Looking for some extra space? Consider building a garden room.

Garden houses aren’t new. Across the UK, you may find some log houses that were built over 800 years ago.

Spending some time in a garden room will create a sense of peace, calmness and solitude, allowing you to escape from the rigours of daily life – even if it’s for a few minutes.

Here are the top 3 reasons you will appreciate having a garden room.

An exclusive space for yourself

While an extension is typically part of the house, a garden room is a separate space that’s not attached to your home, affording you ample privacy.

Physically separating yourself from your household will have immense psychological benefits. Your garden room will become your go-to space when you want an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Read a book, write, work out, let loose, unleash your creative side or dream. In short, your garden room will serve as a space to relax, rejuvenate and recharge.

Enjoy the health benefits of nature

Research after research has shown that spending time outdoors is beneficial for our physical and mental health. Simply being one with nature can help reduce stress, blood pressure and anger while releasing muscle tension, allowing us to live longer and healthier.

A garden room allows you to reap the healing benefits of your garden all year round.

Imagine spending some time looking over your garden whether it’s raining or snowing outside. Be sure to incorporate some large windows that offer a good view of the garden and make the most of your garden room.

Your workplace

More than 4 million people work from home in the UK. Studies show the importance of having a separate space to work in. Not only does it boost efficiency and productivity, but it also encourages better sleep and boosts your well-being.

By using your garden room as your office, you can keep your work life separate from your home life and thrive in both roles efficiently.

No planning permission needed

As a garden room does not require plumbing, it is considered a permitted development.

This means you won’t have to worry about the hassle of getting planning permission, which is time-consuming and costly.

So long as you don’t need plumbing or do not plan to have sleeping accommodation and the building is less than 15 sq.m, you won’t need planning permission to build a garden room.
