About

Why does everyone want a garden room?

​

Bespoke man caves, home bars, garden offices, she sheds along with all other garden rooms we design and build have become very popular in recent times due to the current challenges our clients have had to face to continue their work along with having a desirable place to rest or play.

​

No planning permission (see Step 6)

As no planning permission is usually required and garden rooms are classed as outbuildings, garden rooms can be built with a maximum height of 2.5 meters to the eaves with an overall height of 4 metres with a dual pitched roof or 3 metres for any other roof. This is one of the main reasons many homeowners are choosing garden rooms, rather than extending onto the house.

​

More cost effective and less hassle

​

Many home owners in Essex are looking to add space to their home although a single-storey extension could be quoted anywhere between £1950 per m2 and £2500 per m2 plus planning permission and architect costs. Here at Essex man caves we provide a cost-effective way of adding space and adding value to your home without the headache or hassle of a home extension.

 

365 days a year use!

​

Because our garden rooms are fully insulated with windows and doors and are built with all the home comforts you would expect they can be used all year round 365 days a year, your bespoke home bar, garden office, garden gym or any other garden room you choose will give you the comfort and space require and will feel just like any other room you could have in your house with the added benefit of having it in the garden.

​

A bespoke garden room can be built for any purpose and can have many uses, this amazing room offers total flexibly and here are some great ideas of what you could have such as a man cave, home bar, garden office, she shed, home studio, garden gym, children’s playroom, gaming room, workshop, nail bar, hot tub house, painting room, relaxation room, entertainment room plus any other bespoke garden room you desire, the possibilities are endless.

The second payment of 25% is then due the first week we start and then the final payment of 25% is paid on day of completion.
