Most garden rooms featured on this site stand at 2.5 metres high, making them ideal for Permitted Development and offering the flexibility to position the building without needing Planning Permission. However, there are options for those seeking a taller garden room.
Bespoke Design for Increased Headroom
Specialist garden room designers like Executive Garden Rooms can create customised taller buildings. For example, this project in Borehamwood by the team at Executive Garden Rooms was built to be 2.7 metres high. Due to its height and proximity—within 1 metre of the garden boundaries—Planning Permission was required. Fortunately, Executive Garden Rooms manage the entire Planning Application process for their clients, ensuring a seamless experience.
Taller garden rooms are especially beneficial for activities that require additional space, such as home gyms. While a typical 2.5m high garden room often provides a floor-to-ceiling height of around 2.1 metres, opting for extra height can create a more spacious and airy interior.
Incorporating Integral Storage
This garden room spans 3.4m in width and 5.4m in depth. The front section features a living area complete with French doors that open onto the garden. An internal door leads to a convenient storage room at the rear, providing discreet storage solutions. Depending on your preference, storage areas can be accessed from inside the building or through a separate exterior entrance.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Exterior Finishes
The exterior of this garden room is designed for minimal maintenance while retaining its colour and appearance over time. Executive Garden Rooms offer the option of Cedral weatherboarding, a durable cement-based cladding available in various colours, including New England-style shades and wood finishes such as the Oak used for this project. Cedral does not require repainting, preserving its aesthetic for years.
This project also features double-glazed uPVC French doors, small side windows, and a traditional multi-layer hot torch roof. The combination of these materials ensures a long-lasting, maintenance-free exterior.
Interior Details
Inside, Executive Garden Rooms deliver a fully plastered and decorated finish, akin to the standard in new-build homes. This, paired with high-quality laminate flooring, creates a comfortable, ready-to-use space.
Executive Garden Rooms offers a comprehensive turnkey service, handling everything from the initial build to connecting the electrical system to the mains. Unlike some companies who leave the final connection to the homeowner, Executive Garden Rooms ensures a hassle-free process.
Well-Specified Electrics
This garden room's electrical setup includes power sockets, LED downlights, a wall panel heater, an exterior security light, a smoke alarm, and Cat6 data cabling for stable internet connectivity. The project was completed on-site in just two weeks.
