Off-grid in Style
The latest shepherds hut from Plain Huts has all their usual hallmarks – contemporary design, quality workmanship, and low maintenance – but is totally off-grid. Power for lights and charging devices is supplied via solar panels fitted to the roof. These take the curve of the tin and are an attractive addition rather than an eyesore. Inside, a welcoming hearth features a wood stove with an integral oven and, for those moments when guests don’t have the time to light a fire, there is a single gas hob set in an oak worktop.
The Plain Huts wet room offers a thermostatically controlled shower heated by LPG and a compost toilet topped with an oak bench style seat, while a storage cupboard at the back of the hut is perfect for sunshades, fishing rods etc. www.plainhuts.co.uk
