Garden Home Office

A garden home office is a fully insulated timber building in your garden, built for comfortable year-round working with power, lighting and heating. At Timber Rooms we design and build bespoke garden offices with our own team from our workshop in Upper Beeding, and we’ve completed more than 2,500 garden rooms across East Sussex, West Sussex, Surrey and South London.

Why squeeze into the box room when you could work at the bottom of the garden? A garden office gives you a door you can close at the end of the day, natural light, and a commute of about twenty seconds. It also frees up space in the house, without the cost and disruption of moving.

Sometimes, you want something that shows off a little more of your character and our bespoke garden office option allows just this. With our full design process enabling you to imagine something, put it to paper with our team and then have it come to life, your garden office can be bought to reality easily.

Our team will always start with a visit to your property to meet you and understand your exact wishes. We then work alongside you to make sure that each part of the process of having your bespoke garden office is designed, built, and installed just how you want it to be. Our team know that in many instances, having workmen on your property can, for some, feel uncomfortable. That is why we make sure you meet the team and feel comfortable having us around whilst we create your perfect garden office.

In most cases, there is never a need for planning permission either so simply dream up the idea and let us get to work. Get your free site survey today so we can turn your dream into reality!

In the summertime, working from a garden office can almost feel like a holiday. The sun shining, the garden full of colour, the music playing on your fully integrated entertainment system. It seems more like a relaxing Sunday rather than a weekday. When winter comes though, that time in the garden office can feel much more subdued. Not with a garden office from Timber Rooms! We create all of our rooms with your needs in mind. Nobody wants to be working in the cold and that is why our fully insulated rooms can help you keep cold out and warm in! With the options for double glazing too as well as installing underfloor heating or radiators, when winter falls, you can stay cosy in your garden home office without fear of feeling the frost!

Home garden office requirements

Home garden office requirements

In many cases, you can have our team create your bespoke garden office without any need for planning permission at all.  They most often fall under the term “permitted development” which means you can create your dream workspace without worry of a fine or issue with neighbours. You should remain aware though that certain styles of room could easily break those rules but that is where Timber Rooms can help. With our experienced team fully knowledgeable in all rules around planning we can guide you through the process of what you can, or cannot have as a garden office.

Current rules state that you will only need planning permission if:

  • Your garden home office is more than 2 floors.
  • It is designed for permanent residential use.
  • Its eaves height is more than 2.5m
  • It exceeds an overall height of 4m on an apex or reverse apex roof.
  • It exceeds an overall height of 3m on any other roof.
  • The space it takes up in your garden is more than 50% of the surface.
  • The garden room passes the front wall of your house.

With options for it to be fully customisable, you can opt for different flooring, different types of wood, whether it needs plumbing or whether you want it to feature a sunroof. You can even factor in storage space or a multi-use purpose. Many of our customers design their garden offices with us having more than one idea in mind for how they plan to use it.

Want a gym and an office? No problem. Need a workspace and a kids’ play area? Certainly possible. Fancy incorporating a bar as well as a place to host meetings? We can do that! Why not check out this stunning example of a party room and office we built in Surrey!
