Who Can Benefit From a Garden Bedroom?
Creating a spare bedroom for a teenager, a guest or even a long-term live-in relative is easy – an en-suite and additional living space can be added if your vision demands something luxurious. Whatever you need, we can accommodate it within your space. Many people can benefit from these spaces…
Families with Older Children
Older children might not be ready to fly the nest, or with the current housing market, they simply can’t afford it. However, space in the family home is getting too restrictive and as parents, you want them to have that extra independence too.Â
With a garden bedroom, they get some of the benefits of their own space and responsibilities and as parents, you get part of the family home back. You might even get them to tidy it too.
Older Children with Additional Needs
If a child has additional needs, sometimes renting or owning their own property might not seem plausible. Here an insulated garden bedroom comes into play again and offers independence and responsibilities while still keeping them close enough to home where needed
Elderly Relatives
If a parent or elderly family member needs to downsize because their house is too much for them to take care of in their later years, you could accommodate them with a bit of extra space. A garden bedroom provides the perfect safe space while keeping a degree of privacy and independence.
Guests
With a busy lifestyle you may often have guests over to stay. A garden bedroom will provide you with a space to offer accommodation without disruption to your main household. No more room sharing or sleeping on the sofa, an individual room provides the perfect luxury to welcome your friends and family.
Do Garden Bedrooms need Planning Permission?
Depending on the size, garden bedrooms may or may not require planning permission. However, if they are being used for residential use instead of incidental use then planning permission may be required. Speak to a member of our team who will be able to guide you further on this.
Frequently Asked Questions
SIPs are made by sandwiching a layer of insulation between two structural layers. The insulation is often in the form of foam, and SIPs panels commonly have Oriented Strand Board (OSB) walls. This makes for a very strong and energy-efficient panel that can be used to build walls, floors, and roofs.
This depends on the use of the room and most importantly the size of it. Our team can advise on the best approach to gaining permission should it be neeeded.
Yes, with the correct planning permission and build regulations in place, a garden room can be used for living in.
When it comes to eco-friendly construction methods, there are two main types of materials that are used: SIPs and timber frames. Both have advantages, and it’s important to understand the difference between SIPs and timber frame construction.
The Hideout Process
You’re only five steps away from your dream space.
Garden Bedroom Construction
If you’re looking for a garden bedroom, then SIP builds are the ideal style. Our buildings are built using energy efficient, structurally insulated panels (SIPS) for the walls, floor and roof.
Panels are used for the splines between the panels to insulate your building and prevent any ‘cold bridging’ areas. SIPs panels are lightweight and strong making it a quicker, easier and versatile option to use on a project. The panels also offer a low U rating which means that your building can be cosy in the winter and cool in the summer.
We use a variety of different foundation systems, but our preferred method is galvanised steel pile foundations overwrapped with a DPC layer and then levelled to ensure the build is from a completely flat platform. The ground screws are environmentally friendly and can be installed quicker than concrete at any time of the year, in any weather.
Using ground screws can allow for buildings to be built on sloping or uneven sites. The alternative foundations we can provide include a concrete base or jack pads. The best system for you would be determined when our team carry out a free site survey.
Alternatively, we can provide a smaller pod-sized building with just as much capability as a room. Each design of a pod is intended to offer an attractive and practical space built for durability, warmth and strong against adverse weather conditions.
Do Garden Bedrooms affect Council Tax?
Yes, having a garden bedroom constructed could affect your council tax as they increase your property value and usable space. A member of our team can advise on this further or you may wish to consult your council’s website for further information.
