Longton Nature Homes
The Range
Every nature home is handmade to order from sustainable cedar, larch, or oak, with stainless steel hardware throughout. Browse the full range below, or get in touch if you're after something specific.
Bird boxes
Four nest box designs built for the garden species that visit most, each with correctly sized entrance holes, drainage, and ventilation.
Apex bird box
Our steepest roofline, giving extra headroom inside and the sharpest rain runoff. Available with a 25mm entrance for blue, coal and marsh tits, or a 32mm entrance which also suits great tits, house sparrows and nuthatches.
Classic bird box
Our original, best-selling design — a traditional gable roof and proportions that suit most gardens. Available with a 25mm entrance for blue, coal and marsh tits, or a 32mm entrance which also suits great tits, house sparrows and nuthatches.
Open-fronted box
A wide, low opening rather than a round hole — the design robins and wrens prefer, tucked somewhere sheltered and covered.
Swift box
Cedar body with a roof made from recycled plastic board (Stokbord), and a hole size and shape designed specifically for swifts. Mounted high under the eaves, with a hand-turned oak nesting cup included. Built to RSPB specifications.
EnquireBat boxes
Built to established bat conservation designs, with a narrow entry slot into the roosting chamber, and rough-sawn timber that bats can grip.
Single chamber
One roosting chamber with a narrow 20mm entry slot — a compact box suited to most gardens and boundary trees.
Double chamber
Two separate roosting chambers, each with a narrow 20mm entry slot, offering more capacity within one box.
Bee & insect homes
Homes for solitary bees and overwintering insects, with cavities sized for the species that use them.
Bee block
Carefully crafted from a solid larch block. Holes of 6mm or 8mm diameter provide nesting locations for UK solitary bee species. Reclaimed slate roof provides rain protection.
Solitary bee house
A dense block of bamboo tubes in mixed diameters, packed tight behind a pitched roof for maximum nesting cavities.
Hedgehog homes
Low tunnel-entrance shelters at ground level, giving hedgehogs a safe, weatherproof place to nest, feed and hibernate.
Hedgehog home
A low, ground-level shelter with a tunnel entrance, built from the same sustainable timber and stainless steel hardware as the rest of the range.
EnquireButterfly houses
A narrow-slotted shelter giving butterflies somewhere safe to rest and feed, protected from predators.
Butterfly house
Narrow-slotted shelter giving butterflies somewhere safe to rest and feed, protected from predators. Choose cedar for a warmer tone with natural resistance to damp and rot, or oak for our most durable, hard-wearing option.
