The Shack at Mottistone Manor Isle of Wight The first Modern Movement Building aquired by the National Trust. This little building, about to be restored after recent use as a garden shed, was actually a tiny, perfect Art Deco home given a full page in Country Life in 1934 when it was built by Paul Paget and John Seely who both went on to become famous architects and designers. It's in the grounds of Mottistone Manor on the Isle of WIght. The Shack was originally built and housed in Freshwater elsewhere on the island and moved to Mottistone in 1938. It was designed as a country retreat with all mod cons, 1930s style. It resembles a two-berth cabin on a boat, with matching bunk beds, wardrobes, desks and chairs. Hidden away behind panelling is a cooker, sink and fridge and there is even a small en-suite shower room. 22 May 1998 Picture by Roger Bamber
