Second-Hand Garden Office with Storeroom
Published: 6 May 2026
We don't often feature second-hand garden offices on The Garden Room & Annexe Guide, but from time to time people contact us about buildings they're looking to sell — and occasionally one comes along that's worth drawing attention to. This one, located in Oxfordshire near Bicester Village, is one of the better examples we've seen.
The owners have moved into a property that had an existing garden office and storeroom already in place. They have no use for it themselves and are looking to sell it to someone who can put it to work. If you've been thinking about adding a garden office and you're willing to do a bit of work, this could be worth a closer look.
What You're Getting
This is a modular construction — the type built in factory-made panels that are bolted or fixed together on site. That matters, because it means dismantling and relocating it is genuinely feasible, rather than just theoretical.
The building is fitted with UPVC double-glazed doors and windows throughout, with blinds already in place. Inside the office there's a heater, lighting, and power points, a useful detail for anyone who needs a fully functioning workspace from day one. The electrics are wired to a consumer unit, and the owner will arrange to have them disconnected from the main supply in the house before the building is moved.
The storeroom is a particularly appealing feature. A garden office with dedicated storage is a popular configuration and it's unusual to find it available second-hand. At this size, the combination works well as a compact home office setup.
Dimensions and Permitted Development
The building is 3251mm wide by 2235mm deep. The roof is mono-pitched, running from 2500mm at its highest point down to 2362mm at the eaves — which keeps it within Permitted Development height limits and means planning permission is unlikely to be required at most properties. Worth confirming for your own situation, but it's a straightforward building in that respect.
The Dismantling Consideration
This is not a plug-and-play purchase. Relocating a modular garden building takes some planning and a reasonable level of DIY competence. The office has a plastered interior finish, and there will inevitably be some damage when the panels are separated — you'll need to factor in re-plastering or switching to an alternative lining such as plywood or Melamine when you reassemble it. There may also be some minor damage to the exterior cladding during dismantling, though you'll be able to assess that properly once the building is apart.
The practical side of things is more manageable than it might sound. Modular panels are designed to be lifted by two people, and the metal insulated roof panels are similarly sized for handling. Everything should load into a large van or onto a trailer without difficulty. Realistically, this is a two-person job for both dismantling and reassembly.
How to Proceed
If this is of interest, contact us and we'll put you in touch with the seller directly. We step back at that point — you deal with them on price and on arranging the dismantling at a time that suits both parties.
We'd encourage you not to sit on it. A second-hand garden office with a storeroom at this size, priced to reflect the relocation work involved, is not something that stays available for long.
