Will a Garden Room Add Value?





From the Petit Trianon at Versailles to Granddad's shed hidden away down the bottom of the garden behind his blousy perennials. Garden rooms have long been a must have for the discerning homeowner. The garden 'shed', or garden offices, has also evolved in recent years. From the bare-bones basic man-cave to the stylish extra bedroom or office space. So, apart from providing a great escape from the hub-hub of daily life, can garden rooms add value to your home?
Added Value for You

The short answer here is yes. Garden rooms and luxury sheds will add value in two senses – one in the short term for your pleasure and the second in the longer term, if you choose to sell your home. How much value a garden room can add depends on your needs and lifestyle. If you work for yourself, or work from home regularly, and the family home is full then an extra room in the garden can work well as an office, study or workshop.
The cost of extending in this way is competitive compared to a bricks and mortar extension and the benefits to you are potentially very much the same. Consult Home office builders now!
Added Value for Your Home

Estate agents and property professionals believe that a well maintained, attractive garden can add up to 20% in value to your home. A garden room will be a big contributing factor in this. The key here is 'well maintained'. A palatial garden room providing accommodation or workspace in a wilderness of weeds may add some value but only if potential purchasers have a machete to hand to reach it!
Adding an extra 'room' in a reasonable sized garden that is well cared for will be a real plus for many people and will particularly appeal to those with growing families or professionals who need home-based workspace.  Summer house builders have great ideas; ask them!
Future Proofing Your Garden Rooms

If you're thinking of moving in the next few years, adding a garden room or summer houses Yorkshire now is a good plan. You'll get the benefit of it for yourself or your family now and the cash-back benefit when you sell your home! If this is the case, choosing the right type of garden room is essential. Ideally you want to choose a style, design and layout that can be flexible.
A room that can be used as an office or additional bedroom is likely to be the most popular option.  Connecting power is essential and water is no bad plan either, if you want to create the most flexible and attractive option for future owners.
