About small garden offices!
Good things come in small packages, and we couldn’t agree more! Small garden offices offer fantastic solutions that turn the cramped into cosy.
In the UK, the average garden size is 255 sqm, leaving a lot of us not a lot of space at all for an extension; however, small garden offices beautifully combat this. So, if you’re looking for a small garden office for your home, you will want to know these three key points.
3 things you need to know about small garden offices
1. How small can a garden office be?
Garden offices can be incredibly compact, with sizes starting as small as 2.5m x 2.5m! This footprint is equivalent to a small room or even a generous wardrobe space, making it possible to create a functional, efficient workspace even in a small garden.
Even with limited garden space, a small office can enhance productivity, provide a private work sanctuary, and improve your work-life balance by reducing work intrusions into family or leisure areas.
2. Do small garden offices need planning permission?
Small garden offices generally don’t require planning permission, which makes them an attractive and accessible solution for most homeowners. Because the height of the garden room doesn’t exceed 2.5m, it meets the requirements for your permitted development rights. This means you can have a small garden office without needing planning permission.
3. How much do small garden offices cost?
The cost of a small garden office varies widely based on the materials, design, and added features but typically ranges between £11,735 and £24,165. This means you’ll be sure to find a garden office that not only meets your small size requirements but your budget, too!
Why choose Small Garden Offices?
1. Better Work/life balance
A small garden office lets you keep your home and work life completely separate. The benefits of keeping the two separate will be felt not only by you but by the rest of your household, too. When you are finished at the end of the day, you can close the doors behind you and relax at home without the temptation to continue working when you should be spending time with your family.
2. Private & professional
As a completely detached room away from the house, your small garden office is a space to focus and work in peace and quiet. No more will you need to worry about someone in your household walking in or making noise during a meeting. You have complete control of the environment. This also gives your family a break too, not having to tiptoe around your home office during the day.
3. Insulated for year-round use
We use only premium-grade materials to insulate our garden buildings. The finished result is a warm, dry and breathable space that is as comfortable as a room in your home.
4. Built in 1-5 days
Small garden offices only take 1-5 days to install, depending on your chosen options. This causes minimal disruption to your life – you will barely notice we are there!
5. Fully transparent pricing & process
We don’t believe in hiding the facts and not being clear about how much your small garden office project will cost. This is why we have a transparent and fully inclusive pricing policy. Our prices are clearly listed in our brochure and on our website, which always includes as many of the ‘essentials’ as we can. We also provide a fully inclusive quote specific to your project following your free design consultation or showroom visit.
