Classic Garden Office

Classic Garden Office

First Published: 30 June 2020
Refreshed: 28 October 2024
Reading Time: 2 minutes

The Classic Garden Office by Crane Garden Buildings offers a beautiful blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design touches, creating an ideal workspace for smaller gardens. Measuring 2.4m x 3m, this compact structure fits comfortably in most outdoor spaces while keeping the overall height below 2.5m, ensuring it complies with Permitted Development rights.

Thoughtful Design and Detailing

Crane’s attention to detail is evident in the hooded canopy adorning the office’s front elevation. The canopy’s tapered sides add a subtle contemporary touch that enhances the office’s classic charm. French doors and a top-hung, elongated window allow natural light to flood the space, while the window's position—on the left or right of the doors—can be tailored to your preference. The exterior can be customised further with cladding colours from a palette of soft greens and greys, offering a range of looks to suit any garden style.

Interior Finish

The Classic Garden Office interior is finished with natural matchboard cladding, creating a warm, timeless look. You can keep this finish or opt to paint the matchboard for a Shaker-style effect later, allowing you to personalise the space to your taste over time.

Customising Your Office

Crane Garden Buildings offers a configurator tool on their website, letting you tailor your Classic Garden Office to suit your needs. The base package includes VAT, delivery, and installation, simplifying the setup. For added convenience, you can choose an electrical pack, which comes with flush-mounted sockets for a neat appearance; a heating option is also available. Final connection to your home’s power supply can be arranged with a local electrician.

Crane also recommends a concrete slab foundation for stability, which can be arranged independently or as part of your order. Adding the optional guttering pack is also a wise choice, helping manage rainwater effectively and prolonging the building’s lifespan.
