I came across a shed today, 8x6m, brick built, with a slate roof, and a
chimney! Not a boiler or wood burning stove type thing, but a traditional
brick chimney. Any idea as to why someone would do that? It was seperate
from the house, by a distance of about 8m.

Presumably it's used as a workshop and it's handy
to be able to warm it in winter or rent it out etc.
