Liam and Hannah's Shepherd's Hut

Situated in a water meadow in north Dorset, rare breed farmers Liam and Hannah's 1930s shepherd’s hut was bought for just £5 almost 40 years ago, but it’s seen better days. Simon and the team help them to restore the rare hut and turn this originally humble dwelling into the perfect getaway.

Using mostly recycled materials foraged from the farm, Simon and carpenter Ian Tsang build a large field kitchen and dining space inspired by the design of the hut, while designers Verity Coleman and Sophie Dunn upcycle some of the many things self-confessed ‘womblers’ Liam and Hannah have accumulated over the years.

A visit to Woodman’s Wagon Treehouse set in eight acres of ancient woodland in Devon brings lots of inspiration – the handcrafted interior is built from recycled materials and upcycled furniture, and the outdoor shower gives Liam an idea for his own outdoor bathroom.
