Is there a British equivalent in architectural history to American cabins?

There's Henry II and Thomas Becket's visit to a Saxon hut in Becket (1964). It's not exactly a horror film, but it certainly would have been if the Saxon peasant family had been the protagonists....

While I can't speak to the horror movie genre, you will find occasional mention of such in British fiction: gamekeeper's cottages & crofter's huts, bothies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bothy and so on. In real life, there are even a number of abandoned stately homes: https://www.loveproperty.com/galleries/64516/the-incredible-secrets-of-13-abandoned-stately-homes?page=1

Also, the trope of the abandoned cabin in the US may be more fiction than reality. It's far more likely that any unoccupied "cabin" you might stumble across is really a vacation home.
