I live in a small caravan and splashed loads on making it like a mediaeval castle – I just really love history | The Sun

THIS caravan is so special that it has its very own posh name – Purple Heart Manor. 

A female PHD student in English Literature had the home designed so she could live off-grid without compromising on her history-loving personality. 


D’Arcy at Acorn Tiny Homes shared a glimpse into the plush caravan he designed in collaboration with the owner – and people have dubbed it “home goals” and “gorgeous”.

It is meant to emulate the vibe of a mediaeval castle.

As the dwellers favourite colour is purple, it is the only hue seen throughout – bar a vibrant green moss wall in the bathroom.

She wanted it to become her full-time home, with D’Arcy describing it as an “oversized tiny house” at 530 sq ft.

The unique pad had a custom-made arched door “designed in a Tudor style” made from solid mahogany at a whopping eight feet tall to suit the theme.

As with most tiny homes, the storage is carefully designed to look good but be multi-functional.

“There is no such thing as too much storage for a tiny house,” D’Arcy quipped.  

As such, the chesterfield couch in the caravan’s living space has a built-in sofa-bed that was custom built to fit into the tiny home.

The coffee table also expands upwards to not take up too much floor space. 

The purple kitchen has a drop-down table top that folds away and a purple cast iron sink.

All of the kitchen devices, like the fridge and dishwasher, are solar powered so that the owner can live off grid if she wishes.

And despite its tiny size, the home also has a dedicated tea station.

Through a pocket door in the kitchen is the bathroom, which is also in purple and has a bathtub. 

“This Victorian-style vanity is obviously the most eye-catching statement,” D’Arcy said. “Next to the moss wall.

“And we wanted to include a make-up station for her as well.

“There’s a lot of the old world mixed in with the new. 

“It shouldn’t work, but it works just wonderfully.”

The three stairs leading up to the bedroom include their own storage.

The bedroom has a unique and angular shape but is still tall enough to stand up in, unlike most elevated bedrooms in tiny homes.
