DESCRIPTION
🇬🇧 The Only British-Made 5ft Rabbit Hutch on the Market

The 5ft Chartwell Double Rabbit Hutch is the only hutch of its kind manufactured right here in Britain, crafted from premium 10mm timber to a standard that imported alternatives simply can't rival. Built to withstand the full force of unpredictable British weather, this is a hutch you can trust to protect your rabbit year after year — not just for a season or two.

🏠 Generous Space and Clever Design for Happier Rabbits

With market-leading 5ft dimensions and extra-large sleeping quarters separated by a unique arched divider, your rabbit has the room they need to truly thrive. Thoughtful design details throughout — including a removable cleaning bar, a central panel for organising accessories, and a ramp with safety rails and secure trap door — make daily care straightforward and give your rabbit the safe, comfortable home they deserve.

🌿 Built with Your Rabbit's Safety in Mind

Every element of the Chartwell Double has been considered with rabbit welfare at its heart. The pet-safe waterbase treatment protects your rabbit from harmful chemicals while keeping the hutch weather-resistant and durable for the long term. And when your rabbit is ready for more space, optional run extensions let you expand their habitat whenever you choose — creating a setup that grows with them.

ABOUT THIS ITEM

PATRIOTIC QUALITY
Rest easy knowing your rabbit's home is the only hutch of its kind manufactured right here in Britain — built to standards that imported hutches simply can't match.

SUPERIOR COMFORT
Give your rabbit the room they genuinely need to thrive with market-leading 5ft dimensions — one of the most spacious rabbit hutches available, because a happy rabbit needs space to truly be a rabbit.

BUILT TO LAST
Constructed from premium 10mm timber, this hutch is engineered to withstand the unpredictable British weather season after season, so you won't be replacing it every couple of years.

ENHANCED LIVING
The extra-large sleeping quarters with a unique arched divider give your rabbit a proper private retreat — because even the most sociable bunny deserves a cosy corner to call their own.

SMART ORGANISATION
The innovative central panel design keeps your rabbit's accessories — hay racks, water bottles, and more — perfectly positioned and always within easy reach, keeping feeding and care routines simple and stress-free.

EFFORTLESS MAINTENANCE
The unique removable cleaning bar makes clearing out mess quick and straightforward, so daily hutch care fits easily into even the busiest routine.

COMPLETE PROTECTION
A thoughtfully designed ramp with safety rails and a secure trap door gives your rabbit the freedom to explore both levels safely, giving you complete peace of mind that they're always protected.

ECO-FRIENDLY SAFETY
Treated with a pet-safe waterbase finish, this hutch protects your rabbit from the elements without exposing them — or the environment — to harmful chemicals.

ROOM TO GROW
With optional run extensions available, you can expand your rabbit's living space whenever you're ready, creating the ultimate habitat that grows alongside your pet.

Both the hutch and run are fantastic

We purchased the 6ft Chartwell Double Rabbit Hutch along with the 6ft Heavy Duty Rabbit Run with Burrow Portal and Tunnel for our two rabbits.

Both the hutch and run are fantastic – excellent quality, very spacious for our bunnies, and easy to clean.

Thanks again, James!

Best hutches around

Best hutches and cat hideouts around I was led to believe when buying flat pack cages that they would all break in a month or so which is normally been the case.

But since using home and roost with them being A British made company everything Is a lot better quality all the panels are solid they are easy to put together but we definitely ordering more from you in the future❤️

We are extremely impressed with the service and products from Home & Roost. We were in urgent need of our new hutch, so upon speaking with customer service.

They arranged to send our hutch on an order separate to the rest of our ordered items, at no extra charge!.

All Round Great Company

I ordered the wrong hutch (I wanted a double but ordered the 2 tier) and also without realising I ordered the wrong size vinyl flooring.

The warehouse staff anticipated I had made a mistake with the flooring size and sent the one I needed.The after sales service was excellent with helping me get the hutch I wanted

Couldn’t fail this company

Their website, delivery, instructions everything was beyond perfect. Note, wood is very strong so you will need a small drill. Can do by screwdriver though not recommended.

Hutch is beautiful and especially the design. Definitely using this company over pets at home from now on, wish I knew of you guys earlier!

Great product and fantastic customer service

Brilliant to find a Made in Britain company. I can be pretty sure that the making processes will do least harm to the environment, help protect our wildlife and countryside, and support local UK businesses.

Something made in China probably fails to meet any ethical standards that we consider vital . Well done Home and Roost. I'll be back!

Solid well-made hutch

The order process was straightforward - initially, the hutch was shown as back-ordered, but it was fulfilled and dispatched earlier than the website said.

Regular updates for the delivery - so I was able to reschedule to a convenient date.

Good website with easy navigation

Good website with easy navigation and high quality products, love the tunnel concept and have opted to get the door on the hutch, just need to invest in the run and tunnel.

The quality is so much better than your traditional pet stores on the high street as Home and Roost use much higher quality materials from the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers!

How many Rabbits can I keep in the 5ft Chartwell Double Rabbit Hutch?

The 5ft Chartwell Double Rabbit Hutch can comfortably accommodate two rabbits. This allows them enough space to move around, stand up on their hind legs, and rest separately if they choose. However, to ensure their well-being, it's also crucial to provide them with additional space for exercise outside the hutch if possible.

One rabbit comfortably, or a bonded pair of small-to-medium rabbits who share their space happily. The two-level design gives a single rabbit plenty of room to move between the upstairs sleeping area and the downstairs play space, and a bonded pair will still have room to stretch out, hop, and rest together. For giant breeds (Continental Giants, French Lops) or two rabbits who need their own space, our 6ft hutches or our 6ft Two Tier "Separate Floors" model would be a better fit.

Is the hutch easy to assemble?

Assembling our hutch is designed to be a straightforward process. Each hutch comes with clear, step-by-step instructions that guide you through the setup. To facilitate assembly, we recommend using a basic electric drill and suggest assembling the hutch with a helper to handle the larger pieces more easily. We understand that assembly can be a bit of a project, so we include a few small treats in the package to keep your energy levels up while you work. Take your time, follow the instructions closely, and you’ll have your hutch ready for your furry friends in no time.

Easier than most people expect. The panels arrive pre-built with labelled parts and clear pictogram instructions — no head-scratching, no missing screws, no weekend lost to flat-pack frustration. Allow about 45 minutes with two people (it's 40kg of solid timber, so a second pair of hands makes it much simpler). All you need is a screwdriver or drill driver.

Will my rabbits chew through it?

No — we use 10mm thick timber on the sleeping doors and side panels for exactly that reason. Thin-panelled budget hutches get chewed to pieces in a matter of months, leaving gaps and weak spots. This one is hand-built in the UK with timber chosen to defeat even the most determined nibbler, so it stays solid season after season.

Is it secure against foxes?

Honestly — no hutch on earth is 100% fox-proof, and we'd never claim ours is. The real protection comes from giving your rabbits enough space to disappear. With a generous downstairs play area and a deep, enclosed sleeping space upstairs filled with proper bedding, your rabbits can burrow into the back of the sleeping area and stay completely hidden — just like they would in a wild burrow. A fox can't be tempted by what it can't see, hear, or smell. We back that up with heavy-duty galvanised weld mesh on the wire panels, secure bolt locks on every door, and 10mm timber side panels, and the raised legs stop foxes digging underneath. You can read more in our fox-proof hutch guide.

Is it waterproof?

It's highly weather-resistant, but we'd rather be straight with you — no wooden hutch is fully waterproof. The timber is hand-treated with a pet-safe, water-based bactericidal treatment that copes well with rain, frost, and damp British weather, and the raised legs stop ground moisture creeping up from below. For exposed gardens or year-round outdoor use, we'd recommend pairing it with our matching 5ft Chartwell Double Day Dry™ Rain Cover. Re-treating the wood once or twice a year between seasons keeps it in top condition for years to come.

How does the internal ramp work — and is it safe?

The internal ramp connects the upstairs sleeping area to the downstairs play space, with side safety rails to stop your rabbits slipping off the edge. There's also a ramp trap door at the top so you can close off the upper level when you need to — handy for cleaning, vet visits, settling in a nervous newcomer, or keeping a poorly rabbit downstairs while they recover. Most rabbits learn to use the ramp within hours and treat the trips up and down as part of their daily exercise.

How do I clean it?

The hutch has front-opening doors plus a removable cleaning bar at the door bottom — slide it out and you can sweep waste straight out without unloading the hutch. Wipe the inside down with a pet-safe disinfectant, refresh the bedding, and you're done in a few minutes. To make cleaning even quicker, our Kensington Floor Shield is a wipe-clean vinyl liner sized specifically for this hutch — it protects the timber underneath and saves you scrubbing.

Can I attach a run, or use the Burrow Portal upgrade?

Both options are available. You can attach one of our matching Chartwell runs to the hutch directly so your rabbits can hop straight out for exercise, or you can choose the Add Burrow Portal variant (+£20) at checkout, which fits a small access door to the side of the hutch so a tunnel can connect it to one of our Burrow Portal runs. The portal option is great if you want the run to sit a little distance from the hutch. Worth noting: the portal entry hole is 150mm across, so it may not suit particularly large bunnies — drop us a message if you're not sure whether your rabbit will fit.

Is there enough room for my rabbits to stretch out and stand up?

Yes. The downstairs play area gives 1416mm × 557mm of floor space for hopping and exploring, and the upstairs sleeping area is 480mm × 557mm with a 535mm internal height — enough for most adult rabbits to stand comfortably on their hind legs. If you've got a giant breed or a particularly tall lop, drop us a message before ordering and we'll help you check the dimensions.

What guarantee comes with it?

Every Chartwell hutch comes with our 90-day, no-quibble money-back guarantee plus a full 2-year warranty on all parts. If anything arrives damaged or fails in normal use, we'll sort it. We're a small UK family business — you'll always get a real human at the other end of the phone or email.
