Add a Garden Room! Hopefully, we are moving towards the final months of the pandemic, and life will start to return back to a resemblance of normal.

What has changed for many people is working from home. Homeworking has become the new norm for thousands of people and the use of technology such as Microsoft Teams, O365 and Zoom has been invaluable. It has proven that working from home can be effective with the right technology.
However, even if you have all the tech available to do your job, you also need the proper work environment at home to have an effective workday. That has been a challenge for thousands of people.

I was lucky enough to have built a home office and gym prior to the pandemic. I built the 7m x 4m Garden Room to fit neatly at the back of our garden. I ensured it was well insulated so we could use the garden building all year round. Having this extra space proved to be a real-life saver for the entire family.

I made a conscious effort to use the latest building technology to build the Garden Room. The walls, floor, and ceiling were constructed using Structural Insulated Panels that supplied excellent thermal qualities. The garden building was finished outside with Larch Cladding, and internally, we plastered the walls. I also added a toilet and shower room.

I was able to run my business from the garden room during the lockdown, the kids could go and workout, and my wife who is a Pilates instructor set up the garden room to Zoom all her classes, free from the noise of home life.

I recently sold my house and was surprised by how quickly it went. The house was in a good location and was very well presented. I knew that we would get a decent price, but I was delighted when I found out how much of a difference having a Garden Room had made to the buyer’s decision and the price we achieved.

Adding extra functional space in the form of a garden room can add a significant premium to your house price. Building a garden room was definitely an excellent choice for me and I was very happy with the return on investment.
