Timber cladding is eye bogglingly expensive just now, and getting more so.
You could try composite or metal cladding.
It might still be worth cladding the sides and back, if only to protect the skin - OSB has only a few months of rain protection in it. Even feather edge nailed straight on to it would give it lot of protection.

related to the above - I was going to clad the front (only visible) face but doing some research am not 100% sure. What other options do I have to finish the front? there will be large double glazed wooden french doors in the middle of the front wall
