Something to replace old outbuilding

I have a lovely stone-built outbuilding which I may have to have demolished for safety reasons. I am absolutely gutted as I fell in love with the building when I bought the house and I feel like its destroying part of the house's history.
I'm trying to get my head round this and starting to think what I could put there in its place. My husband wants a shed but I can't bear the thought of that although we do need to have some storage space. I'm currently looking at summerhouses online because at least they can be made to look more attractive than a boring shed.
My house is a Victorian terraced so I don't want anything too modern looking. So I'm looking for opinions from those of you who have summerhouses please. Do you use it as much as you thought you would? Do you also use it for storage? Would you choose the same again or do you wish you had chosen something completely different?

skills and a bit of imagination could restore/renovate/rebuild that and make you the most glorious potting shed/reading nook out of that. Love it 😍

Please let us know what you decide to do
Perhaps even if it does collapse, you can get the right builder [as Dove says] who can rebuild something you can use again. Perfect just as a store or a potting shed, or even just a feature wall and a bed for planting into.
