Garden rooms, anyone got one?

Here

DD has a toilet in hers which is useful for guests in the night. Otherwise they have to trudge up the garden and gain access to the house!

We have just turned our large shed into a garden room, we have electricity and wifi. It’s insulated but cool at the moment as it’s under some trees.

We haven’t installed water or sewerage as that would need Building Regs and all sorts of permissions to turn it into a ‘living space’. I think installing water and sewerage connection means we would have to pay council tax on it.

So we have bottled water, a microwave and a kettle. A cupboard with crockery and tea and coffee in it and a large Umbrella for when it rains!

My daughter and SIL had one built, it’s beautiful, they put in a lovely bathroom and huge bifold doors.
It’s an office and gym but could be anything.
It was cheaper to have one bespoke than one of the kit type that are available.

I've got a very fancy shed which I jokingly say I could quite happily live in, except I'd have to shift everything in there first.

My sister has a garden room ( fancy shed!) which she uses as an office as she works from home. It’s very nice with heating for the colder months and a kettle etc but she has a few complaints.

* Too hot on sunny days
* Walking down the garden in the rain
* No water supply for her numerous cups of tea
* No toilet facilities other than walking back to the house
* A constant battle with spiders who invade in droves
* It feels damp in winter as she only puts the heating on when she is working

I guess some of these concerns would also apply to a garden room which is used as a guest bedroom, might be fine in the summer months though.

It is a separate building. Sometimes they are at the end of the garden, away from the house.

I thought a garden room was the same as a conservatory. Or do you mean a separate building in the garden?
