A proper garden office,
not a shed with a desk in it
The Paradise range: insulated walls, roof and floor, double glazing as standard, and an inside that arrives ready to paint. From £6,250 including VAT and free UK mainland delivery.
- Warm enough to work in through February
- Usually no planning application needed
- Installed by our own recommended team
- Delivered in 4 to 6 weeks
Built to be worked in, not sat in once a summer
A summerhouse is a single skin of timber and it shows the first cold morning you try to take a call in one. The Paradise is built the way a house wall is built, which is the whole reason it works as an office.
Insulated all the way round
A 140mm roof at 0.17 W/m²K, a 40mm floor on pressure treated bearers and insulated walls. The optional extra wall insulation takes the walls from 0.72 to 0.40 W/m²K.
Double glazed as standard
24mm double glazing in every window and door, 28mm on the Composite and Pressure Treated. Nothing to add on, and no single-glazed version to be upsold from.
A room, not a shed
The interior arrives with a plasterboard-style Fermacell finish, ready to paint. Put a skirting board on and it reads like the spare room.
Locks like a front door
A multipoint locking system on the doors, which matters once there is a laptop and a monitor living out there.
Rooms we have put in
Our own photographs, taken on site. Every one of these is an insulated or composite-clad garden room, the same family of building as the Paradise.
More of them in the full showcase.
Start from what has to fit in it
Sizes are the outside measurement, the way the trade quotes them, so the usable room inside is a little smaller. Prices are for the standard Paradise, including VAT and free UK mainland delivery.
One desk, and room to think
A desk against the back wall, a chair and a bookcase, with the doors still clear.
- 2.5 x 2.5m4.45m² inside
- from £6,250
- 3.5 x 2.5m6.60m² inside
- from £7,500
Desk, storage and a visitor
Enough wall for filing and a printer, and floor for a second chair when someone comes out to you.
- 4.5 x 2.5m8.75m² inside
- from £8,250
- 3.5 x 3.5m9.66m² inside
- from £9,500
Two people, side by side
Two desks without either person sitting in the other's call, or one desk and a proper sofa.
- 4.5 x 3.5m12.82m² inside
- from £11,000
- 5.5 x 2.5m10.89m² inside
- from £10,500
An office and a second room
Big enough to divide: work at one end, a studio, gym or treatment room at the other.
- 5.5 x 3.5m16.85m² inside
- from £12,500
- 7.5 x 3.5m22.27m² inside
- from £16,200
Ten sizes in all, up to 7.5 x 3.5m. Not sure which? Give us the garden and what you do for a living and we will tell you what we would put in.
Four finishes, one building
Inside they are the same room. The difference is the outside, and how much of your weekend it wants for the rest of its life.
The Paradise
Our insulated garden room, ready to paint and ready to work in all year. Insulated walls, roof and floor, 24mm double glazing.
The Paradise Reverse
The Paradise turned end-on: doors on the short side and the room running back from them, for narrower gardens. Insulated walls, roof and floor, 24mm double glazing.
Top sellerThe Paradise Pressure Treated
The Paradise built in pressure treated timber, so it resists rot and decay from the day it arrives. Insulated walls, roof and floor, 28mm double glazing.
The Paradise Composite
The Paradise in composite, for a garden office with next to no upkeep. Composite cladding, 140mm insulated roof, 28mm uPVC double glazing.
There is also a version with a 3m canopy for a covered deck, one with a store room built into the end for the mower and the bikes, and an apex-roofed Composite in the compact sizes.

Questions people ask before ordering one
Can I actually work in it in winter?
That is what it is built for. The walls, roof and floor are all insulated and double glazing is standard, not an upgrade: a 140mm roof at 0.17 W/m²K, a 40mm floor on pressure treated bearers, and 24mm double glazing in every window and door, or 28mm on the Composite and Pressure Treated. Most people find a small electric heater is plenty once the door has been shut for ten minutes.
Does it feel like a shed inside?
No, and this is the part people notice at the showroom. The interior arrives with a plasterboard-style Fermacell finish, ready for you to paint, so it reads as a room in the house rather than bare timber. Add vinyl flooring from us at £25 per square metre, or lay your own.
Do I need planning permission for a garden office?
In most gardens, no. Garden buildings normally fall under permitted development if they sit behind the front of the house, take up less than half the garden and stay under the height limits, which is 2.5m within 2m of a boundary. The Paradise ridge is 2.48m and the Composite 2.46m, both deliberately under that line. Check with your local authority for anything large or close to the house.
Is there power in it?
Not as part of the kit. Almost everyone has an electrician run an armoured cable from the house once the building is up, which is a straightforward job on a room this size. If you would rather it arrived wired and plastered, that is a bespoke build and we are happy to price one.
What base does it need?
A level, solid base slightly larger than the footprint. Concrete, paving slabs or a timber frame on ground screws all work. We partner with Sussex Concrete Bases: mention Garden Rooms for Sale when you book and they will look after you on price.
What does installation cost, and when do I pay it?
Our recommended team installs, priced by building size from £1,000 to £1,950 within 50 miles of our showroom in Cowfold, near Horsham. Further afield we often still install, priced per job: tell us your postcode and we will confirm. Installation is invoiced separately and paid on completion.
How long from ordering to working in it?
Typically 4 to 6 weeks. We confirm an estimated delivery date when you order and ring the week before to fix it. Delivery is free to every UK mainland address including Scotland, with no minimum spend.
Which one should I choose?
Same building, different outsides. The Paradise is timber you paint and re-coat each year and is the cheapest way in. The Pressure Treated has preservative driven right through the wood, so it resists rot from the day it arrives. The Composite is clad in boards that never need treating or painting at all: most money up front, almost none after. The Reverse is the Paradise turned end-on, for a narrow garden.
Can I see one before I buy?
There are buildings at our showroom at Camelia Botnar Garden Centre in Cowfold, near Horsham that you can walk into, open 7 days a week. We can go through sizes and prices while you are there.
