Build Your Dream Garden Room With South Wales Garden Rooms

What Are Garden Rooms?

A garden room is a stand-alone outdoor structure, that extends the living space of a home into the garden or outside area, without being attached to the main house or property. Garden rooms can have many different functions and, depending on the size, can even be multifunctional; purposes can include additional living space, a home office, a gym space, a yoga studio or even a bar or pub; the options are endless and fully customisable to you. South Wales Garden Rooms will design and build your garden room Cardiff to your design and specification. 

Garden buildings often have vast, large windows to bring the outside in, and many incorporate French or bi-folding doors to take advantage of the ‘garden’ aspect of the design and add a contemporary flair to the design. Garden rooms have become popular additions to modern homes as a flexible and affordable solution to growing space needs and utilising garden spaces all year round.

With the rise of flexible and remote working, garden offices have become wildly popular as a compromise between working in the comfort of your own home with the need for a separate office space. In having a working space separate from the main house, garden offices allow for a peaceful and dedicated work space where interruptions and distractions can be at a minimum, whilst enjoying the mental benefits of being surrounded by nature.

Garden rooms are their own separate structure, comprised of a solid base, walls and watertight roof. Unlike more old-fashioned summerhouses, garden rooms are fully insulated and can even possess central heating and smart electrics, making them a comfortable spot to use whatever the season or weather.

Offering both modular and bespoke options with a wide range of customisable elements, we combine expert craftsmanship with a customer-focused approach to create a garden room fully tailored to you and your family.

Benefits of a Garden Room

There are many benefits to a garden room in Cardiff, the main one being the additional space that it can bring to your home. An outdoor living space such as a garden room can be beneficial to growing families that need extra space and is especially useful to multi-generational families. Garden annexes can be used as independent living spaces or even an extra bedroom space so that the family doesn’t need to be on top of one another.

Compared to a home extension, garden rooms can cost significantly less, and, in most cases, they fall within the category of having permitted development rights, negating the need for planning permission. In contrast, home extensions often do require planning approval, with a longer overall process, are often more expensive and require more complex structural work. Choosing a high-quality garden room over a home extension gives you a space away from the main house, and can often be a lot more customisable to your tastes and needs.

Your garden room design can be customised to any function you have in mind and can vary in looks and style with South Wales Garden Rooms’ bespoke service, with different window options, door options,, and choices of various sustainable materials. Lighting, flooring and the structure’s utilities can also all be designed and customised to suit your individual requirements.

Garden buildings can also complement your outdoor space, allowing you to fully enjoy your garden whilst giving you that additional living space that is so often needed in Cardiff. The inclusion of bi-folding doors, or patio doors, can create versatile garden spaces where you can move freely between your extra living space indoors and outdoor living space in the garden, enjoying the advantages of nature and any good weather throughout the year.

How Much Does A Garden Room Cost?

A garden room project in Cardiff can vary significantly in terms of costs, with many different factors at play that can affect the overall financial burden. Many different elements need to be considered when budgeting for a bespoke garden room, such as size, location within your outdoor space, utilities and choice of building materials. 

The size of your planned garden room will play a significant role in its pricing; larger structures tend to use more materials and require more labour, which can both drive the price upwards. Other factors that come about due to increased size are the scale of site preparation and the cost of planning permission and building permits that are sometimes required when building a larger structure. As garden rooms are such versatile spaces, is wise to consider the future functionality of your garden room solution While a larger room may benefit you in regards to usability, it tends to cost considerably more, whereas a smaller garden room may be more budget-friendly, but may not sustain your needs long-term.

Where you plan for your garden room to sit within your outdoor living space can also have an impact on the cost of the project. It is usually more cost-effective to choose an area that is already relatively level, and easy to access, as site preparation costs can increase if extensive ground levelling is required.

Adding utilities such as electricity and running water can make your Cardiff garden room significantly more usable and comfortable, but it can also come with additional costs – both upfront in terms of installation and subsequent increased utility bill costs. While we include two double electric sockets with USB ports and LED spotlights as key elements of our bespoke garden rooms at South Wales Garden Rooms, any additional electrical work, such as more sockets, upgraded lighting, or central heating or air conditioning systems, will cost more both in terms of design and installation. The same applies if you would like to have running water and drainage implemented to create your perfect garden room. Our high-quality garden rooms are highly suited as home pubs or a self-contained annexe guesthouse.

Lastly, the building and roofing materials you include in your garden room in Cardiff can also sway the overall cost and affect your budget. Whilst our experienced team at South Wales Garden Rooms only ever supplies quality materials, we can provide you with various options for your garden room roof, from a mono-pitched rubber roof created from asphalt shingles as a more affordable option, to cedar shakes forming a more complex hipped roof.

Adding Value to Your Property with a Garden Room

Garden rooms are a fantastic way to increase the value of your home without the hassle or expense of a home extension. Investing in the installation of a garden room is the perfect solution to increasing the functional living space of your home, and can often add upwards of 150% of the cost of the installation onto your property’s value. 

Garden rooms can be used as customisable garden offices, additional living spaces, garden studios or even an extra bedroom; whichever function you choose for your garden room can add to your home’s specification should you choose to sell in the future, and can increase market interest.

Garden Rooms vs ‘Traditional’ Home Extensions

A ‘traditional’ home extension is any type of extension that expands your original property. 

They increase living space in the form of additional living areas, kitchens, bathrooms or even extra bedrooms. Extensions can be extremely costly, due to building materials, labour costs, lengthy project timelines and, oftentimes, planning permission applications. In 2024, even a small single-storey extension can put a homeowner back upwards of £30,000, whereas having a garden room designed and installed can cost anything from around £10,000.

Home extensions are often lengthy and extensive projects due to the nature of the build and structural modifications required. They very often require planning permission and building permits before the installation can even begin, whereas in nearly all cases, garden rooms fall under the category of having permitted development rights, allowing for construction to begin more quickly and without the costs of permissions. Traditional home extensions can also be disruptive to you and your family, requiring weeks, or even months, of loud building noise either within your home or just outside of it, and requiring your home’s existing walls to be knocked through, exposing you to the elements.

On the other hand, garden rooms are self-contained buildings that are no more than 2.5 metres in height, usually do not require planning permission, and can give you the additional space you need without increasing your council tax bills. They can be used for any function that you may consider an extension for, with the additional benefits of privacy due to being away from the main house and the fact that they cost considerably less than a traditional extension.

If you are looking to create extra space in your home with an extension, then you should consider a garden room from South Wales Garden Rooms. Offering virtually the same benefits and functionality, they require fewer materials, less labour, and usually do not need planning permission, allowing you to part with less money for the same spacial outcome.
