Did you know that summer houses have existed for centuries? Whilst the summer house has been a familiar sight across the UK for a long time, it has been around for hundreds of years. Many writers, like Henry James, Charles Dickens, and George Bernard Shaw, spent a lot of time cooped up in their own summer houses creating some of their best work! But whilst we’re not all exceptionally as talented, it doesn’t mean we don’t deserve our very own spot where we can ‘do our thing,’ whether you would like to have a place to read, dine, or write or just a place where you can let your hair down. Garden summer houses are an excellent investment, regardless if you use them for work, relaxation, or play. But what else do you need to know about why a garden summer house can be the perfect investment for your property? Let’s find out.
- Extend and enhance your living space
You can have your summerhouse built as close to your own home as possible, or you can have it tucked away at the end of an access road in your property, but there’s no doubt that it’s an ideal way to extend and enhance your living space. It can serve as an excellent extension to your existing living space, and with it, you can have extra room to relax and have fun. You can make it even better by adding insulation and electricity, and this way, you can use it throughout the year.
- Use it as your office
Garden summer houses aren’t just for having fun in the summer. But what if you can also use it as your office? You can consider it your private getaway where you can work plus relax, and since there are now more people working from home, it’s the perfect spot where you don’t have to get disturbed with household goings-on and can concentrate on your tasks with ease. Plus, since it’s in your garden, all you have to do if you need a break is step out and take in some fresh air and the beautiful plants and flowers all around you.
- Enjoy and appreciate your garden at any time
We all love spending time in nature, but if the weather isn’t cooperating, it can be difficult to appreciate the beautiful landscape in our properties. But with a garden summerhouse, you can appreciate your garden and its beauty at any time, even whilst it’s snowing or raining. You can sit inside your garden summerhouse and stay warm whilst enjoying the sights and sounds of wildlife in your garden and admiring the flora.
- You can use it as a family retreat
If you want a place where you and your family can have fun and relax within reach of the great outdoors, your garden summerhouse can serve as a perfect family retreat. It can be hard to live in just one abode with our entire families – sometimes, the space seems too small for everyone! Choose a design with big picture windows so you feel like you’re still in the midst of nature and it opens up and becomes brighter and airier. Make it a point to decorate the summerhouse with cosy couches and rugs, and you can spend time with your loved ones at this beautiful retreat any time of the year.
