Blackdown Shepherd Huts are handmade in Ilminster, Somerset, by a small team of craftspeople. Each hut takes around 600 hours to complete, built on a solid oak chassis with cast iron wheels from a local foundry. The Meridian Workspace is their purpose built home office model, available in three lengths from 14ft to 18ft, designed for professionals who want a self contained working environment in the garden without a permanent structure.
This is the premium end of the shepherd hut market. Oak floors, full electrics, and interior decoration are included as standard. The build quality and material specification put Blackdown in a different category from the growing number of budget hut makers. Prices reflect that: the Meridian starts above £25,000 plus VAT. For anyone who has considered and rejected the standard insulated garden office, this is the alternative with real craft behind it.
We love the 600 hour build time. Every hut is genuinely handmade, with an oak chassis and cast iron wheels that will outlast most garden buildings by decades.
