From the rolling hills of the South Hams to the rugged coastline of North Devon, our relationship with our homes is changing. At Garden Rooms of Devon, we've seen a significant shift in how people view their outdoor space. What was once just a patch of lawn is becoming the most valuable "room" in the house.
The days of the flimsy, draughty summer house—which inevitably became a graveyard for rusty garden tools by October—are long gone. Today, Devon residents are looking for year-round, high-specification architectural retreats that serve a lifetime of purposes.
The Modern Workspace and Beyond
The rise of hybrid working has hit the Southwest hard, with more professionals than ever ditching the commute to Exeter or Plymouth in favor of a home-based setup.
The statistics are staggering: property listings mentioning a garden office have seen an increase of over 1000% in the last decade. But at Garden Rooms of Devon, we believe a building should do more than just hold a desk. Our designs are built for fluidity. A space that functions as a focused corporate office at 10:00 AM can effortlessly transform into a yoga sanctuary or a teenagers' cinema room by 6:00 PM.
Boosting Your Property Value in the Devon Market
In a competitive local property market, a premium garden building is a powerful asset. Experts suggest that a high-quality, permanent garden room can add up to 10% to your home's valuation.
However, "high quality" is the operative phrase. To truly add value, a building must be indistinguishable from a primary residence in terms of comfort. Our builds focus on:
Residential Grade Insulation: 100mm cavity wall systems for comfort in the depths of a Dartmoor winter.
Certified Electrics: Fully integrated power, LED lighting, and climate control.
Planning Expertise: Navigating Devon's specific permitted development and AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) guidelines.
Local Craftsmanship: Professional installation tailored to the unique terrain of our county.
Designed for Every Stage of Life
One of the greatest benefits of a Garden Rooms of Devon installation is its longevity. We don't just build for your current needs; we build for your future.
As your life evolves, so does the room. That "commuter's cabin" today can become an art studio for your retirement, a music room for your children, or a guest bunkhouse for visiting family during the summer holidays. By investing in an open-plan, adaptable layout, you ensure the space never becomes redundant.
Features That Drive Versatility:
Open-Plan Freedom: No restrictive internal walls, allowing you to reconfigure furniture as your hobbies change.
Smart Climate Control: WiFi-enabled heating ensures the room is as welcoming in January as it is in July.
Natural Light Maximisation: Large glass elevations to capture that famous Devon light—perfect for artists and remote workers alike.
Bespoke Storage: Options for integrated, fold-away furniture that hides the "office" when it's time to relax.
A Smart Financial Investment
Beyond the joy of extra space, the financial logic for Devon homeowners is clear. When you calculate the combined savings of office rental fees, gym memberships, and the capital appreciation of your property, a multipurpose garden room often pays for itself within a few short years.
Whether you are in Torquay, Barnstaple, or Totnes, your garden holds the potential for a more flexible, inspired way of living.
