FAQs
- Q. What are the key planning permission considerations for converting a garden room in the UK
- Answer: In most cases, garden room conversions don’t require planning permission as long as they fall under 'permitted development' rights. The garden room must not exceed 2.5 metres in height if within 2 metres of a boundary, and the total area of garden outbuildings, including sheds and other structures, cannot cover more than 50% of the garden. However, if you plan to use the room as a separate living space or if your property is listed or in a conservation area, you may need to apply for planning permission.
- Q. How can I ensure my garden room conversion is suitable for year-round use?
- Answer: To make your garden room usable all year round, proper insulation is essential. Insulating the walls, roof, and floor will help retain warmth in winter and keep the room cool in summer. Double glazing, energy-efficient heating systems, and proper ventilation are also key to ensuring comfort and usability throughout the year.
- Q. What is the average cost of converting a garden room into a functional living space?
- Answer: The cost of converting a garden room typically ranges from £10,000 to £30,000, depending on the size of the room, the quality of materials, and the intended use. More basic conversions for a home office or gym will be on the lower end of the scale, while converting the space into a guest bedroom or studio with plumbing and electricity will increase costs.
- Q. What are the most popular uses for a converted garden room?
- Answer: Garden rooms can be converted into a variety of functional spaces. Popular uses include home offices, art studios, gyms, guest bedrooms, or even home cinemas. Some people also use them as wellness retreats, with saunas or yoga spaces, while others convert them into hobby rooms or playrooms for children.
- Q. How can a garden room conversion increase the value of my property?
- Answer: A well-executed garden room conversion can increase your property's value by 5% to 7%. It adds functional living space without the disruption of extending the main house, which is particularly attractive to buyers looking for flexible or additional space. Additionally, a stylish and well-insulated garden room can boost the appeal of your property in competitive markets.
