Garden Office Scotland

A list of the benefits of working from home is a long one, which is why a growing number of people are choosing to work from home.

At Garden Room Sanctuary, we know exactly how adding a stylish and comfortable outdoor garden office to your residential property in Scotland will help you from work from home and also increases the overall value of your property.

No matter what design, shape or size, there is a garden office solution that suits your requirements.

It is cheaper, not to mention less stressful, than extending a house and can be put in place where you live in less than a fortnight.

Installing a garden office in Scotland won’t disturb your daily life at all either.

Once ready, you can be productive in peace without being disturbed.

Nor do you need to spend time commuting to an office.

That convenience, not to mention a clearer separation – both physically and mentally too – between home and work, is making a garden office an attractive option for more people.

Garden Room Sanctuary delivers our bespoke garden office designs across all parts of Scotland with no hidden costs.

Can I have a kitchen in my garden office?

If you want a garden office in Scotland that is truly self-contained, then a small kitchen can help you achieve exactly that.

Be mindful of how much space you need, and what impact a kitchen will have on your project.

Should you be working from home the whole time, then incorporating a small kitchen where you can make a cup of tea without having to return to the house is a tempting possibility.

We recommend confirming with your local planning authority in Scotland before proceeding because rules on permitted development prohibit an outbuilding from being used as self-contained living accommodation.

In some areas, installing a kitchen or shower to your garden office could impact its classification.

Adding them will increase the cost of the garden building installation project, in some cases significantly.

One option is to connect the garden office to an existing main water supply and sewerage system, which would need considerable groundwork.

Every design in the Garden Room Sanctuary range can be customised with a wide variety of additions at competitive prices.

We appreciate you need to feel comfortable in a space you will spend a lot of time, which is why we offer flexibility to have a kitchenette from the start.

Can I get Wi-Fi in my garden office?

You may crave a workspace away from distractions in the house, but that doesn’t mean you want to be disconnected from the world outside. However, fitting a garden office in Scotland can help with that.

Garden Room Sanctuary’s electrics package for garden offices doesn’t include cabling to enable internet access as standard, but we are happy to incorporate it into any design as an optional extra.

If you’re installing an electric supply in your garden building, then we recommend running an ethernet cable alongside that connects to a modem inside your garden office.

We won’t connect it to the mains power supply, and instead, recommend you to hire a local electrician to do exactly that.

Depending on where your garden office is situated, it might be possible to connect to your wireless home network.

However, if the distance is too great between your house and the garden office, then you may not get a good internet signal.

Even if is not, the wall insulation may reduce the signal strength and in turn prevent a connection from functioning as well as you would like.

A Wi-Fi extender is a cost-effective remedy and is a piece of kit that does exactly as described by connecting to your existing network.

It acts as a hotspot between the main router in the house and your garden room.

They are effective over distances of less than 30m, and you may need more than one if you are working further away.

We conduct a site survey to look at your property and garden size.

As part of the survey, we can consider your internet requirements and recommend a solution.
