Garden Office Kent
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 Kent 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 Kent 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 Kent with no hidden costs.
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 Kent 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.
How big can my garden office be?
Most garden offices don’t need planning permission from your local planning authority and installing one is a straightforward and stress-free choice from start to finish.
To prove as much, all of the Garden Room Sanctuary’s offers are designed to comply with existing building regulations.
That means you don’t have to spend more money, and waste time, going through an planning application process with Kent Council.
That is because garden building are classified as permitted development, providing they meet the following conditions:
- They must not take up more than half of the area of land around the original house
- A single-storey structure with a maximum eaves height – measured from ground level at the base of the outside wall to a point where it meets the upper surface of a flat roof – of 2.5m
- An overall height, including the roof, of no more than 4m
- The build must not be within 2m of a boundary if it is taller than 2.5m, or 1m if it is less than that
- No verandas, balconies or raised platforms
- No sleeping accommodation, nor plans to use it as a living space
We have a wide range of design options for garden offices in Kent, including bespoke solutions tailored exactly to what you need, within the parameters above.
