Purton Barn Woodcrafts & Shepherd Huts

Purton Barn Woodcrafts & Shepherd Huts We create beautiful shepherd huts and unique wooden living spaces. Established 2012, follow for inspiration, our latest projects and more.

Everything we make uses reclaimed materials for sustainable new buildings that come with built-in character. Hi, we're a team of skilled carpenters and traditional craftsman creating unique wooden buildings and specialising in complete-package shepherd huts. Senior project manager Cristian has many years’ experience working with wood; from small restoration projects right up to full construction a

nd fit-out of large oak frame two store buildings. We construct, fit out and finish unique four-season Shepherd huts with full accommodation with a range of exterior and interior finishes. You can see some of our projects in the photos on this page, huts are made as one-off unique styles and also customised to your own layout and design. Furniture, bathroom and kitchen elements are all custom fitted and we take pride in creating something that is both beautiful and well-made at every stage. Electrics are professionally installed and signed off, and huts are supplied ready to connect to water and drainage. Shepherd huts have become a wonderful hideaway, a holiday rental or a private place to read, relax and think. They can be located in a shady corner for a cosy retreat or in an open spot with a view for an on-site holiday house. If you are interested please message or call to discuss currently available huts and availability for new commissions.

Little Greene Aquamarine Light on this one and just wow!

We use premium paint because the finish is the first thing a guest sees and the last thing that fails. Intelligent Exterior Eggshell holds up to a Wiltshire winter and still looks like this in year five.

Ten weeks from deposit. Built to last ten years and then some.

The most asked question from clients is "Will your huts be warm enough in the winter?"

The answer is yes! All of our huts come with underfloor heating and are properly insulated to withstand the unpredictable British weather.

Modern insulation, double glazed windows, and solid timber or corrugated metal cladding to seal out the wind and rain.

Say hello to Cam πŸ‘‹ one of our hut builders here at Purton Barn.

Doesn't say much (even less since West Ham dropped to the Championship πŸ˜‚), but he's always graftin' and gives 100% on every hut that comes through the workshop. Oh, and he's partial to a cider or two once the job's done.

Swipe through to get to know him a bit better πŸ‘‰

Farming margins are getting tighter every year. BPS is gone, input costs aren't coming down, and most farms are being told to diversify without being told how.

So we're offering something free.

An Acres to Income assessment. We look at your land and tell you honestly whether glamping accommodation stacks up on it, and what it would take to get there.

What you get:

Site and land assessment, which corner of your ground actually works and which doesn't
Planning potential, what you're realistically likely to get through
Preparing for your hut, services, access, groundworks
Indicative costs and potential income, real numbers from real sites

No obligation and no sales pitch. If your land isn't right for it, we'll tell you that too. We'd rather be straight with you than sell you a hut that sits empty.

We build shepherd huts in Wiltshire and we've helped farms across the country turn a spare paddock into a second income while they carry on farming.

Drop us a DM or comment ACRES and we'll get one booked in.

Apprentice update: two weeks in with Toby πŸ‘Š

This fortnight Toby has been on insulation, learning why a well built hut starts from the base up.

Cutting, fitting and securing the insulation boards between the joists, making sure every gap is sealed before the floor goes down.

It's not the glamorous bit, but it's the bit that keeps a hut warm, quiet and cheap to run all year round. Get it wrong here and you feel it every winter.

Plenty learnt. Plenty more to go.

We'll be posting Toby's progress every two weeks, so give us a follow to watch him go from apprentice to hut builder.
