The superior 12mm tongue and groove floor and matching roof provide outstanding durability. All joinery is executed using traditional, skilled techniques, with diamond-shaped windows and a decorative front door featuring antique-style dummy hinges. The door includes a roller catch, full-length safety hinge, and daisy-design ring handle for safe, easy access. All windows are crafted from shatterproof styrene, making this wooden playhouse exceptionally safe for children.

This children’s playhouse is dip treated, arriving in a natural honey-brown finish. The wood is not painted, allowing you to apply coloured wood preservative if desired. You’ll benefit from a superb 10-year anti-rot guarantee plus a 1-year parts guarantee. These guarantees are conditional on following manufacturer guidelines for assembly, usage, and retreatment.
Doors & Windows
The front door features a small diamond-shaped window and is fitted with safety-conscious hardware. Inside, five framed windows provide abundant natural light across both levels, with one window opener and an air vent ensuring good air circulation. The shatterproof styrene windows are far safer than conventional glass, and two ground floor windows include decorative boxes.
