Buy a Summerhouse in 2024
Are you looking for a way to increase the value of your home while also having somewhere secluded to work or engage in a hobby?
If you have a large garden, it can be tempting to opt for a conservatory. However, in 2024, summerhouses have never been more popular, so you may want to look into these classy and elegant outdoor spaces as an alternative. Best of all, unlike a conservatory, which has to be attached to the home, you can choose the perfect location for your summerhouse based on what you want to use it for. If you want a makeshift space to grow plants without a greenhouse, you can place the summerhouse in a position where it gets more sunlight. If you need total silence, you can set it up far away from other buildings, shielded by bushes.
So, with that pro in mind, what are some reasons to consider buying a summerhouse this year? Our team at UK Garden Buildings answers that question below!
Eco-Friendly
Do you want to increase the value of your home without massively increasing your energy costs? Then, a contemporary summerhouse is the way to go.
Yes, a summerhouse may need some electrical wiring, but some of the options that we offer at UK Garden Buildings require minimal set-ups and don’t require a lot of energy to power. So, you can rest assured that when you add a summerhouse to your home, it won’t cost the earth! You can even set up solar panels to power it if you wish.
Price
One thing you will undoubtedly be thinking about is the price of the summerhouse. The cost of a summerhouse will obviously depend on its size and its complexities. However, in a simple comparison to setting up an extension on your home, a summerhouse is cheaper to buy and set up. There are minimal costs to laying a foundation and running electrical wiring and plumbing. So, it’s cost-effective and visually appealing! If you have a set budget for choosing your summerhouse, our team at UK Garden Buildings will be more than happy to help you search for your ideal contemporary summerhouse.
Additional Space
A core benefit of having a summerhouse built in your garden is that it provides you with additional room – which is a fantastic boost if you want to sell your home. As hinted at before, this can be used for an array of purposes, from growing plants to a yoga studio or even guest accommodation. Another pro it offers over home extensions is that it is quicker to set up, meaning you can use the space sooner rather than building a garden office brick by brick and waiting for contractors to finish the messy business of plastering.
May Not Need Planning Permission
It is the bane of every homeowner; you want to build something onto the side of your own home, and you need to get planning permission! Not to mention, then getting building regulation approval once it is built!
Luckily, the majority of summerhouses do not require planning permission because a summerhouse is considered a permitted development. So, you can begin planning as soon as you see one that you like on our website, and we will be more than happy to set up your contemporary summerhouse for you with no fuss!

Great bespoke garden room. Size, doors, and windows all as chosen.
Choice of fascia colours, colour of wood paint on the exterior and colour of laminate flooring. The staff were excellent and very polite. Efficiently put up, and tidy workmanship. Worked well with the electrician to get the cabling for lighting and sockets hidden.
Very pleased.
Ms Maria J
Brilliant customer service from start to finish. My beautiful summerhouse was installed by 2 very polite guys in less than 2 hours! I'm so pleased with the result and it fits so well in our garden. Great value for money and a super product... love the colour and finish!
Mrs Claire Kerby
We ordered an 8x6 summerhouse (Lichfield) from this company. The experience was excellent from start to finish. Telephone and E-mail communication was prompt and always helpful. Installation went smoothly despite access difficulties as every section had to go through the house. The fitters took great care and the finished job looks amazing. In this day and age, it is hard to find such a good company.
Mr David Smith
Delighted with our Denby summer house.
It was delivered when they said it would be on December 15th. It was freezing, about -3C. We felt sorry for the two lads who installed it but they cracked on and did it.
Getting it pre-painted was a good decision. Since then I have lined it and painted the interior. It's now ready to enjoy - a bit of sun yesterday gave us a hint of summer.
Mr John Dempsy
We have been very pleased with our lovely Dalbury building. Fitting was sooner than expected and very professionally carried out by Ryan and Tommie. A fault with the locking mechanism developed later; this was speedily and again very professionally put right by Dan and Rich. We use the building frequently as a relaxing space - no internet! - just to read or listen to music. Very, very pleased and would certainly recommend.
