Architecture
A Writer's Retreat

We all have a book in us, or so we are told, but do we all have a quiet, secluded garden retreat to write it in?
Man and Superman, Major Barbara and Pygmalion are all books written by George Bernard Shaw from his revolving summer house in his garden at Ayot St.Lawrence, Hertfordshire.
So that's what we are all needing, well fear not, because Scotts of Thrapston have designed a writer's retreat inspired by the very hut at Shaw's Corner!
Inside this little bolt hole they have even included an upholstered day bed and a drop down writing table directly below the window to catch the best daylight! The hut exudes a wonderful paired-down romantic overtone, and reeks of bygone times, helped of course by the corrugated metal roof.
I am quite sure the words would just come tumbling out if I had one in the garden!
