12. A-Frame Ski Chalet, Essex (Category: Cabin/Summerhouse)
This A-Frame ski chalet isn’t in the Alps or Whistler, it is far closer to home in Essex.
It is owned by Alex Dodman, who said: ‘Last year, I built a swimming pool for my children at the top of the garden, so I decided to rip down my old shed, re-use all the wood and build this cabin up here.
‘My wife can sit on the porch with friends while the children and their friends can swim. The cabin has a TV with the internet for the children to enjoy.’
13. Bee Café Shed, Suffolk (Category: Nature’s Haven)
The Bee Café Shed in Suffolk was created by Paul Martin as a retirement project.
He said: ‘I started building bee cafes to help hungry and thirsty bees on their daily commute.
‘Bee cares are portable wooden planters loaded with bee-friendly flowers in bloom. They are placed to provide the pollen and nectar wherever they might need it to get from A to Bee without flagging.
‘My plan is to request each of my neighbours to give up one square foot of their garden to host a bee café so that we can eventually build a Bee corridor here in Great Bealings.
‘Inside is a place to relax, do some potting, listen to the bees, play a little chess and maybe explore the cocktail tray.’

15. Shepherds Rest (Category: Pub/Entertainment)
The Shepherds Rest shed in Wiltshire was built by John Sheppard, who said: ‘The shed is my man cave. I have had PTSD since the 70s and this is a place I can go to have some quiet time and to have some former Army mates round to talk about the good old days.
‘I watch the rugby in here and it is also a great place for my family to have friends round without the need to dress up to go out.’
