A garden shed has been mostly destroyed by a fire.

Two fire engines from Sheerness were sent to Charlock Drive, Minster, Sheppey, as the blaze ripped through at about 1.30pm.

The outbuilding, which measured two metres by five metres, was 70% damaged by the blaze.

The unit was being used as a home beauty business in a back garden.

Crew manager Andy Friday said: "The total contents was destroyed, such as a settee, furniture and beauty products.

"It was made out of cladding, timber and felt for the roof.

"It did create a lot of smoke."

The fire also spread to a nearby garage where the guttering was damaged.

Firefighters left at 2.14pm and the cause is thought to be due to an electrical fault.
