Shepherd’s Hut FAQs
We know that choosing a bespoke shepherd’s hut is a big and exciting decision, and you probably have a few questions along the way. To help, we’ve gathered some of the ones we’re asked most often – so you can get a clear picture of what to expect
Think of it as your very own tailor-made retreat. Instead of a “one-size-fits-all” hut, we design and build something completely unique to you – from the layout and finishes to the little details that make it feel special.
What exactly is a bespoke shepherd’s hut?
What could I use a shepherd’s hut for?
That’s the beauty of them – the possibilities are endless! Many of our customers use theirs as guest accommodation, a cosy garden retreat, a creative studio, a home office, or even a luxury holiday let.
Every hut is handcrafted, so the timeline depends on your design. On average, most huts take 10–16 weeks from the moment you give us the go-ahead. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
How long will it take to build my hut?
Absolutely! This is the fun part. You’ll get to choose everything – from the layout and materials to the fixtures and finishing touches. Whether you’re dreaming of rustic charm or sleek modern style, we’ll bring it to life.
Can I really design my own hut?
Often, no – shepherd’s huts are classed as movable structures and can fall under permitted development. That said, rules do vary depending on where you live, so it’s always best to double-check with your local council.
Will I need planning permission?
Only the good stuff. We use sustainably sourced timber, a sturdy steel chassis, and top-quality insulation. Every detail is chosen with durability, comfort, and style in mind.
What materials do you use?
Yes – 100%! Our huts are fully insulated and can be fitted with heating options like a charming log burner, underfloor heating, or modern electric radiators. So whether it’s a frosty winter morning or a hot summer’s day, you’ll be comfortable.
Are they warm enough to use all year round?
Of course! We’ll deliver your hut and position it exactly where you want it. We’ll chat through access and ground prep beforehand to make sure everything goes smoothly on the day.
Do you deliver and set up the hut for me?
That really depends on your vision. We build huts from 3m up to 6.5m, a entry level hut bare would start from around £8,000 but the final price will reflect your chosen size, features, and finishes. We’ll give you a clear, detailed quote once we’ve talked through your ideas
How much will my shepherd’s hut cost?
Yes, we do. We’re here for you long after delivery day, offering advice on how to care for your hut and optional maintenance support if you’d like it. Our huts are built to last – but we’re always just a call away.
