Crafted in the UK with 12mm shiplap cladding and a 34mm frame, this playhouse ensures exceptional strength and durability. The reverse apex roof includes a dormer window and is covered with weatherproof felt. With safety-compliant features and FSC®-certified wood, this playhouse promises endless hours of imaginative play.
Unmatched Craftsmanship and Design
The Shire Cottage Playhouse is constructed from high-quality, sustainable materials. The 12mm shiplap cladding provides a robust exterior, while the 34mm frame ensures structural integrity. The roof and floor are made from 12mm tongue and groove wood, offering superior durability. The reverse apex roof, complete with a dormer window, not only adds aesthetic appeal but also aids in rainwater runoff, thanks to its weatherproof felt cover.
Safety and Accessibility
Safety is a key consideration in the design of this playhouse. The door and windows are crafted using traditional joinery techniques. The door is fitted with a diamond-shaped window, a roller catch, and a daisy-design ring handle for easy access. A full-length safety hinge ensures safe operation, and antique-style dummy hinges provide decorative charm. The playhouse complies with BS EN 71 (CE) safety standards, making it a secure environment for children.
Innovative Interior Features
Inside, a wooden ladder leads to an upstairs bedroom, enclosed with a balustrade for added safety. The playhouse features five framed windows, allowing natural light to illuminate the interior. Four windows are fixed, while one is an opener, all made from shatterproof styrene, which is stronger and safer than traditional glass. Additional features include two window boxes and an air vent, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Sustainability and Longevity
The playhouse is built from FSC®-certified timber, ensuring the wood is sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests. It is dip treated to protect against rot and comes with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee, as well as a 1-year parts guarantee, contingent on proper assembly and maintenance. This eco-friendly approach not only supports environmental sustainability but also ensures the playhouse’s longevity.
Ease of Assembly and Customisation
Assembly is straightforward with the included instructions and installation kit. Delivered in a honey-brown timber colour due to the dip-treatment process, the playhouse can be customised with coloured wood preservative, allowing personalisation to suit any garden aesthetic. Free delivery is available to most UK addresses, adding convenience to the purchase.
