Generations of Exceptional
Craftsmanship
If you travel along a B-road in Sussex and turn off into a small private lane at eight o’clock in the morning, you understand very quickly why people slow down.
The sun is low. It skims across the fields and hits the windscreen at just the wrong angle. You pull the visor down because you can’t see a thing. That early light, the stillness, the sense that the day hasn’t yet been claimed.
The lane narrows. Hedges lean in. Then you turn right, off the lane and onto a track that tells you immediately whether your vehicle belongs there.
By now the sun has dropped behind the trees. The glare eases. Light comes in fragments instead — broken by branches, flickering across a pond beside the track. It feels calmer here. Sheltered. Removed.
And then you see it.
Stone and brick at the base, feather‑edge boarding above, and a slate roof that sat slightly higgledy‑piggledy, shifting and settling with the wind year after year. It had presence without asking for attention.
Even now, I keep it looking a little derelict on purpose. it preserves the quiet. Some places do their best work when they are left alone.
At first glance it looks like a derelict barn. Weathered timber. Slipped broken slates to the roof. A proper Sussex stone wall wrapping around it, patient and unmoved by time. There’s an old gate at the front. No latch you can rely on. You lift it by hand, step through, and swing it shut behind you.
This is not just a workshop.
It’s where I started.
This is where the idea stopped being a thought and became something physical. Where a business began before it had a name. Where I started building shepherd’s huts — places people will stay, rest, work, celebrate, escape to. Huts that sit in gardens, woods, in fields, at the edge of everyday life. Places made to be used, not just to shown off.
Everything here is made from scratch. By hand. With a small team I’ve gathered carefully over time. People who understand that detail matters. That quality matters. That doing something properly is never wasted effort.
This is where the dreams are made — not the kind you talk about, but the kind you build.
And this is where I started my business.
This is Elkham.
