5 best man caves (or she sheds) on the market right now
Here's how the Oxford Dictionary defines a man cave:
man cave
noun HUMOROUS
"a room or other part of a home used by a man as a place to relax and pursue hobbies away from the rest of the family.
"a man cave equipped with a pool table and pinball machine"
In other words, it's a place a bloke can get some peace and quiet, play with his toys and chew the fat with his mates.
