Corner garden rooms are a unique and innovative solution to maximise space in your garden. Designed to fit seamlessly into a corner of your outdoor area, these structures are sturdy and versatile. They can serve multiple purposes, whether you want an additional home office, an art studio, or a place to relax and enjoy your garden.
The clever, space-saving design of these garden rooms allows them to blend harmoniously with your garden’s natural aesthetic, creating a functional yet beautiful addition to your home. Corner garden rooms are an investment in your property’s value and quality of life.
At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, we take pride in offering exceptional garden rooms in quality, design, and functionality.
Our corner garden rooms are constructed from high-quality redwood deal timber, known for its durability and natural beauty. Unlike other options that may use OSB artificial boards, we do NOT use these boards.
We ensure that every part of your corner garden office is built from solid timber, offering a robust, eco-friendly solution that will stand the test of time.
Energy efficiency is at the heart of our design. Our optional insulation ensures that your corner garden room remains comfortable throughout the year no matter the weather. By maintaining a stable indoor temperature, our insulated garden rooms reduce the need for additional heating or cooling, helping you save on energy costs and contribute to a greener environment.
Natural light is essential in creating a welcoming and productive space. Our garden rooms come with toughened glass windows that allow plenty of sunlight to fill the room and provide enhanced security. These windows are designed to be both beautiful and practical, offering a clear view of your garden while ensuring your privacy and safety.
No two gardens are the same, and neither are our garden rooms. We offer fully bespoke designs, allowing you to customise every aspect of your corner garden room to match your needs and tastes.
From the size and layout to the finish and optional colour finish, you have the freedom to create a garden room that truly reflects your style and complements your home. Our team will guide you through the customisation process, ensuring that your unique vision is brought to life without any unnecessary complexity or cost.
An insulated garden office offers a comfortable environment all year round. This means that you can safely make it a permanent addition as your go-to home office. Some clients even turn their insulated corner garden office into an impromptu guest room.
The bottom line is that you’ll always be comfortable, no matter the weather outside. The insulation also helps with soundproofing, providing a quiet, peaceful space where you can focus without being distracted by the surrounding noises.
Opting for an insulated corner garden room has numerous advantages beyond just having extra space in your garden. Here are some key benefits:
Unlike uninsulated structures that might only be suitable for seasonal use, an insulated garden office is built for year-round enjoyment. Your corner garden room will be a welcoming space no matter the season, which makes it a worthy investment.

At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, we aim to provide a garden shed that meets all your needs. That means it’s important to us to combine our skill and experience with your preferences to build a garden shed for your home that suits your aesthetics and provides exceptional functionality.
You step across the lawn, shut the door, and the office world goes silent. The concept behind a garden office is straightforward yet highly effective. It creates a physical boundary between your professional and personal life. In short, after a working day, you can shut the door and walk away, leaving work behind. This clear division helps maintain a healthier balance between work and leisure time, and you will notice the impact immediately.
A well-built garden room adds practical living space and broader appeal to your property. Unlike traditional internal renovations, a garden office increases your usable square footage without disrupting your home. For future buyers, this is an attractive feature.
Compared to renting office space or building an extension, a garden office makes perfect financial sense. The one-time investment saves on commuting costs and office rental and reduces utility bills since you are only heating a small space rather than your entire house.
You could save up to £3,200 each year, as commuting can cost around £1,000 annually, while office rentals might average £1,500, and utility savings can add another £700 back into your pocket.
Unlike a dreary corporate office or cobbled-together home setup, a building with garden office installation is yours to design exactly as you wish. You control every aspect of your work environment to suit your own personal tastes and requirements.
With various options available, which garden room is the best choice for you? Let’s take a look at the different types.
Designed for year-round use, insulated garden room offices include insulation in the walls, roof, and floor. Models like the Royal and Regent come fully insulated, while Platinum options offer it as a custom upgrade.

Delivered pre-painted in a colour of your choice, our painted garden rooms save time and effort. They arrive ready to go and offer long-lasting protection with minimal upkeep. Available across the Regent, Royal, and Platinum ranges.
Perfect for tighter gardens, corner garden rooms fit neatly into unused space without compromising the interior space. Our Bursledon and Hamble models offer a practical layout that cleverly uses every square foot.
For smaller gardens or specific corner spaces, our garden office pods feature right-angle layouts that tuck neatly into garden corners. These compact structures provide a comfortable workspace for one or two people without dominating your garden.
Compact garden offices work wonderfully in smaller gardens. An 8×6 ft office provides ample space for a desk, chair, and modest storage, while maintaining a compact footprint – ideal for writers, remote workers with minimal equipment, or anyone needing a dedicated focus space.
Medium-sized garden rooms offer far greater flexibility. You can include a proper desk setup, storage cabinets, and perhaps a small meeting area. These sizes accommodate standard office furniture while still fitting into average British gardens.
Spacious garden offices provide luxurious working environments. Sizes ranging from 16×14 ft to 28×16 ft offer ample space for multiple functions – perhaps a main workspace, a meeting table, a creative zone, or even a small kitchenette.
Custom sizes are also available to fit your specific garden dimensions and work requirements.

Apex roofs deliver generous central headroom and classic charm. Their design facilitates effective rain and snow runoff while maintaining a timeless look that suits most garden styles.
With a single sloping surface, pent roofs offer clean, contemporary lines. These modern designs often stay under the 2.5m height restriction near boundaries, while the higher front wall allows for larger windows, maximising natural light.
Specially designed for corner garden offices, these roofs feature multiple slopes that meet at the corner junction. This clever design allows buildings to nestle into garden corners without awkward overhangs, maximising space while ensuring proper drainage.

Available with our premium Royal Garden Rooms, Strong Core is a high-performance engineered material offering exceptional durability with minimal maintenance. Unlike timber, it won’t warp or rot, providing a contemporary finish that withstands British weather with little upkeep.
Tongue-and-groove log lap features rounded external faces, creating a traditional log cabin appearance. Each board interlocks securely with the next, providing excellent insulation properties and a rustic charm for those who prefer a classic aesthetic.
One of our most popular options, T&G shiplap, consists of flat timber boards with a slight overlap creating subtle shadow lines. This interlocking system provides excellent weather resistance while maintaining a clean appearance that suits most gardens.
Also known as overlap cladding, weatherboard features tapered boards that overlap each other, allowing efficient water runoff. This traditional style adds texture and character while providing reliable protection from the elements.
A properly insulated garden office can transform a seasonal building into a comfortable year-round workspace. Given our harsh British winters, proper insulation is essential for anyone working out of a garden office in the UK.
At 1st Choice Leisure Buildings, our premium Royal garden rooms include:
- Insulated walls, floors, and roofs for temperature regulation
- Quality double-glazed windows and doors to prevent heat loss
- Proper ventilation options for summer cooling
This comprehensive insulation system maintains comfortable working temperatures with minimal heating in winter, while keeping excessive heat out during summer.
Models like our Royal and Regent garden rooms in Guildford come fully insulated as standard, whereas many Platinum-range buildings offer insulation as an upgrade. For year-round use in the British climate, we strongly recommend choosing an insulated garden office.
Visualise the play of morning light spilling onto a reclaimed-oak desk, filling the room with a warm glow. Our customisation options allow you to adjust the positions of the garden room’s windows and doors, and add additional windows for extra light. You can also modify internal layouts to suit your workflow.
Many buildings can be adapted with partitions, different door styles, or bespoke dimensions to create your ideal workspace.

Our garden offices are manufactured in Britain by skilled craftspeople using premium materials. Unlike mass-produced imports, our buildings are specifically designed for the British climate with attention to detail that ensures longevity.
We believe in honest business practices. While some competitors advertise “10-year warranties” with nearly impossible conditions, we offer straightforward warranties that provide genuine protection. Manufacturing issues typically occur within the first 12 months due to seasonal changes, which is exactly what our warranty covers.
Every garden is unique, which is why we offer truly adaptable designs. We can adjust sizes, door and window positions, and internal layouts to suit your specific requirements rather than limiting you to standard models.
Most of our garden room offices include free assembly by experienced professionals. This valuable service ensures your building is erected correctly, saving you time and potential headaches.

Can I use a corner garden room all year round in the Surrey climate?
Yes — as long as it’s
insulated properly. Surrey winters aren’t the harshest, but you’ll still want good insulation and decent glazing so the room stays warm. When built properly, people use these rooms year-round for work, hobbies, or as quiet relaxation space.
-
Do I need planning permission for a corner garden room in Surrey?
Most Surrey homes don’t need
planning permission for a corner garden room because the structure falls under the usual permitted development rules. The only places you might need to double-check are conservation areas around Guildford, Shalford, and some parts of Godalming. A quick check avoids delays later.
-
What maintenance does a corner garden room need in Surrey weather?
-
What should I ask before ordering a corner garden room in Guildford or Surrey?
Useful questions include:
* Will this exact design fit cleanly into my garden’s corner shape?
* What insulation do you recommend for year-round use in Surrey?
* Which base option works best for my soil?
* How much access space do you need to get materials into my garden?
* What guarantees do you offer on the building?
These help you make sure the room suits your garden and local conditions.
-
Why are corner garden rooms popular in Surrey and Guildford gardens?
A lot of Surrey and Guildford gardens are either slightly sloped, irregular in shape, or not huge on space. A corner garden room lets you use a part of the garden that often gets wasted. It tucks neatly into the corner without taking over the main lawn or patio, which is why homeowners here tend to favour this style.
-
Will a corner garden room get enough natural light if it’s tucked into the corner?
It can — it just depends on where you place the windows and doors. In Guildford gardens that face south or west, getting natural light is easy. If your garden is more shaded, the installer can position windows to catch as much daylight as possible.
-
Will a corner garden room take up too much space in my Surrey garden?
No — that’s the point of the design. Because the room sits diagonally in the corner, you actually save space in the main part of the garden. Many people in Guildford choose a corner layout because it makes the whole garden feel more open.
-
Will a corner garden room work in a Guildford garden with clay or uneven ground?
Yes — as long as the
right base is put in first. Many Guildford gardens have clay soil or gentle slopes, but a proper concrete base or ground-screw system levels everything out. Once the base is sorted, the corner building sits securely and won’t shift.
