Garden Rooms Manchester

Manchester garden rooms deliver additional living space to use as you want, whether you require a garden studio for catching early-morning sun rays or an office space you can use daily while you work at home. 

Installing garden rooms in Manchester is fairly straightforward, due to minimal planning permission requirements in most cases, and ease of construction. Unlike regular extensions, you could add new square feet to your property in weeks with this option. 

Where Can You Install Garden Studios in Manchester?

Most people living in Manchester install new garden studios at the rear or sides of their properties. Constructions usually fall under Permitted Development Rights, a scheme introduced by the Conservative government several years ago. To qualify for planning-free development, new rooms should be under 2 metres tall if within 2 metres of a boundary (e.g., a garden fence), and take up less than 50% of available rear plot space. 

You cannot install a garden studio in the front garden without planning permission, or place it against a boundary. You can also only use it for residential use, meaning you can’t rent it out (again, unless you get planning permission).

What Can You Use A Garden Studio For In Manchester?

You can use a new garden studio in Manchester for many purposes. Here are some examples: 

1. Garden office

The most common application is to use garden studios as remote offices. They are separate from the house, which is helpful for noise control and video calls with colleagues, and they offer more light throughout the day. Furthermore, being so close to the main home, you can easily add electricity and WiFi. 

2. Playroom

Some families in Manchester also use their garden studios as playrooms for their kids. Keeping toys, books, and art materials separate reduces mess in the rest of the home. 

3. Hobby or art studio

Garden studios are also installed as hobby, crafts, and art workshops. Many designs offer spacious interiors for easels, knitting/sewing equipment, and model railways. 

4. Relaxation spaces

Relaxation spaces are another use case. Many people use their garden studios to kick back, relax, and chill out at the end of a tough day. 

Garden rooms are particularly relaxing in built-up areas like Manchester because they provide natural light and sound insulation. Once inside, many people feel miles away from the big city. 

5. Home gym

Finally, Manchester garden studios can become home gyms. Spaces are suitable for barbells, dumbbells, squat racks, benches, and fitness equipment when combined with proper flooring. 

Why Manchester?
