Heritage Corner Hipped – A Refined, Space‑Saving Summerhouse with a Classic Hipped Roof

The Heritage Corner Hipped brings timeless summerhouse charm into even the most compact garden spaces. Designed to nestle neatly into a corner, it combines a beautifully crafted hipped roof, flexible glazing and a graceful angled frontage to create a light, welcoming retreat that feels both traditional and effortlessly refined. It’s the perfect choice for reading, relaxing, crafting or simply enjoying a peaceful view of the garden.

Elegant Hipped Roof Design

The defining feature of this model is its classic hipped roof, giving the building a softer, more architectural silhouette. The multi‑sided roofline adds height, balance and a sense of craftsmanship that elevates the building from every angle.

Bright, Airy and Characterful

2 opening windows (top-hung) or 2 fixed summerhouse windows, allow natural light to pour in, creating a bright, uplifting interior. The glazed door offers garden views while maintaining the warm, traditional feel that makes the Heritage range so loved.

Premium Redwood Construction

Breckland buildings are crafted from Scandinavian Redwood Pine, a slow‑grown, denser timber that naturally offers greater durability and stability than cheaper whitewood alternatives. This means:

• Less seasonal movement
• A stronger, longer‑lasting structure
• A more premium finish

Redwood (if not pressure treated) requires annual maintenance with a solvent based preservative applied to the outside of the building every year – Add Pressure Treatment + Solvent Treatment to your order, to lower maintenance to every 6 – 8 years!

If painted finish selected – Check regularly for any chips or scratches and touch-up when needed, keep building clean and free from any debris, and repaint building every 6 – 8 years.  

Redwood has a desired service life of 25 years + with suitable maintenance.

Colour varies depending on treatment applied.

Guarantee

Breckland Garden Buildings come with a 12-month guarantee against faulty parts and workmanship, and 10 years against wood rot, providing the building is treated & maintained on a regular basis from the time of supply.

Treatment options available:

Pressure Treated & Solvent Treatment

Pressure treated timber is pressure treated by being held in a vacuum and impregnated with a preservative solution. This offers longer lasting protection against wood rot, fungal disease & insect attack.

Pressure treated timber is a low maintenance option – Once the timber has had its initial coating of a solvent based wood preservative (or a suitable wood protective coloured paint), the building will only need to be treated again approximately every 6 – 8 years, rather than on an annual basis. We can offer the first initial solvent treatment prior to delivery – please see price list.

Pressure treated timber has a light green/yellow colouration (if not solvent treated), and a desired life in excess of 25 years with suitable maintenance.

Solvent treatment (wood preservative) protects against wood rot and fungal disease and seals the building against moisture ingress. We recommend that this is applied as soon as possible after installation, although Pressure treated buildings will benefit from a few weeks before treatment or paint is applied, to allow the moisture levels in the timber to reduce, leading to a better finish.

If painted finish selected – Solvent treatment is not required to the whole building if a painted finish is selected. We would still recommend you select solvent treatment to floor and roof only, to ensure these areas are protected.  Check the paintwork regularly for any chips or scratches and touch-up when needed, keep building clean and free from any debris, and repaint building every 6 – 8 years.  

Installation & Base Requirements

We offer installation on Breckland buildings (location dependent), giving you a stress‑free experience from start to finish.

To enable installation, your building must sit on a flat, level, firm base made from paving slabs or concrete. The base should:

• Match the size of the building (can be larger, but never smaller) – please note that bases larger than the building can cause rainwater to build up around, and under the floor of the building, which can lead to the timber rotting. 
• Be completely flat & level to a spirit level standard, with no drainage slope
• Sit at least 2 inches above ground level to avoid ground water running underneath

** It is the customer’s responsibility to provide a suitable base for their building, with clear and safe access **

Clearance

We recommend 18″ clearance around the building for installation, airflow, and future maintenance. Breckland can work with as little as 8″ clearance as a minimum, but this must be stated on the order.
