The short answer is yes! A well-designed and well-built garden room can increase the overall value of your home.
Thinking of moving house to get more space? Thinking of a home extension? When considering ways to add value or space to your home, the traditional options like, adding a conservatory, or even extending your home come to mind. However, there’s an alternative growing in popularity that combines practicality, cost-effectiveness, and great design: self-build garden rooms. Use unloved space in your garden to transform your home and lifestyle.
Adding a 15 square metre garden room to your property can cost around £11,000, whilst purchasing a property of the same size would cost an average of £44,310 (Based on Rightmove’s latest reports)
In recent years, garden rooms have become a sought-after solution for homeowners who want extra space without the hassle of complex home extensions. Whether you’re looking for a home office, a gym, a hobby room, or just a peaceful space to relax, a garden room kit offers an affordable and flexible solution. Here’s how a self-build garden room kit can not only enhance your lifestyle but also boost your property’s value.
1. Garden Rooms Cost Less But Add The Same Value
Moving house, or home extensions can be expensive, especially when you factor in the cost of professional builders, architects, and planning permission. With a self-build garden room kit, you can add additional space to your property at a fraction of the cost.
A well-designed garden room can boost your property’s value by 5% to 15%, depending on its quality and functionality.
For a home valued at £300,000, this could mean an increase of £15,000 to £45,000.
2. Save Money and Time – Build In Less Than 5 Weeks
If you have a tight budget for your home improvements, this could be the perfect solution to get the most out of your budget. A garden room is a much quicker and less disruptive addition to your home compared to a conventional home extension, which often involves long construction periods – this can save you thousands! One of the standout benefits of choosing a self-build garden room kit is the speed at which you can have your new space.

3. High Quality, Low Maintenance = Long Term Value
When designing your garden room it is key to ensure your room uses high quality materials which will stand the test of time. One of the most appealing features of our self-build garden room kits is the use of ToughWood™ Cladding. ToughWood™ is an engineered wood that combines the natural beauty of wood with enhanced durability.
This eco-friendly material is a more environmentally responsible option compared to PVC or composite cladding. With minimal maintenance required, your investment will retain its appeal long-term and continue to add value to your property.
Unlike traditional timber, ToughWood™ resists cracking, chipping, buckling, and peeling. It’s also mould and fungal resistant, offering reliable protection in any climate.
4. Energy Efficiency with High-Quality Insulation
We are all feeling the price rise in energy bills. Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important to homeowners, not just for environmental reasons, but also to keep utility bills low. Ensure your garden room is fully insulated not only to appeal to future buyers, but also to keep your garden room comfortable for you, and in tip top condition.
Our garden rooms are constructed using sustainable materials, making them an eco-friendly alternative to traditional extensions. As buyers increasingly prioritise energy efficiency, a well-insulated garden room can make your property more attractive on the market.
Our garden rooms are fully insulated, with materials designed to provide exceptional thermal properties, keeping your garden room cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
5. Small Garden? Steep Slopes? No Problem! Transform Unused Garden Space
Rather than moving house to get more space, make use of unused space in your own garden to add value to your home, even if your garden is on a steep slope, or you don’t think it’s big enough.
One of the challenges of home improvements is dealing with uneven ground or small outdoor spaces. Our self-build garden rooms are designed to adapt to virtually any surface, including steep or sloped gardens. This means you can maximise your outdoor space in a way that traditional home extensions simply cannot, increasing your home’s overall functionality and appeal. We have worked with clients to design some amazing small spaces which have transformed their home and lifestyle – from a small home office pod, to an extra living space.
6. PLUS No Planning Permission Needed in Most Cases
One of the biggest advantages of a self-build garden room kit is that in most cases, no planning permission is required.
At Pent Haus, our garden rooms are designed to meet planning regulations, meaning usually you don’t need planning permission.
This eliminates the need for time-consuming and often costly planning applications, which are a common obstacle with traditional home extensions. This can save you time and money, which can help if you have a tight budget for home improvements. Not needing planning permission means you can get started on your garden room project almost immediately, without the delays or complications of waiting for approval. This simplifies the process, making it easier and faster to add value to your property.
So does a Garden Room add value?
A self-build garden room kit is an incredibly cost-effective and efficient way to add value to your property. It’s a cost-effective, fast, and stylish way to expand your home while also increasing its market value. Compared to buying additional property space, a self-build garden room is a far more affordable option, offering long-term financial and lifestyle benefits. Whether you’re looking for a home office, gym, or peaceful retreat, a garden room is a smart investment that enhances both your living space and property value. So why wait? Start designing your garden room today and see how easy it can be to transform your outdoor space into a valuable and versatile extension of your home.
