This little building was the first permanent structure built on a property just north of St Helens, approximately 40 years ago.It was initially a weekend shack, for the bloke to come (sometimes with a guest) and stay while fishing. After a number of years the owner decided to build a new, larger home at which stage he moved down and lived in this building (full time for a couple of years) while the main house was under construction.
It features a open wood fire, daylighting (through skylights), one fixed bed and one fold down bed, storage (for wood outside, in cupboards inside, and beneath the beds) and a phone line.
This simple and cosy little cabin has stood the test of time and is now one one of the most brilliant tool sheds around.
David, so glad you went out to poke around in this little building! I think its so wonderful, simple and charming, and am glad that they didn't take it down or alter it when the big house was done, but found fresh uses instead.

Yeah it is lovely isn't it. Like you said so simple and charming. I especially like the ceiling, which you can kind of see in one of these pics. Its almost church like in its quality of light, and structural expression. Very nice. Probably very functional also, for storage and hanging objects.
