If you're looking for a really special gift for your favourite little one then you can't get much better than a Le Toy Van Dolls House. They really are a bit special and they are some of the most popular dolls' houses available and are so well made they will be more than likely passed down as family heirlooms!
Le Toy Van are one of the world’s finest wooden toy producers. All their toys are designed here in the UK and manufactured in their factory in Indonesia which they regularly visit to help maintain quality control and to ensure that best working practices are adhered to. They also use wood from environmentally friendly replanted forestry which means that any trees that are used for their toys’ production is replanted in equal measure. So not only are they beautiful toys, they also tick all the boxes in terms of the environment and the ethical considerations of the workforce they employ.
Le Toy Van Dolls Houses are world renowned for their quality and if you’ve decided that you are going to push the boat out a little for the little person in your life then we’ve come up with the definitive guide to the most popular of their range of wonderful dolls’ houses.

2) Sophie’s House
This is one of our customers’ most popular dolls’ houses. Just one glimpse of it and you’ll see why:
The shutter, front door and the cute window boxes make it a feast for little eyes even before the house is opened up to reveal a beautifully decorated interior which has three storeys, a ground floor with kitchen and living room, a first floor with bedroom and bathroom and a delightful attic room which can be accessed by removing the front of the roof.
The Le Toy Van Sophie’s House comes unfurnished and currently retails for just under £95* but there is a wonderful range of Le Toy Van Daisy Lane Dolls’ House Furniture to choose from to furnish the house to make it a home fit for a princess! You may also wish to park Sophie’s Car outside the house.
Dimensions: W610mm x D350mm x H670mm

3) Mayberry Manor
The Le Toy Van Mayberry Manor is a more recent addition to the dolls’ house collection from Le Toy Van. It has a more traditional look to it but is no less as striking as the Sophie’s House model. It has a quintessentially English feel to it, with its bay windows, window boxes and stylish front door:
Once again, it’s wonderfully decorated inside and out and has three storeys, a ground floor, first floor and attic. The really ingenious bit about this model is the rear section of the roof, which, when removed (thus revealing the attic room), becomes a beautiful front garden when flipped over and placed in front of the house. This allows a little extra space for al fresco dining or for keeping pets.
The interior is lavish as one would expect from a fine English country home and no detail has been spared in its decoration:
The furniture is not included in the basic price of the Mayberry Manor (currently £112.95*) but the Daisy Lane range from Le Toy Van compliments the house beautifully. This is an absolute cracker of a dolls’ house and is one of those toys that childhood memories are made of. You may also wish to add the Pet Set to the front garden.
Dimensions: D370mm x H690mm x W610mm

4) Appleby House
This is yet another beautiful house from the Le toy Van range of dolls’ houses which has proved very popular and it’s not difficult to see why.
As with all other really popular Le Toy Van dolls’ houses, the window boxes on the side of the house are a really nice detail. Add to that the lovely apple blossom window shutters and the lovely traditional window frames and the Appleby is a winner before you open it up and see the wonderful décor inside:
The layout is not too dissimilar to the other premium dolls’ house from Le Toy Van - it’s an interior designer’s paradise for the dollies who will be lucky enough to be living there. Designed over three storeys, the house is perfect to accommodate the sumptuous Daisy Lane furniture which is Le Toy van’s flagship furniture range and will do any of these houses justice.
The Le Toy Van Appleby dolls’ house currently retails at a shade under £95* and, as with all our dolls’ houses, includes free delivery.
Dimensions: D350mm x H670mm x W610mm

5) Lavender House
Who could resist a dolls’ house which comes decorated with Wisteria gently curling around the arched front door? This beautiful dolls’ house has five front windows, all of which open inwards and are framed with outward-opening shutters. The ground floor and first floor have space for four separate rooms and the attic opens via the removable roof for even more play space.

Dimensions: W610mm x D350mm x H670mm.

6) Bay Tree House
Le Toy Van Bay Tree House has the feel of a Georgian townhouse, albeit in miniature! The front door is decorated with classical pillars on either side and, of course, two bay trees. The side of the house is flanked by windows and window boxes. Inside, two floors are separated by a central staircase while the attic is fully accessible via the removable roof.
As with all large Le Toy Van houses, we recommend Daisy Lane furniture and the Dolls’ House Play Mat to add even more fun to this brilliant wooden dolls’ house.
Dimensions: W610mm x D350mm x H670mm.

Although slightly smaller than the other more popular dolls’ houses from Le Toy Van, the Tutti Frutti dolls’ house includes furniture so is a lot of house for the money, currently at £79.95* delivered. It’s also one of the cutest houses that we sell and is on lots of children’s wish lists for Christmas. The theme of the house is a strawberry motif on green shutters and it has a white washed Mediterranean feel to it:
