​
When designing your man cave or garden room, the sky really is the limit. You can have anything from a fully functional bar, with pool table and dance floor, to a contemporary modern office or relaxation room.
​
Our man caves are highly cost effective and are far less expensive than a home extension or a loft conversion.

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.
