Garden rooms are one of the fastest-growing home improvement trends in the UK. They provide extra space without the complexities of a traditional extension and create versatile, beautiful areas for work, leisure, or family life. But one of the most common questions we hear at Hawksbeck Garden Rooms is: How much value does a garden room add to my property?
Increased Property Value
On average, a high-quality garden room can add between 5% and 15% to your property’s value, depending on its size, specification, and intended use. This is particularly attractive to potential buyers who want extra usable space without the hassle of planning permission for extensions.
Creating Sought-After Additional Space
Buyers are increasingly looking for homes with flexible spaces. A garden room offers a detached area ideal for working from home, which has become an essential requirement post-pandemic. Similarly, a garden gym, studio, or guest room adds lifestyle appeal and practicality. This makes your property stand out in a competitive market and could lead to a quicker sale at a better price.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Extensions
While a traditional extension can cost significantly more, with planning permissions, structural work, and interior fit-outs, a garden room is often a more cost-effective solution. At Hawksbeck, our garden rooms are fully insulated, built with premium materials, and comply with building regulations, offering the feel and performance of an extension without the disruption.
Year-Round Usability Enhances Value
A garden room built to a high specification – including proper insulation, underfloor heating, premium glazing, and electrical connectivity – is usable all year round. Buyers see this as a genuine additional room rather than a summer house or outbuilding, making it more valuable in their eyes.
Versatile Design Increases Buyer Appeal
The beauty of a garden room is its flexibility. Whether it’s a home office, treatment room, home cinema, or teenagers’ hangout space, its purpose can easily be reimagined by new owners to suit their needs. This versatility increases its market appeal and broadens your potential buyer pool.
Enhancing Lifestyle and Kerb Appeal
Beyond financial value, a garden room transforms the way you live. It creates a peaceful retreat away from household distractions, an inspiring place to work, or a luxurious space to relax and entertain. This enhancement of lifestyle, wellbeing, and outdoor space integration makes your home more desirable and enjoyable while you live there – as well as boosting its market value if you choose to sell in future.
