PROPERTY ADVICE

In fact, experts estimate that installing a quality garden room
could bring 1.5 times its cost in added value to your home,
making them a worthy investment if you have the garden
space, and making your home a more attractive proposition
when you come to sell.

So, how can you use a garden room? The options are
limitless, so you can adapt the space to suit the needs of
your family. The obvious choice is turning your garden
room into a home office, to create a separate workspace
away from the main house, which you can kit out to your
specifications and shut the door on at the end of the day. Or
perhaps you’d like to create a den for children to enjoy with
their friends, ideal if you don’t have space for a playroom
inside the house.

But it doesn’t have to be all about practicality; you could
build your garden room to be a fun extra space to indulge
your hobbies.

Perhaps you’d like to create a home cinema with a projector
and squishy sofas, a home gym where you can work out in
peace, or maybe your own personal garden bar where you
can socialise with friends.
