Popular Dolls’ House Emporium building project Amber House is now available in kit form for the very first time!

Best-known as the perfect solution for collectors who want a quick-start to their hobby, it will continue to be available fully painted outside and wallpapered inside, so you can get going inside an hour.

But now The Dolls House Emporium is offering more flexibility so you can start from scratch and put your own stamp on this wonderfully versatile property, for under £100.

You could follow the romanticism of the Brontë Parsonage like we did!

The six-room house conjures up thoughts of the Brontë sisters’ house at Howarth, in Yorkshire, where they produced some of their finest work more than 150 years ago.

It’s a homely and atmospheric Georgian building in a village set in the wild moorland beyond. The museum there today is full of their furniture, clothes and some personal possessions, which we have imagined in 1:12 scale for this project illustration.

The young sisters lived at The Parsonage between 1820 and 1861. Charlotte’s novel Jane Eyre (1847), Emily’s Wuthering Heights (1847), and Anne’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) were written in this house. They remain some of the best-loved books in the English language.

Whichever format you choose for Amber House – kit form, fully-finished or as a built house – with six rooms on three floors you can select furniture and accessories to suit your mood.

You could make it bright and funky, or set your creativity free on a personal interior design scheme: It is an ideal starter for the young collector or beginner and collectors have turned Amber House into modern or period properties with interiors to match.
