Customise your garden office

Autumn Garden Office Week continues with a sponsored post from Homestead Timber Buildings on choosing the key features of your new garden room to suit your business.

And then how to have some fun and customise your garden office.

Plus a special offer on one of their most popular buildings:

High property prices mean that many homeowners simply cannot afford to buy the bigger house they need to accommodate family and work. There’s always the option to extend, of course, assuming you have the right size of space next to the house.

But a much cheaper and far quicker alternative is a freestanding garden building from Homestead Timber Buildings. Moving your office out to the garden means not only do you create a peaceful workspace away from the distractions of family life, but you also free up more space in the house for a bedroom, guest room or storage.

In most cases we can install a toilet in your garden building so that you are fully independent of the main house, and can have meetings without invading the privacy of your home. And if you work in the creative industries and are looking to set up a studio, our opening roof skylights allow light to pour in no matter what the weather or season.

Once you’ve settled on the basic requirements for your business you can also commission personal details to customise your garden office, such as verandas, decorative window surrounds and unusual colours. One of our customers had his garden building laid across a stream, and Kirsty Allsopp of Location, Location, Location had a capital ’K’ fixed to her roof!

Prices for our buildings start from under £10,000, including base, installation, electrics and VAT. And don’t miss the current special offer on our 4m x 2.4m Oxford Building (see photo above), which does not require planning permission.

Usually £12,000, it’s available for a limited period for just £9,600, and that includes absolutely everything – concrete base, electrics, double glazed windows and doors, insulation, painted with your choice of colour and VAT.
