      A 12-year-old girl in Surrey gave her father £500 from her savings to build a mushroom-shaped house in their garden. Ben Swanborough created a two-storey hideaway featuring a trapdoor, stained-glass windows, a glass floor overlooking a stream and a glass roof for stargazing. The unusual structure went on to win the 2017 Shed of the Year competition.
