Bespoke Builders – Creating Custom-Built Garden Rooms in London

If you live in London, you know space is at a premium. This is why many London homeowners are looking for creative ways to expand their living areas without moving house or getting into significant renovations.

This is where Build Abode comes in. Our bespoke builders can create a popular and stylish garden room for your property.

Garden rooms are becoming very trendy. These versatile outdoor structures can add an elegant extension to any home. Unlike a prefabricated unit, a custom garden room is tailored to your unique needs, available space, and favourite aesthetics.

Keep reading to learn more about why garden rooms have become a “must-have” for homeowners in London and how Build Abode’s bespoke builders can create the garden room of your dreams.

What is a Garden Room?

A garden room is a standalone structure built right in your garden. It is designed to meet your specific requirements. Unlike a shed or summerhouse, a garden room is meant to be used all year long, and it can be fully customised with heat, electricity, and even plumbing.

Key Features Found in Custom Garden Rooms

Many features are commonly found in garden rooms. These include:

• Insulation throughout, including walls, flooring, and roofing
• Weather-resistant materials
• Custom designs and layouts to suit your exact purpose
• Glass doors and large windows for natural light and aesthetics
• Electrical lighting, heat, and internet connectivity

Common Uses for Garden Rooms

What do people use their garden rooms for? We have seen it all, including the following:

• Home Office — Since the COVID-19 epidemic, more people have been working from home than ever. Build Abode’s bespoke builders can create a private workspace in the garden where distractions are kept to a minimum.
• Home Gym — For those serious about fitness, a home gym is an excellent use of a garden room. You can fill the space with fitness equipment, and we can even add features like a sauna or shower area.
• Creative Studio—If you are a writer, musician, or artist, a garden room is a wonderful way to create a personalised studio and improve your creative flow.
• Guest Accommodation — For those who often have guests or for those who are looking for a new idea for a granny flat, a garden room is an excellent choice, as it can be fully customised with everything anyone would need for comfort.
• Entertainment Lounge — Garden rooms are also popular choices for entertainment spaces. We can design a pub-like atmosphere for entertaining or a family space for movie nights.
• Wellness Area – Those who enjoy yoga, meditation, or other wellness practices can find a perfect way to create a spa-like sanctuary only steps away from your home.

Benefits of Garden Rooms in London Homes

There are numerous benefits to building a garden room on your London property. Here are only a few:

Maximise Limited Space

London homes are notorious for being in tight spaces, especially in central London. Garden rooms are a cost-effective way to have more living space without disrupting your interior space.

Work-from-Home Area

Another benefit of garden rooms is that they offer a perfect place to work from home. We can design a quiet, professional environment separate from the main house. This means fewer distractions, more productivity, and a better work-life balance.

Higher Property Value

Adding a garden room to your property also helps to increase its value. Many prospective homeowners are looking for more functional space, and a bespoke garden room does that in a practical way.

Flexibility

Garden rooms can evolve with your needs as your lifestyle changes. For instance, you may want to use it as an office for a few years, but it can easily be turned into a home gym or entertainment space after you retire.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Finally, custom-designed garden rooms often feature solar panels, energy-efficient insulation, and eco-friendly materials, which help minimise the household’s carbon footprint.

Planning Permission and Regulations

One of the best advantages of a garden room is that it generally does not require planning permission. However, some guidelines must be followed. This can be intimidating to homeowners, but when you work with Build Abode, our Design Director, Jessica, can help you through the process. She is RIBA/ARB accredited.

Cost Considerations for a Garden Room

For those considering a garden room, budget might be a consideration. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend much to get a basic garden room. Remember that garden room costs vary based on size, materials, and features.

Basic Garden Room—A basic, smaller garden room built with standard materials generally costs between £ 10,000 and £20,000.

Mid-Range Garden Room — If you want to build something more significant with electricity and a more customised design, you can expect to pay between £20,000 and £40,000.

Luxury Custom-Built Garden Room – A luxury garden room with a fully bespoke design featuring innovative technology, heating, plumbing, and premium materials usually starts at around £40,000.

Remember that adding a garden room to your property can increase its value by as much as 10%, making it an excellent investment.
