Add £100,000 to the value of your home with a garden room 

It’s no surprise that garden rooms are in demand. With buyers actively looking for more space, a garden room is becoming an increasingly popular option that stands to increase property value by a significant amount.

How much value does a garden room add?

With the rising popularity of home improvement projects, garden rooms have become a highly sought-after feature for homeowners and potential buyers alike. Reflecting this growing trend, the inclusion of a garden room can significantly boost a property's value. According to Robert Fitzjohn, Director of Fitzjohn Estates, "Adding a garden room can increase a property's value by as much as £50,000 to £100,000, depending on the size and location."


The demand for garden rooms has been driven by a blend of social and economic factors. Fitzjohn explains, "Since the pandemic and with an overall increase in people working from home, we have also seen people using their houses more like homes in recent years and making them a special place." This shift in lifestyle has spurred a desire for flexible living spaces that can accommodate the changing needs of today's homeowners, resulting in a greater need for garden offices to work remotely without impacting life at home.

How much does a garden room cost?

The cost of installing a garden room is notably more affordable than traditional home extensions. Prices vary based on factors such as size and design, but a high-quality garden room can start from £9,860. The Basebox garden room from Green Retreats costs £1,180 per square metre, while the average conservatory costs around £2,000 per square metre, making year-round fully insulated garden rooms the more economical option.


Garden rooms are also proving to be more than just a workspace. As Fitzjohn points out, "Everyone will have a use for them!" Whether used as a home gym, bar, or recreational space, their versatility makes them highly appealing to a wide range of buyers, enhancing their saleability.

Quality is key

While the addition of a garden room can significantly increase a property's value, this largely depends on the quality of the structure. A well-designed garden room made from premium-grade materials will add long-term value, whereas lower-quality options may not generate the same interest.


Fitzjohn highlights this importance: "Buyers want to avoid something that feels like an expensive liability, like a high-maintenance swimming pool." Therefore, investing in a durable, stylish, and low-maintenance garden room can make all the difference when it comes to attracting potential buyers.

Garden rooms are becoming a valuable addition to modern homes, offering both practical and financial benefits. As demand for flexible living spaces grows, investing in a high-quality garden room could not only enhance your lifestyle but also add significant value to your property.
