Cottage with chimney (PC100831)

Price: £2,603 Including VAT, Delivery & Installation

This children's cottage playhouse is an asset to any garden. It has a central stable door with a diamond shape cut and a letterbox in it. Either side of the door is an opening glazed window with window box underneath, a great way to start the children gardening. Both of those windows have curtains fitted to them. The left hand side has shutters set low, these can be used to climb through (although we don't tell the children that) and are great for encouraging imaginative play. Both sides have a diamond shaped window in the apex. The roof has wooden cedar shingles on it and then has a chimney which is an lovely addition to the cottage feel. Internally the playhouse has a foldaway table and a foldaway shelf.

Specification of this Cottage with chimney

Floor - Ground

Your playhouse comes with a solid floor all ready to be laid onto a sub base, this can be shingle stones/concrete/paving slabs/tarmac/decking. The floor is constructed using 25mm x 50mmm tanolised bearers supporting an 18mm wbp external grade plywood floor: this is treated on the upper side with sadolin classic timber protection. Sandwiched between the bearers and plywood is a damp proof membrane that then wraps around the edge and sits under the playhouse side. The membrane is there to stop moisture coming up from the ground.

A soft floor is fitted to the ground floor of the playhouse once finished - this floor can be removed easily for cleaning.

Sides - Option 1

Whilst this is our option one build, it should not be confused with a “shed” type construction, as each one of our playhouses are hand built in our workshops in Herefordshire and we only use superior quality materials. Initially a framework is built using 50mm x 38mm redwood timber with rounded edges. To this we fix, using galvanised brads, good quality redwood shiplap timber; this makes the side panels. These panels are then sanded and treated on the outside using two coats of Sadolin wood preservative. These are then fitted together on site, a clear silicon seal is applied to all the corners.

Roof - Wood Shingles

The playhouse roof is built to withstand the English climate; 75mm x 50mm bearers are put across from side to side. Screwed to these bearers is 12mm external quality plywood covered with two layers of base waterproof membrane and then wooden cedar shingles, using galvanised staples. The felt is wrapped over the front and back and sealed behind the facia board; there is also a ridge board fitted along the top ridge, these boards can be either straight or shaped.
