Are Small Garden Rooms Worth Having?

You may wonder if a small garden room is a good investment. If you are asking yourself if small garden rooms are worth having, read our handy guide to find out how a small garden room can be used.

A compact garden room needn’t be a compromise. It can provide a discreet, comfortable space for a variety of uses.

How can I use a small garden room?

Even a tiny garden room can be a great way to make some private space for a neat and private home office for a single person. Or maybe you have a teen who could do with some private space for gaming or hanging out with a friend.

With the right equipment, you can install a home gym in even the smallest of spaces without the need to clutter your home.

Small garden rooms can be considered an ideal solution to gaining some extra space without breaking the bank or overtaking your garden.

What if I have a Small Garden?

In the UK, many homes have small gardens, particularly in new developments or cities. Don’t be discouraged. With our bespoke designs, we can create a small garden room that will complement your outdoor space and make use of your garden all year round.

Our free site survey will ensure we find the right spot to locate a garden room to maximise your outdoor space.

Can I have a small garden room in a larger garden?

A big garden does not mean you need a big garden room. Indeed, a small garden room can be tucked away in an unused corner, meaning you keep your garden free for planting and recreation.

It’s all about deciding what you need. That’s why a bespoke service like the one we offer at Sanctuary Garden Rooms is ideal. We can help you discover what will work for your needs.

What size is a small garden room?

The good news at Sanctuary Garden Rooms is that there is no limit as we build our garden rooms from scratch using high-spec materials.

Every garden room we create is tailored to your needs and built to provide the optimal space you desire.

We can work within your budget and create a space that will fit in your garden and elevate the area with a modern, stylish appeal. Compact does not mean it will lack space!

Some general rules to help you understand planning guidelines

We will take care of any planning permission required, but generally, you can install a garden room within permitted building limits.

• A garden room must stay below 30 square metres.
• Only 50% of your garden can be covered by outbuildings (including sheds, summerhouses, etc.)
• If the garden room is within 2m of the boundary, the height must be 2.5m or lower.

Advantages of a Small Garden Room

• Privacy: Being detached from your house means it provides a space where you will not disturb others or be disturbed!
• Versatility: You are only limited by your imagination. What about a home office, a gym, a yoga room, a hot tub room, a spa, a playroom, a den, a reading room….?
• Contemporary: Even the smallest garden rooms have a modern appeal that will fit into any sized garden and will be an elegant, stylish feature.
• Bright and Airy: One of the biggest advantages of a small garden room is that the large glazed doors and windows help to create an illusion of space and keep the area light and welcoming.
