Did an ally golem build recently, so I guess a house is doable, you'd need a lot more ST than the 15 a humanoid golem has, but between size (and I think a house could easily be SM+5) and No Manipulators, you should get a pretty good discount.

As for IT, golems already have IT Homogeneous and No Blood, not sure about No Eyes, I doubt a house would see through its windows, on the other hand, they represent windows quite well and it works for DR and stuff like that.

You'll need to decide if you want the house to have multiple legs, or just walk on two or slither/crawl, doesn't matter how, but to have it move at the speed of a horse you'll have to buy some bonus move anyway.

Golems are Unfazeable, so despite it's possible low Will (You start with IQ 10, but will probably lower it to 4-6 and may not want to buy will or per back to 10) it will definitely be far harder to panick or spook, it might actually do that to others when charging.
