Garden Offices and Studios in Exmoor
A proper working room: insulated, quiet, warm through a February gale, and lit for long days at a desk or an easel. A world away from the kitchen table.
The room
Working from home stops feeling like a compromise when the office is its own building, with its own door and no radio from the kitchen.
We build for year-round use: thick insulation, an airtight shell, flooring and decoration finished to the standard of the main house.
Studio use too, where north light and clear wall space matter more than a desk.

Work that goes in alongside the office
Not sure whether yours fits? It usually does, and if not we will point you to someone who can help.
Siting, levels and permitted development
Exmoor National Park and the coastal parishes treat outbuildings differently from most places. We site and size the room with those limits in view, and say early when a formal check is worth making.
Verandas, canopies and decking
A covered deck stretches the room's season either side of summer. These go in alongside the main job, while the plant is already on site and the levels are still open.
Work inside the main house
The business grew out of major property refurbishment: farmhouses back to brick, whole family homes remodelled. If the project touches a utility, a boot room or an opening indoors, we can take it on.
After the handover
Doors settle, timber moves, the first winter tests everything. The twelve-month workmanship guarantee covers that, and we come back to adjust rather than argue. Call or text; you get the same faces.
Questions we get asked a lot
What comes up before a garden office starts
Will it be comfortable to use in winter?
That is the whole reason we build to house standard. Insulation, careful detailing where junctions meet, and a weathering specification chosen for driven rain off the moor and salt air nearer the coast. A garden office you can still work in during a February gale.
Can the room have power, heating and water?
Yes, and it is worth deciding early, because cable and pipe routes affect where the base sits. The building is designed around its services and the ducting goes in during groundworks. Certified electrical and plumbing connections are left to the trades qualified to sign them off.
Will I need planning permission for a garden room?
Often not: many garden rooms sit within permitted development. The plot decides it though, including height, how close you build to a boundary, and whether you are inside Exmoor National Park or a conservation area. We check where you stand at the survey stage and tell you straight.
