Having a wooden garden office gives you a great place to work away from the hubbub of your family, and can add significantly to the value of your home. Recent economic events have been sobering for everyone, across all industries and across the entire country. Whether you work in banking or retail, or if you live in the South or the North – all of us have faced financial risks.

And as some of the blame for the credit crisis was laid on the housing market it is easy to forget that the house that started this crisis can also help rescue you.

There has been an increase in the number of people who have decided to set up their own business and start working for themselves. Setting up in business for yourself can be quite a stretch for your family, as at the beginning you will have to work long hours, often starting off when you’re still in your old job. But should your home already be able to fit in your new enterprise everything becomes easier – and achieving your dream is simpler.

Some people have to be out of the house and on the road by 7 every morning, just be be at someone else’s desk by 9. And then getting back after 7pm, tired and unable to spend much time with family.

Now … imagine getting up at 8am to have a family breakfast, then strolling across the lawn to your garden office where you work just as hard, but for yourself. After work, you get to spend all the time you want to with your family – and you’re more relaxed because you haven’t just had to commute to your office.

Do you see the attraction?

You can see why setting up a new business from garden offices at home is so appealing – however, just because you have a garden room you don’t have to quit your job and start out on your own! That versatile space in your garden can be used as a spare bedroom, a games room, a study, or you can even rent it out. And if you decide to move, the good news doesn’t stop – having a stylish garden office or summerhouse in your garden can dramatically increase the value of your home.

One Bakers’ Timber Buildings customer said: “Originally we used the garden room as an office to start our business with desk and computer. Now we use it as a garden summerhouse and utility room fully insulated with heating and lighting”.

Doesn’t that sound like a good idea? Bakers Timber are always happy to show you around the wooden garden offices on display at their Sussex premises; there is nothing quite like seeing the real thing built in and working. Why not find out more at their website: www.bakerstimber.co.uk.
