Outside the box

When trying to sell your property, you want to present the house as attractively as possible, but don’t overlook the garden, it’s an increasingly important space

- Judith Palmer

As March arrives, thoughts turn to banishing winter for another year and embracing spring’s longer, warmer days. After being cooped up indoors for what seems like an eternity, March is a time to enjoy the garden once again. And if you are putting your home on the market, turn your attentions to what the property offers externally as well as internally.

One cost-effective and time-efficient way of adding value to a property is a garden room. A simple structure away from the house that takes advantage of the space outside, a garden room expands the space in your home without intrusive and sometimes complicated extensions. It also has the flexibility to become whatever you (or a potential buyer) wants it to be, whether it’s family space, a quiet office to work away from the home or a personal gym.
