Garden rooms

Bespoke garden rooms and garden offices, designed and built for the site rather than dropped in as a kit.

In short

What does Gardenscape mean by garden rooms?

Bespoke garden rooms and garden offices, designed and built for the site rather than dropped in as a kit.

A garden room built for the site, not dropped in

A garden room should feel like part of the property, not a shed with big windows parked on the lawn. We design and build garden rooms and garden offices around your site, your use and the way you want to live in them, insulated and finished to a standard that works the whole year round rather than just in summer.

Built for year-round use

The difference between a garden room you use every day and one that sits empty half the year is the build. We construct on a proper base and groundworks, insulate the floor, walls and roof to a genuine standard, specify the glazing for light and warmth, and run the power, data and heating the room needs. Built that way, it is a real room you can work, relax or sleep in through a Wiltshire winter, not a summerhouse with a heater in the corner.

Designed around how you will use it

A garden office, a studio, a gym, a quiet room or a guest space all ask for different things from the layout, the light and the services. We start with how you will actually use it and design the room back from there, so the space, the storage and the outlook suit the purpose rather than fighting it.

Cladding and finish that suit the garden

The outside matters as much as the inside, because the room is seen from the house every day. We specify cladding and finishes, timber, render or a mix, to sit with the property and the garden, so the room reads as a considered part of the place rather than a bolt-on.

Planning, kept simple

Most garden rooms fall within permitted development as an outbuilding, but it depends on size, height and where it sits, and conservation areas and the Cotswold National Landscape tighten the rules. We confirm what applies before we design, so there are no surprises, and we point you to the local authority where a check is needed.

Common questions

Common questions

  • Yes, when it is built properly. We build on a proper base, insulate the floor, walls and roof to a genuine standard, and run the heating and power it needs, so it works through winter rather than just in summer.

  • Usually they fall within permitted development as an outbuilding, but it depends on size, height and position, and conservation areas and the Cotswold National Landscape tighten the rules. We confirm what applies before designing.

  • A kit is a fixed product dropped onto whatever base is there. A built garden room is designed for your site and use, set on proper groundworks, insulated and finished to suit the property, which is why it lasts and feels like part of the house.

  • Yes. Power, data and heating are part of the build and are run and connected properly, which is essential for a garden office or any room you intend to use all year.

  • Yes, and it is one of the most common uses. We design garden offices with the light, the layout, the services and the insulation that make working from the bottom of the garden genuinely comfortable year round.
