Building a wooden garden office provides a fantastic work space away from everyday family life and can add 30% to the value of your home. Recent economic events have been sobering for everyone, across all industries and across the entire country. Whether you work in banking or retail, or if you live in the South or the North – all of us have faced financial risks.
However, the thing that eats most of your money (your house) can also help youu to get out of it. If you have a house you can do so much, and not just by renting bits of it out …
There has been an increase in the number of people who have decided to set up their own business and start working for themselves. Starting out on your own can start with a lot of work in the evenings and weekends, even before you’ve quit your old job. The impact on your family life can be difficult. However if your house can accommodate a new business, it makes it all so much simpler, and you begin to see how it can all work out.
There are people who have to leave home before 7 o’clock every morning so they can get to work by 9 o’clock every day. Only to get home from work after 7 in the evening, too tired and grumpy to make the most of family time.
Here’s a new picture: rising at 8 in the morning in time for breakfast with family, wandering into a garden office where you work hard, but this time it’s for you. After work, you get to spend all the time you want to with your family – and you’re more relaxed because you haven’t just had to commute to your office.
Do you see the attraction?
Working from garden offices at home is becoming more and more popular these days – but you don’t have to use your garden room to start a new business, it has so many other uses such as a gym, a study, or extra rentable space. And if you decide to move, the good news doesn’t stop – having a stylish garden office or summerhouse in your garden can dramatically increase the value of your home.
One Bakers’ Timber Buildings customer said: “Originally we used the garden room as an office to start our business with desk and computer. Now we use it as a garden summerhouse and utility room fully insulated with heating and lighting”.
Sounds like a win-win situation? Bakers Timber has a range of wooden garden offices on show in their premises in Sussex – go and have a look at what can be achieved in garden office design. Or go to their website ( www.bakerstimber.co.uk ) to read more.
