Drover’s Hut
12ft x 8ft £17,000 + 5% VAT

Vintage Charm with Modern Flexibility

The Dover’s Hut is a genuine tribute to the traditional Victorian Shepherd’s Hut, crafted to capture its authentic appearance and spirit as closely as possible. Inspired by original designs that have stood the test of time, the Dover’s Hut carefully reproduces the classic dimensions, proportions, and layout that defined these iconic rural shelters.

Typically shorter in length, ranging between 12 and 18 feet, the Dover’s Hut is designed as a simple yet functional space. It evokes the charm of the past with basic but practical furnishings such as a cozy bed, a wood stove for warmth, and a handy desk, perfect for quiet moments or practical use.

Despite its historical inspiration, the Dover’s Hut offers full modern customisation. You can tailor its size, heating options, electricity, cladding style, doors, windows, and more, just as you would with any of our huts. This flexibility ensures it fits seamlessly with your lifestyle while preserving the look and feel of a traditional Shepherd’s Hut.

Whether used as a rustic guest retreat, a compact studio, or a unique garden hideaway, the Dover’s Hut combines timeless design with contemporary practicality, offering a cosy and authentic space that honours the past while meeting today’s needs.

Edward and the team at Heavens Gate have been great from the start of the order, through to delivery and now always on hand if we need tips and pointers. The quality of the hut is fantastic and we get so many compliments on cozy, warm and well finished it is. We are more than happy to advocate them if you’re thinking of a hut build.
