Man who built tiny 'eco-home' in person's back garden saves £600-a-month on bills

A man is saving hundreds of pounds a month after giving up living in a conventional house and moving into a tiny eco-home he built himself in a garden.

Chris Marsh has lived in tiny homes intermittently for the past five years. Last year the 40-year-old created his own miniature wooden house to fit in a back garden.

He told the Mirror his only outgoings are £150 a month, which he pays to the owner of the garden, and £80 a month on electricity, which allows him to leave his underfloor heating on for the entire day.
