2 pieces of plywood, (or MDF), joined together at right angles with a batten so they form a letter L
A batten on the back wall and a corresponding batten on the floor so the L shape will turn upside down and sit on the wall batten and against the floor batten. Screw through the plywood into the battens to secure them or just leave them loose for easy removal.
Sand, prime and paint to whatever colour you desire.

Update. This is what I made. Priming and painting next. Wall edging strip to go on then job done. Thanks again for the guidance.

Piece of soffit and facia would have been easier, no painting and waterproof.

Yes, fascia and soffit and a bit of silicone is all the rage nowadays.
