Materials & Sustainability
We pride ourselves in using a variety of homegrown materials, which we endeavour to source as local to us as we can. For example British green oak and curved “wriggly” tin roof sheets.
We also aim to be environmentally conscious when sourcing products for our huts. By shopping locally, this helps to reduce our carbon footprint. As well as using materials such as sheep’s wool insulation, eco-design wood burning stoves and all water based paints, we are helping to do our bit for the planet.
What is a shepherd hut?
A shepherd hut is a type of small, rustic dwelling used for centuries in the British countryside. The huts are typically made from locally sourced materials such as timber, stone or brick and feature a slanted roof and small windows. Inside, there is usually one room with a fireplace for warmth, basic furniture and storage space. Shepherd huts are often used for short-term accommodation for farm workers or holiday-makers. They provide an economical way to stay in rural areas while still enjoying the comforts of home. Shepherd huts can be moved easily on trailers, allowing them to be placed in different locations close to where they were built. This makes them ideal for farmers who need extra housing during busy times such as shearing season.
Do shepherd huts need planning permission?
Whether or not a shepherd hut requires planning permission depends on a number of factors. If the hut is to be used permanently then it is likely that permission will be required. This would include any building works, such as installing plumbing or electricity, and any changes to the external appearance. The size of the hut will also affect whether planning permission is needed, as huts that are over 15m2 may require approval from the local council. Shepherd huts for temporary use such as camping holidays may not need planning permission depending on their location, but it is wise to check with the relevant authorities first. Ultimately, it is best to seek advice from a professional before building a shepherd hut to ensure that all regulations are adhered to.
What were shepherds huts used for?
Shepherds huts were traditionally used by shepherds as a mobile shelter while they were tending to their flocks of sheep. These huts were typically built from locally sourced materials, such as wood, stone and slate. The huts had a simple design that included a single room which was used for sleeping and storing supplies. They also had an attached lean-to for storing tools and equipment, such as crooks and scythes. The huts provided protection from the elements as well as security for the shepherd’s flock of sheep. Shepherds huts have been in use since medieval times and many still exist today in rural areas where sheep farming is still practiced. They are now often used as holiday homes or offices, providing an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life while still maintaining a link to the past.
How much is a shepherd hut to buy?
The cost of a shepherd hut can vary greatly depending on the size, level of customisation and quality of materials. Fully customising your shepherd hut with additional features, or working with an artisan builder for a unique design, can increase the price even more. Ultimately, the cost of a shepherd hut will depend on your specific needs and budget. Get in touch with us today for a no obligation quote.
Can you have bathrooms in them?
These huts are often used as holiday accommodation and glamping, but they do not always come with modern amenities such as bathrooms. Some shepherds huts may have composting toilets or other basic facilities. We are able to design and build your space to your requirements.
