Couple’s fake garage home

A COUPLE who lived for four years in a house they disguised as a garage have been ordered out of it.

Jackie Shearsby, 55, and Peter Hickinbotham, 68, built the two-bed home in the garden of a derelict house they had bought.

A fake double garage door on the front wall was “deliberate concealment”, magistrates decided.

The couple from Long Itchington, Warks, were told to pay Stratford-onAvon District Council £7,145 court costs and turn the home back to a garage.
