Garden Rooms in Oxfordshire & Berkshire

Usually, no.

For garden buildings placed within 2 meters of a boundary, the overall height must be below 2.5 meters from ground level to avoid the need for planning permission.

All of our buildings are designed with a maximum height of 2.5 meters to comply with these regulations. However, planning permission may still be required in some cases, such as in areas of outstanding natural beauty or listed buildings.

If your garden building is located more than 2 meters from a boundary, the maximum height for a dual-pitch roof increases to 4 meters before planning permission is necessary.

Yes and we love a challenge!

All of our buildings are made from scratch in our workshops. This allows us to make buildings of all shape and sizes. We can make buildings as bespoke as the mind can imagine, so feel free to send your ideas our way!

Yes, absolutely! Bespoke garden rooms are incredibly versatile and can easily serve multiple purposes. The beauty of a custom-built space is that it can be designed specifically to accommodate your changing needs.

Many clients use their garden rooms as combination spaces – for example, a home office during the day that transforms into an entertainment area in the evenings, or a games room that doubles as a guest bedroom when needed. With thoughtful design, you can incorporate features like:

• Flexible furniture that can be moved or folded away
• Built-in storage solutions to keep different equipment organized
• Multiple electrical circuits to support various uses (office equipment, entertainment systems, gaming setups)
• Appropriate insulation and climate control for year-round comfort
• Different lighting zones for work, relaxation, and entertainment

The key is discussing your intended uses during the design phase so the room can be properly equipped with the right power supply, lighting, flooring, and layout to support all your activities. Whether it’s a morning yoga studio, afternoon office, and evening cinema room, a well-designed bespoke garden room can adapt to your lifestyle seamlessly.

Absolutely! UK weather is exactly why proper insulation and climate control are so important in bespoke garden room design – and why we don’t cut corners on these essentials.

A well-built garden room is designed specifically for our climate. With proper insulation, double or triple glazing, and efficient heating systems, your space will be comfortable whether it’s a damp February morning or a scorching July afternoon. Many of our clients actually prefer working in their garden rooms during winter months because they feel cozy and connected to the outdoors without dealing with the elements.

The key features that make year-round use possible include:

• High-quality insulation in walls, floors, and roofs that exceeds building regulations
• Efficient heating systems (electric, air source heat pumps, or underfloor heating)
• Proper ventilation to prevent condensation and maintain air quality
• Quality windows and doors that seal properly against wind and rain
• Adequate electrical supply for heating, lighting, and equipment

Rather than weather being a limitation, many clients find their garden room becomes their favorite retreat during harsh weather – imagine having your morning coffee while watching the rain from your warm, comfortable space, or enjoying a cozy evening even when it’s freezing outside.

The investment pays for itself when you can use the space 365 days a year, not just during the few perfect weather days we get in the UK!
