Garden Offices in the UK — Stylish, Insulated & Built to Last
Discover everything you need to know about creating the perfect garden office — from designs and pricing to planning rules and local installers.
What is a Garden Office?
As it sounds - if you work from home and space is limited in the house then a garden room could be the answer - your garden office. A fully insulated cabin with electricity, internet and even running water, somewhere you can lock yourself away and work undisturbed. However, garden rooms don't have to be offices, other common uses are a mini gym, a music studio, arts & crafts or a treatment room for physios, osteopaths and therapists for example. There's also the family to think of - a garden room could make a great play area for younger kids or a great den for teenagers to hang out in.
Benefits
The benefits of garden rooms are probably best highlighted by thinking about the alternatives - moving house for more space or building an extension on the house. Building a garden room is a lot less disruptive than having an extension (dust in the house, temporary exposure to the elements) and in most cases will work out cheaper. Like an extension the garden office will add value to your property. Read more about the garden room vs extension debate.
Cost
Taking a standard design garden cabin you can expect to pay roughly between £16,000 and £20,000 with no add-on extras. A bespoke design will inevitably cost more. Read more about how much a garden office costs in London.
Planning permission
Planning permission may not be required depending on how much of your total garden will be taken up by the building and how close it is to the boundary of your garden. More details on planning permission for garden offices here.
