Victorian-style outhouse

The Victorian-style outhouse is complete with a wood-burning stove and day bed, the Telegraph reported.

From the window of the hand-built Shepherd’s Hut, George, the first child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, can watch the windflower meadow being cut before sheep are allowed onto the land to graze and trample in the seeds.

Tourists allowed

Tourists can have a glimpse of the cottage during a guided tour of the 15-acre garden of Prince Charles’s Gloucestershire home.

But if one was not enough, Prince Charles has also refurbished the tree-house once played in by the Duke of Cambridge.

The wooden house, hidden away in an area of the gardens known as the stumpery, was originally installed for Prince William’s seventh birthday in 1989.
