Designer creates man's luxury garden shed

The ultimate shed for men who need a hi-tech retreat from their wives and girlfriends has been unveiled. Designers have created a sanctuary at the bottom of the garden complete with a wide screen TV, computer and video games.
The sumptuous shed also comes with leather-lined walls, and suede rugs on fashionable wooden flooring. The lucky owner can even sit back and relax in a leather chair with a massage facility or sip a bottle of beer chilled in a fridge built into the arm.
Only one of the special sheds has been created so far but anyone wanting to re-create it would need to spend in the region of £5,500.
According to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, an outbuilding which can be used as more than simply a potting shed can add 5% to the value of the house.
The chic shed was created by designer Bob Dare to publicise new wireless broadband technology from Telewest. The high-speed service allows users to surf the Internet without the need for leads as long as they are within 250 metres of a special set-top box in the house.
Mr Dare started with a £600 shed available from DIY stores and then spent almost £1,400 on the interior decorations and furnishings.
Finally came a La-Z-Boy chair with built-in beer cooler and back massage function with a price tag of £1,100.
