Garden Rooms

 

More people than ever are opting to extend their homes rather than move. Creating new spaces,  more room and improving the layout can make your home work more efficiently. Garden rooms can be designed to create an area where you can enjoy the warm breeze of a summer day, or in winter, shut out the cold and get cosy by the fire! Garden rooms are a fantastic way to let you enjoy your garden all year round. Good design will create a seamless transition between the house and the garden.

Whilst the majority of garden rooms are attached to properties, they can work just as well free standing as a part of your garden. Garden Rooms by Kent Building Developments can create that special area for different uses such as,
 

      Studios for art work and pottery

      Home cinema

     Children's playrooms

     Teenage hideaways

     Swimming pools

     Home offices

 

 A Garden Room may be a once in a life time opportunity, therefore,  good planning and design will make sure your Garden Room brings you more space, adds value to your home and complements the style and individuality of your home.

Thinking about an extension?

If you own a property or are thinking of buying one, there are many ways you can improve it to create the extra space you need.  A well designed and well built extension will not only give you the extra spaces you need but also add value to and improve the appearance of your home.

What you need to consider before you start

Good planning will ensure your extension delivers your initial vision. So before you begin determine what your extension is for?  This sounds obvious but deciding you need extra space without planning how to achieve this can lead to disappointment and even worse extra space that doesn’t meet your needs.  

What you need extra space for?

 A growing family

A home office

To accommodate adult children or elderly parents

Leisure activities

You’ve bought a new property and want to make improvements

How your new extension will achieve this?

A games room

A garden room

A swimming pool

Office space

A dining and entertaining space

A conservatory

Kitchen diner

Budget of course is a major factor and having a definite budget will help design and extra space decisions easier to make.

Do you need an architect?

There is no doubt that you need a professional to design your extension and draw up the plans. However using a complete design and build service has many advantages over using individuals for the various stages of creating your dream home.  

Having one company to deal with means your project will run smoothly with no need for plan alterations and updates between different professionals.  An experienced complete design and build company will help you to find the best ways to solve your extra space needs and will also take care of any planning application you will need.
