Unique Shepherd's Hut in the Cotswolds, pet friendly, a glorious retreat

Bertie's Shepherds Hut is a beautifully crafted, newly built Shepherds Hut located in a large south facing private paddock at the back of our house in the Cotswolds, on the edge of the Cotswold Water Park. There are views across to fields, often with deer roaming and grazing in the orchard, and a pond at the bottom of the field, full of wildlife and interest.

Bertie's Hut has been thoughtfully furnished and finished to a high standard, with a hand built and painted kitchen. The space is small but perfectly formed, cosy yet spacious to be in. There is a raised bed with storage beneath. The bed has a luxury Simba mattress, Dusk bedding and is incredibly comfy with views across the field to the pond from bed. The living space has a fully fitted kitchen, with an AEG oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer, belfast sink and plenty of storage to house the cooking utensils, plates, bowls etc should you need them. Alongside this there is a built in love seat, where you can sit to look out past the dovecote across the orchard. There is a breakfast bar and or workspace area, with plenty of electrical outlets, a Nespresso coffee machine, and Fermob comfy seats to sit on while enjoying the morning tea or coffee. Through a sliding door, there is a full shower room, with electric shower, sink, toilet, heated towel rail and shelving for towels, toiletries etc.

There is a Samsung Smart TV, Wifi provided by Gigaclear SuperFast Broadband, ethernet if needed, a smoke alarm, plinth heater, wall lights, LED lighting in the kitchen area and plenty of power outlets.

Outside, there is a Coronation Commemoration teak bench to rest weary bones, big grey chairs to sit by the firepit and enjoy a glass of something, and a Weber gas BBQ on a purpose built kitchen style area to prepare food before moving to the table and chairs to eat under the festoon lighting.
