BRITS now have the chance to live in a house fit for a Hollywood star but for a fraction of the price.
A family-run UK business is now selling tiny homes in a lavish finish for as little as £48,000.

CS Vanguard Park Homes are completely mobile, meaning they can be placed in a flexible number of spaces, depending on council permission.
While static homes have been popular among the Traveller community for years, the affordable abodes could also help people struggling to get on the ladder.
They could also be ideal for those keen to ‘live the high life’, without having to fork out for a pricey mortgage.
While you may think the homes will be poky, some designs are as wide as 60ft, which is more than twice the size of the average UK house.
The luxury pads – which take six months to construct – start in price at £48,000, and customers can customise the interior.
This includes choosing the bedroom number, kitchen look and layout.
After a consultation, which includes a workshop tour and design discussion, the business creates a tailored plan.
They also share the quotation for the design, with houses typically costing under £169,000.
The website states: “If you are happy to go ahead, we will offer you an available building slot and take a small deposit.”
The company advises that homeowners should contact local planning consultants to ensure there are no issues with the new home.
The last stage of the process is the delivery of the stylish home, and it is the customer’s responsibility to organise this and provide insurance.
The CS Vanguard Park Homes website added: “It is your responsibility to make sure there are no issues that may affect the delivery and siting process.
“Your home is checked and photographed before it is handed over to the delivery team.
“CS Vanguard Ltd except no responsibility for any damage caused during the delivery process.”

Some of the popular added extras that can be purchased include mirror televisions and air conditioning.
CS Vanguard Park Homes have racked up a large following on social media, with one video of the £169,000 55ft by 22ft three-bedroom Houghton House, catching people’s attention.

One fan wrote on their page: “Omg why [can’t] you be in the States. So many of us would purchase, me being first.”
Another added: “Listen this looks better than a closet in NYC for $2,300 a month. Spacious enough for me and mobile, [so] I can move wherever and whenever.”
Meanwhile, a third commented: “That’s a beautiful home. I wish I had one.”
Are tiny homes legal in the UK?
TINY houses can be in the UK regardless of whether they are on a trailer base or not. The legality of tiny houses is all to do with where it is and what you use it for.
According to Planning Geek, constructing a granny annexe in your garden usually means you’ll need planning permission, especially if it has a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.
This is because it’s seen as a separate living space rather than just an extension of your main home.
However, if you’re thinking about converting an existing outbuilding, like a garage, into a granny annexe or a tiny home, you might not need planning permission.
That said, it’s important to make sure the space doesn’t end up being a fully self-contained unit – for instance, if the converted area doesn’t include cooking facilities, it might not be classified as a separate dwelling.
It’s also worth noting that, while certain small outbuildings can be constructed under permitted development rights, the NAPC points out that this usually applies to structures like sheds or garages, rather than self-contained annexes.
According to The Tiny Housing, a tiny home on wheels must not exceed 2.55 meters in width to be road-legal in the UK. Also, with a standard car licence, the length cannot be more than seven meters.
While tiny homes offer an alternative living solution, they must comply with local planning and building regulations.
Always check with your local council to ensure compliance with all regulations.
