Sponsored post | Blackdown Shepherd Huts

Iona Bower June 24, 2020

Established in 2011, Blackdown Shepherd Huts lovingly design and build their bespoke hand-crafted living spaces from their workshop in the countryside town of Ilminster, Somerset.

From the outset, Blackdown have been inspired by the shepherd hut’s first creators in Victorian times, when the shepherd, farmer or gamekeeper would build their mobile space with their innate need for flexibility in mind. This inspiration is reflected in Blackdown’s range of designs, like their Modular Turnkey Hut, to name just one of their charming ‘flock’.

Crafted with locally sourced materials, this versatile space planted in your favourite spot in the garden or elsewhere, becomes a sanctuary of calm that brings the senses alive. A colour palette of your choice calms the soul with every glance, the smell of your freshly cut flowers acts as a natural diffuser whilst laying patiently in your hand-crafted kitchen area, ready to be arranged into a bouquet fit for the most important visitor - you.

The tranquil dining nook transforms with a dreamy wall-bed for a heavy head or two to land whilst looking up at the stars through the aptly named stargazer; this signature feature built into the curve of the roof provides a heavenly place to stay connected to the ever-changing nature of the outdoors from the warmth and comfort of the wall-bed. Perfect for dozing off whilst the inevitable mid-summer rain tickles the solid curved glass.

Blackdown Shepherd Huts believe that the balance you crave is in the flexibility of your space and are inspired by how such a discerning space can create a peaceful sanctuary that can meet a range of different needs. Whether you are a garden lover, home worker, family timer, or memory maker, let your sanctuary of balance and peace take shape with a Blackdown Shepherd Hut.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
