"The Shack" at The Mottistone Estate, Isle of Wight
The Shack is a tiny wooden cabin type sructure designed by architects John Seely and Paul Paget as their country office and retreat here at Mottistone Manor Garden. .They were friends who met at university and went on to form an architectural partnership in 1926. .John Seely (1899-1963) was the son of the 1st Lord Mottistone.
Inside it contains all mod cons, 1930s style. It resembles a two-berth cabin on a boat, with matching elevated bunk beds at each end, wardrobes, desks and chairs. Hidden away behind panelling is a cooker, sink and fridge and there is even a small en-suite shower room.
Unfortunately, I failed to get a decent exterior shot due to the number of people milling about. So I would refer you to the NT website. see link below.
