How a Garden Room Can Give You That Extra Space (and Boost Your Value)

Adding a high-quality garden room gives your home real value—both functionally and financially. According to UK estate agents, a well-designed garden building can increase your home’s worth by 5% to 15%, often covering more than you spend on installation.

Why it works:

  • Provides flexible living/working space without major extension work.
  • Appeals to modern buyers looking for home offices, gyms, studios or creative retreats.
  • Long-lasting quality (insulation, glazing, rot protection) ensures good resale appeal.

Your customers get versatile space all year round—and the potential for a return of 1.5x the build cost or more.

  • Built-in light and warmth for all-season comfort.
  • Secure space for tools, materials, and finished pieces.
