Cottage was built in 1950
Roald Dahl's family launched a campaign to save the cabin, where the author wrote at the end of many of his most popular stories.
The small structure, built in the 1950's in the garden of Dahl, Buckinghamshire, remains as he left when he died in 1990.
But his family says he is in imminent danger of collapse due to decay.
They hope to raise £ 500,000 to move it, piece by piece, by Roald Dahl Museum, where he wrote classics like Charlie preserved.Enduring and the Chocolate Factory and the twits in a hut, which Dahl described his "little nest".
Since his death, was visited by friends, relatives and visitors to your home.
Writing to room contains a lot of elements in Dahl loved to be around, when he also worked in a huge ball made of soft paper wrappers, a favorite wing-backed chair and lined yellow pads were shipped in the United States.
Exceptionally, it contained the office - the author is writing the balance board in her lap, with the support of a roll of corrugated cardboard, scratching with a pencil HB novels.
He sat in an old armchair, formerly owned by his mother. It 'been adapted to support the back, which was often the pain of war wounds of the world.
When writing, he rested his feet suitcase, which covers the sleeping bag when they got cold
"Important''Terribly terribly important"
Brick and polystyrene hangar, while Dahl was inspired to build after a visit to Dylan Thomas's writing shed at Laugharne, has now fallen into disrepair.
"Currently, no one can go to" Felicity Dahl's widow told the BBC.
"Can you imagine the millions who want? It's terribly important to share with everyone for many generations to come."
We hope that the structure is transferred Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre by March of next year.
The idea came from the author's young son, Luke Kelly, who was inspired by the relocation of the studio of artist Francis Bacon at the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin.
Dahl's granddaughter, Sophie, said the family wanted to share the author of "gross magic and limitless imagination" with visitors.
Another £ 500,000 will be needed for the museum to create an interactive exhibit to settle in a hut for visitors.
Criticism
However, the campaign has led some critics to suggest that the Dahl family should use their wealth to finance the project.
Amelia Foster, Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre, said the family had done "a very significant financial contribution" to the project.
"It seems that a lot of money," said Mrs Foster told the BBC.
"But we're not just moving, we must save him - that is, by necessity, expensive task.
"We want to make sure that the fans of Roald Dahl will be able to see the hut, and to do that, we really need to put effort and time."
