The young woman said she had gotten out of a toxic relationship and decided to move into the shed while she saved money for her own home.
She said: “I recently ended a toxic relationship and moved back into my parents’ house. I live in a 3×4 shed with electricity and wifi.”
Although there was no toilet installed, the clever woman solved the problem by purchasing a camper toilet.
She continued: “I’m staying here for a year and saving for a container home.”
“This shed has humbled me,” she admitted. “I’ve gotten rid of so much stuff that I didn’t really need.”
Brandy also explained that she had to walk to the house to take a shower because there was no shower in the shed.
Despite some drawbacks, Brandy had managed to turn it into a cute home.
On one side of the shed was her double bed, fitted with a cute lilac bedding set, and her cat lay on top of it.
In the middle of the room she had hung a clothes rail that served as a curtain at night to hide her kitchen from view.
The kitchen itself had a fridge freezer, a small oven, a coffee maker and a sink.
On the left side she had a small dining table where she could sit.
The post shared on the Facebook group, Small-scale livingwhere it received over 8,000 likes and over 800 comments.
People praised her for putting herself first and making the little shed her home.
Someone wrote: “Awesome! Enjoy!”
Another commented: “I would love to live there, it’s beautiful. I pray for your financial freedom and happiness.”
“I absolutely love this space! Such amazing details,” wrote a third.
Are tiny houses legal in the UK?
TINY houses can be in the UK regardless of whether they are on a trailer or not. The legality of tiny houses depends on where they are and what you are using them for.
If you want to place your tiny house in the backyard of your home and the total size of your tiny house does not exceed 19.8m x 6.7m (65ft x 22ft), then there is good news! You do not need a building permit.
Tiny houses that fit within these dimensions and are built on a trailer base are legally classified as caravans. This means that you can legally park them on your property without needing a building permit.
If you plan to do this, you are legally required to use the tiny house only as additional living space, such as an office, gym or studio. However, you are not allowed to rent the space to a tenant.
For those of you who live on agricultural land, what is defined as curtilage can be complicated. In these cases, and in any circumstances where you are unsure, we recommend that you contact your local planning officer.
You can place a tiny house on your land as a temporary structure for 28 days. If you want to stay longer, we recommend you contact your local planning officer, as other permits are required.
