As the trend of remote working continues to rise, more people are seeking ways to create a productive work environment at home. While working from the kitchen table or a spare bedroom can be convenient, these spaces often come with distractions and a lack of separation between work and home life. Enter the garden office shed—a perfect solution that blends functionality with aesthetic appeal, right in your backyard. At Rockwood Garden Studios, we specialise in creating bespoke garden office sheds that not only meet your work needs but also enhance your garden space.
One of the most compelling reasons to invest in a garden office shed is the boost in productivity it offers. By establishing a dedicated workspace separate from your main living areas, you can create a clear boundary between your professional and personal life. This separation is crucial for maintaining focus during work hours and allows you to fully switch off when the workday is done.
In addition to improving productivity, a garden office shed can be tailored to your personal preferences and needs. Whether you require a spacious desk area, ample storage, or a creative studio setup, Rockwood Garden Studios offers customisation options to ensure your garden office fits your unique requirements. Furthermore, our sheds are a cost-effective alternative to expensive home extensions or the ongoing cost of renting an office space.
Sustainability is another key factor. At Rockwood, we are committed to using eco-friendly materials and practices in all our garden office sheds. From sustainable wood to energy-efficient insulation, we strive to minimise the environmental impact of our products while ensuring they stand the test of time.
At Rockwood Garden Studios, we believe that your garden office should be as unique as you are. That’s why we offer a range of customisation options to ensure your office shed perfectly complements your garden and meets your work requirements.
Size and Layout: We offer a variety of sizes and layouts to suit different garden spaces. Whether you have a compact garden or a sprawling backyard, we can design an office shed that fits seamlessly into your outdoor environment.
Design Features: Our garden office sheds can be customised with a range of design features. Choose from different window styles, door types, and roofing materials to create a shed that enhances your garden’s aesthetic. We also offer various finishes and colours to match your taste.
Interior Fit-Out: The interior of your garden office is just as important as the exterior. We offer custom storage solutions, built-in desks, and insulation options to create a comfortable and functional workspace. Additionally, our electrical fitting options ensure your office is equipped with all the necessary amenities, from lighting to power outlets.
Sustainable Materials: We prioritise sustainability in our construction process. All of our sheds are built with eco-friendly materials that are not only durable but also minimise environmental impact.
Working from a garden office offers numerous benefits beyond just a change of scenery. One of the most significant advantages is the improved work-life balance it can provide. By physically separating your work environment from your living space, you can establish a clearer boundary between work and personal time. This separation can lead to better mental health and increased overall well-being.
Another benefit is the potential increase in property value. A well-designed garden office shed can add significant value to your home, making it an excellent investment. Additionally, our garden offices are built with year-round use in mind, featuring proper insulation and heating options to ensure comfort no matter the season.
In most cases a garden office shed does not require planning permission. Our designs typically fall within the permitted development rights, meaning you can usually proceed without needing formal approval. However, there are certain conditions to keep in mind, such as ensuring the shed is single-storey, with a maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres, and that it is not located in front of your property.
If your garden office shed exceeds these limits you may need to apply for planning permission. We recommend checking with your local planning authority to ensure compliance. Rockwood Garden Studios is here to assist you with any questions or concerns regarding planning requirements, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process.
At Rockwood Garden Studios, we take pride in offering competitive pricing while delivering bespoke garden office sheds. As a family-run business, we understand the importance of value and quality. Since each garden room we create is unique, a standard price list isn’t practical. However, you can generally estimate the cost of a garden office shed to be between £1500-£1800 per square metre.
This price range reflects the high-quality materials and craftsmanship we use to ensure your garden office is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The final cost will depend on factors like size, design features, and customisation options.
We’re committed to transparency and will work closely with you to create a garden office that fits your budget and vision. For a more accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs, we invite you to contact us for a personalised consultation.
