Providing a space to sleep, study, relax and reflect, a shepherd’s hut made by
master hut maker, Plankbridge, can give students the independence they need
when they return home from university for the holidays.
Ideal as a guest room for the rest
of the year, during academic
breaks a shepherd’s hut can
be transformed into a blissful
bolthole, allowing students to
enjoy all the comforts of the
family home while maintaining
their sense of newfound freedom.
A hut for all seasons, complete
with a wood burning stove and
240v electrics, the timeless 12’
by 6’6” Victorian footprint with its
34
corrugated iron exterior continues to
be reimagined for the modern world.
The new outdoor retreat can even
offer parents the freedom to make
more of their own homes, now able
to convert the old bedroom into an
office, gym or en suite bathroom.
Following graduation, the options are
endless with these uniquely versatile
and mobile shelters, enabling parents
to provide children with a living
space while their first homes are
found or allow them to take the
huts with them as they fly the nest.
The shepherd’s hut can even be
converted for the next generation,
as a playroom for grand
