visit and inspect the quality in person before committing to any purchase.
Seeing the craftsmanship, materials and finishes for yourself is the best way to make a confident and informed decision.
Whilst we cannot display everything we offer, we have carefully selected around 80 different buildings that allow us to demonstrate almost every feature, design option, and construction detail in one form or another.
This allows you to compare styles, sizes and specifications, ask any questions you may have, and find the building that best suits your needs.
So, yes, it is absolutely worth visiting.

Garden Rooms & Garden Offices
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful place to work, a home gym, an art studio, or simply somewhere to relax, a quality garden room gives you valuable extra space without the cost and disruption of extending your home.
At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, we’ve been helping customers choose timber garden buildings since 1979. During that time, we’ve seen garden rooms become one of the most popular additions to UK homes, and it’s easy to understand why. They offer the flexibility to create a room that’s designed around your lifestyle while making the most of the space you already have.
Every garden is different, and so is every customer. That’s why our garden rooms are available in a wide choice of sizes, styles and finishes, allowing you to create a building that’s practical today and adaptable for the future. Whether you need a compact garden office for remote working or a larger insulated garden room for everyday family use, we’ll help you choose the right solution for your garden and your budget.
Many of our buildings can be customised with insulation, double glazing, painted finishes and professional installation, making them comfortable to use throughout the year. If you’re unsure where to begin, our experienced team is always happy to offer straightforward advice, and you’re welcome to visit our Surrey display site to compare different models in person.
1st Choice Tip… Visit a display site to compare garden room sizes, layouts and finishes before deciding.
Did you know? Many garden rooms can be customised with insulation, paint finishes and double glazing.
Why Choose a Garden Room?
A garden room is much more than an attractive timber building. It gives you extra living space while keeping your home exactly as it should be.
For many people, the biggest advantage is having a dedicated area that’s separate from the house. Instead of turning the dining table into an office or giving up a spare bedroom, you have a purpose-built space where you can focus, relax or enjoy your hobbies without distractions.
Garden rooms have become increasingly popular because they adapt as your life changes. Today’s home office could become tomorrow’s gym, hobby room, teenage den or peaceful retirement retreat. Investing in a well-built garden room gives you the flexibility to meet your family’s changing needs for many years to come.
Compared with a traditional extension, a garden room is often quicker to install, creates far less disruption and provides a completely separate environment that many homeowners prefer. It also allows you to make better use of your garden while adding a stylish feature to your outdoor space.
Because every building is made to order, you aren’t restricted to a one-size-fits-all solution. You can choose the size, roof style, window layout and optional features that suit the way you intend to use the building, creating a garden room that’s tailored to your property rather than adapted to fit it.
A Garden Room for Every Lifestyle
One of the reasons garden rooms have become so popular is their versatility. While many customers first enquire about a garden office, they’re often surprised by just how many different ways these buildings can be used.
Garden Offices
Working from home has become part of everyday life for many people, but it isn’t always easy to concentrate when your workspace is also your living space.
A dedicated garden office creates a clear separation between work and home life. At the start of the day, you walk to work. At the end of the day, you close the door and leave work behind. It’s a small change that many customers tell us makes a significant difference to productivity and wellbeing.
With options including insulation, double glazing and electrical preparation, an insulated garden office provides a comfortable workspace throughout the seasons while offering a professional setting for video meetings and client calls.
Home Gyms
Why pay monthly gym membership when you can exercise whenever it suits you?
A garden gym gives you the freedom to create your own workout space without filling the house with equipment. Whether you’re interested in strength training, yoga, cycling or general fitness, your garden room can be designed to suit the equipment you plan to use.
Studios & Creative Spaces
Artists, photographers, musicians and craftspeople often need somewhere quiet where they can concentrate without interruption.
Natural light, peaceful surroundings and a dedicated workspace make a garden room an ideal studio. Whether you’re painting, writing, sewing or recording music, having a room designed around your creativity allows you to enjoy your hobbies in comfort throughout the year.
Family Rooms & Places to Relax
Not every garden room needs to be about work.
Many customers want somewhere to escape the busy household for an hour or two. It might become a reading room, gaming room, garden lounge or somewhere to enjoy the view with friends and family.
Because these buildings are designed for year-round use, they quickly become a natural extension of your home while allowing you to appreciate your garden in every season.
1st Choice Tip… A versatile garden room creates the perfect space for work, fitness, creativity or relaxation all year round.
Did you know? A dedicated garden room can improve productivity, wellbeing and work-life balance while adding valuable living space.
Designed Around the Way You Live
Choosing a garden room isn’t just about selecting a building that fits your garden. It’s about creating a space you’ll enjoy using for many years.
That’s why we encourage customers to think about how they’ll use their building not only today, but in the future. A little extra space now can make a significant difference if your needs change later.
Our garden rooms are available in a wide range of sizes and designs, from compact offices for one person through to spacious family garden rooms suitable for multiple uses. You can also personalise your building with different roof styles, window and door layouts, exterior finishes and practical upgrades such as insulation and double glazing.
Rather than selling the most expensive option, we aim to help you choose a garden room that offers the right balance of comfort, practicality and long-term value.
After more than four decades supplying timber garden buildings, we’ve learned that the best garden room isn’t necessarily the largest one—it’s the one that’s designed around the way you’ll use it.
If you’re comparing different options, visiting our Surrey display site is one of the best ways to appreciate the quality of the buildings, explore different layouts and speak with experienced advisors who can help you make an informed decision.
Choosing the Right Garden Room
The best garden room isn’t simply the one that fits your available space – it’s the one that suits the way you plan to use it.
Before choosing a model, think about how the building will work for you daily. Will it mainly be an office with room for a desk and storage? Will it need space for gym equipment, creative projects or family activities? Could it have a different purpose in five or ten years?
Answering these questions first will make it much easier to choose the right size and specification.
We often encourage customers to allow a little more space than they initially think they’ll need. A garden room that feels generous today is far more likely to remain practical as your needs change, while a building that’s too small can quickly become restrictive.
It’s also worth thinking about where the building will sit within your garden. Positioning it to make the most of natural light, attractive views and easy access will make it a more enjoyable place to spend time throughout the year.
Whatever your requirements, we aim to help you choose a garden room that offers the right combination of comfort, practicality and value, rather than paying for features you don’t need.
Features That Make the Difference
Every customer has different priorities, which is why our garden rooms are available with a wide range of options and finishes.
Choosing the right combination of features allows you to create a building that’s perfectly suited to your lifestyle.
Insulation for Year-Round Comfort
If you plan to use your garden room regularly, insulation is one of the most worthwhile upgrades you can make.
A well-insulated garden room stays warmer during the winter, remains cooler in the summer and helps reduce outside noise, creating a far more comfortable environment whether you’re working, exercising or relaxing.
Combined with double glazing and quality construction, insulation transforms a garden room into a space that’s enjoyable to use throughout the year rather than just during the warmer months.
Double Glazing
Double-glazed windows and doors improve both comfort and energy efficiency while reducing condensation and external noise.
They also help create a quieter environment for home offices, music rooms and other spaces where concentration is important.
Windows & Doors
The position and style of your windows and doors have a big influence on both the appearance and practicality of your building.
Large glazed areas maximise natural light, while different layouts allow you to balance privacy, ventilation and access depending on how the room will be used.
Roof Styles
Whether you prefer the clean lines of a pent roof or the more traditional appearance of an apex roof, choosing the right design helps your new garden room complement both your home and your garden.
Both styles offer excellent durability, so your decision often comes down to personal taste and the overall look you’re trying to achieve.
Exterior Finishes
Many customers choose a painted finish to coordinate with their home, fencing or landscaping.
Available in a range of colours, these finishes provide an attractive appearance while helping to protect the timber and reduce future maintenance.
1st Choice Tip… Choose insulation and double glazing together for a comfortable, energy-efficient garden room you can enjoy all year round.
Did you know? Exterior finishes not only enhance appearance but also protect timber and help reduce future maintenance.
Built Around Your Requirements
Because every garden room is manufactured to order, you aren’t limited to standard layouts.
Depending on the range you choose, you may be able to customise:
- Building size
- Window and door positions
- Roof style
- Exterior finish
- Insulation
- Double glazing
- Internal lining
- Electrical preparation
- Heating and cooling options
- Storage sections on selected models
This flexibility allows you to create a building that works for your garden instead of compromising with a standard design.
Whether you’re looking for a compact office or a larger multi-purpose garden room, we’ll help you choose the specification that offers the best long-term value.
Planning Permission
One of the first questions we’re asked is whether planning permission is required.
The good news is that many garden rooms can be installed under Permitted Development rights, meaning formal planning permission often isn’t necessary.
However, every property is different.
Factors such as the size and height of the building, where it’s positioned, whether your home is listed or located within a conservation area, and how the building will be used can all influence the rules that apply.
If you’re unsure, we’ll always recommend checking the latest guidance before ordering, and our team is happy to explain the considerations involved.
For most customers buying a garden office, hobby room or leisure building for domestic use, the process is often much more straightforward than they expect.
Free Professional Installation
Choosing professional installation gives you confidence that your garden room has been assembled correctly from the very beginning.
Our experienced installation teams ensure your building is erected safely, accurately and to a high standard, allowing doors, windows and roof sections to perform exactly as intended.
For many customers, our free professional assembly service removes the stress of a self-build project and means your garden room is ready to enjoy much sooner.
If you’ve already prepared a suitable base, installation is often completed surprisingly quickly, allowing you to start furnishing and enjoying your new space without unnecessary delays.
Preparing for Installation
Every quality garden room deserves a solid foundation.
A level, well-prepared base supports the building properly, helps maintain correct door and window alignment and contributes to the long-term performance of the structure.
Depending on your site, suitable foundations may include a concrete base, paving slabs or specialist foundation systems.
If you’re unsure which option is right for your garden, we’re always happy to offer practical advice before you place your order.
Getting these details right at the beginning helps ensure your new garden room provides many years of reliable service with minimal maintenance.
Looking After Your Garden Room
A quality timber garden room is built to provide years of enjoyment, and with a little routine care it will continue to look its best for many seasons.
Simple maintenance, such as treating the timber when required, checking the roof and keeping drainage clear where fitted, helps protect your investment and maintain the appearance of the building.
We’ll also provide guidance on caring for your garden room, helping you enjoy the benefits of your new space for years to come.
1st Choice Tip… Most garden rooms fall under Permitted Development, but always check your property’s specific planning requirements before ordering.
Did you know? A level, properly prepared base helps your garden room last longer and keeps doors and windows aligned correctly.

How to Keep Your Garden Office Secure
Garden offices often contain valuable equipment such as laptops, monitors, printers and confidential documents. Installing high-quality locks, security lighting, alarms and CCTV can help protect your building and its contents. Choosing secure doors and windows and keeping expensive equipment out of sight also reduces the risk of theft. Read our complete guide to garden office security.
How to Get Reliable Wi-Fi in Your Garden Office
A fast and reliable internet connection is essential for video calls, cloud-based work and everyday productivity. Depending on the distance from your home, you can extend your existing Wi-Fi, install a mesh network, use Powerline adapters or run an Ethernet cable for maximum performance. Discover the best ways to get Wi-Fi in your garden office.
Heating and Insulating Your Garden Office
A properly insulated garden office can be used comfortably throughout the year. High-quality wall, roof and floor insulation, combined with double glazing and an efficient heating system, helps maintain a comfortable temperature during winter while keeping the building cooler in summer. Learn more about insulating and heating a garden office.
Adding a Toilet to a Garden Office
If you spend long periods working outdoors, adding a toilet can make your garden office significantly more convenient. Installing a WC may require water, drainage and electrical connections, so it’s important to understand the practical and regulatory considerations before starting the project. Find out what’s involved in adding a toilet to a garden room or office.
Can You Move a Garden Office?
If you’re moving home, it may be possible to relocate your garden office rather than leaving it behind. Whether this is practical depends on the building’s size, construction method and condition. Professional dismantling and reinstallation can often make relocation a viable option. Read our guide to moving a garden office.
These guides are written using the knowledge we’ve gained from supplying timber buildings for more than four decades, helping you understand the options available before making your final decision.
