Shepherd huts are incredibly versatile and suit a wide range of purposes, but no matter how you use it, you want your shepherd hut to be fully fitted with all the necessities.
At Greendown Shepherd Huts, we specialise in crafting premium shepherd huts to the highest standard. In this blog we explore some of the essential elements we advise incorporating into your hut before discussing the array of benefits a fully fitted shepherd hut provides.
A fully fitted shepherd hut comes with everything you need, built with quality and longevity in mind. Here are some of the many elements featured in our The Herdsman hut, fitted and furnished by professionals.
Heating Systems
The importance of effective insulation and heating solutions cannot be overstated, especially for all-year use. With underfloor heating, double glazed hardwood windows and a temperature control thermostat, our fully fitted huts are the perfect temperature regardless of time of year. You can even have a log burner in your hut, not only adding to the toasty temperature, but creating an authentic experience.
Kitchen
To be truly self-sufficient accommodation, a kitchen is key. Fitted with a fridge with box freezer, an integrated microwave oven, numerous cupboards and a small hob, our huts provide functional kitchen spaces. The sink, connected to a gas boiler, provides hot and cold water for ultimate ease.
Fitted Furniture
Oak is a beautiful building material which we love to use for fitted furniture. Not only does it look rustic and create countryside vibes, the continuation of material use adds to the overall shepherd hut effect. Fold away furniture, such as the dining table, is perfect for maximising space without compromising essentials.
Bathroom
Fitting a bathroom is no mean feat, especially in the confines of a shepherd hut. Fortunately, our skilled team can provide fully fitted shepherd huts with bathrooms! Handling the more complicated aspects such as waste pipes and water heating, our experts create fully functional bathrooms. With hot running water and even the luxurious extra of heated towel rails, who can deny the appeal of a fully fitted shepherd hut bathroom?
Who can deny the stunning aesthetics of oak around the hut? The delight of a fitted bed? Or the relief of a hot shower within your own hut? A fully fitted shepherd hut gives you all the luxury of a hotel room, with the authenticity and skill of expert craftsmanship.
Perfect for B&B Owners
Having a fully fitted shepherd hut is essential if you are a B&B owner looking to offer a luxury get-away. Providing guests with a unique, self-contained retreat that blends comfort with rustic charm, its compact yet high-end design maximises space and revenue potential while enhancing your property’s appeal.
Expertly made and perfect for guest accommodation, the huts provided by Greendown Shepherd Huts are ready-made slices of heaven.
Speed
Once your fully fitted shepherd hut arrives, it’s just a matter of connecting the power, water, and waste essentials. With everything else already in place, setup is quick and straightforward, allowing you to start using your hut without the hassle of a lengthy installation process.
Professional Standard
While a DIY project can be tempting, a shepherd hut is best built by professionals to ensure safety, durability, and high-quality craftsmanship. Expert builders handle everything —from precise structural work and insulation to safely installing electrics and plumbing —ensuring your hut is built to last and ready for immediate use.
Room for Creativity
Just because a shepherd hut is fully fitted with a kitchen, bathroom, and fitted bed, it doesn’t mean there is no room for creativity. Having a fully fitted hut just means all the essentials are there to use, but you still have decorative control. Choose paint colours, patterned upholstery and unique decorations – the look and feel of your shepherd hut is still entirely up to you! You’ll be able to find inspiration in our shepherd hut interior design blog!
