Storyopen FarmsteadX 28 Agricultural Mobile Home — Rural Worker Accommodation Edition

The Storyopen FarmsteadX 28 Agricultural Mobile Home is purpose-designed for agricultural, horticultural, and rural estate applications where a permanent, relocatable, and planning-compliant worker accommodation unit is required on or adjacent to an active agricultural holding. Built to satisfy the specific requirements of agricultural occupancy conditions, temporary permitted development agricultural worker dwellings, and rural exception site planning applications, the FarmsteadX 28 delivers the structural robustness, weather resistance, and independent utility capability that working farm environments demand from accommodation that must function reliably in conditions that would challenge standard residential mobile home construction.

The external specification is engineered for agricultural site exposure: a hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated chassis with mud-terrain tyre options for movement across unpaved farm tracks, a vertical-board steel cladding system in agricultural green or grey that is impact-resistant to light machinery contact, a standing-seam metal roof with anti-drumming insulation layer providing weather protection under heavy rainfall without the noise disruption that thin steel roofs produce, and an IP65-rated external socket array for work equipment connection without running extension cables across muddy yard surfaces.

The 28-square-metre floor plan is configured for two-person occupancy with individual sleeping spaces: a twin bedroom with individual 900mm bed platforms and personal storage lockers, a dedicated drying room with clothes rail, boot rack, and 1.5kW wall-mounted infrared heater for drying workwear, a functional kitchen with commercial-specification stainless steel worktops and easy-clean splashback panels, and a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, WC, and wash basin. Water supply options include mains connection, bowser-fed tank with 12V pump, and rainwater harvesting system depending on site availability. Electrical supply is available in 32A single-phase shore power or standalone 2,000Wh solar battery configuration.

Storyopen provides a full agricultural planning documentation pack with every FarmsteadX 28 covering functional need evidence templates, design and access statement proformas, and structural calculations suitable for submission to rural planning authorities across England, Scotland, and Wales.
