Siberia Hut, Leatham Conservation Area
Siberia Hut is located there because of the natural river crossing with a broad gravel bottom.
It loses the sun early in the day due to the proximity of the steep hills, and in winter, it may receive little direct sun at all due to the mature trees to the north. But the name reflects the winter experience, rather than the summer.
On a river terrace with an outlook to conifer forest. Has had two original windows replaced with aluminium single-glazed frames, and one has been added to make the most of the light. At some point, a large porch was added. This is, in fact, a fairly large six-bunk hut.
