Just popping down to the shed dear (with its hitech pub touchscreen jukeboxes pool table and home cinema)

Shed sweet shed: Jez Walter with the pool table in his garden retreat. It includes a bar, sound-proofed walls, home cinema and games consoles

He has even sound-proofed the shed at his home in Belgrave, Leicester, so he doesn"t disturb his neighbours with late night lock-ins.

Along with a well-stocked bar, his shed also boasts a pool table, dartboard, top-of-the-range eight-seat sofa and Nintendo Wii.

Father-of-two Mr Walter said: "To be honest we do all tend to use it a lot.

"Sometimes we"ll even sit in their together as a family rather than spend time in the house.

Pimped up shed: Jez Walter spent £15,000 turning his garden shed into a luxury retreat with a pool table, bar, home cinema and jukebox

"We"ve got wireless headphones so if one person is watching television, someone else can listen to music.

"My kids probably won"t want to leave home until they"re about 40 because they love it so much.

"We have people round for parties quite a lot and because it"s soundproofed it doesn"t matter how loud we are.

"We also have a veranda so it"s a great place to sit during the summer time."

Mr Walter originally built the shed as an office but then changed his mind to make a hi-tech family play room for his wife Lisa, 44, and their two children Simon, 20, and Jess, 18.

He has entered it into a competition to find the most innovative shed with a £1

,000 top prize.
