carefully designed apartment building that complements a Grade II listed manor house. Buyers see spacious layouts, quality finishes and attractive surroundings.
They don’t see modules.
This reflects one of the biggest changes in modern offsite construction. Today’s permanent modular buildings are designed around architecture, performance and longevity, not around construction stereotypes.
As demand for faster, more sustainable housing continues to grow, developments like Manor House Mews provide real-world evidence that modular construction delivers far more than programme certainty.
It delivers homes that people continue to want to buy, live in and invest in years after completion.
More than ten years on, Manor House Mews isn’t simply standing the test of time.
It’s quietly proving that modern modular construction has been doing exactly that all along.
