Suddenly Your Home is Too Small

There comes a time when suddenly your home is too small. The walls close in and the stress levels creep up: -

1. Working from home seems like a good idea, but the reality is different. You either hog the spare bedroom or spend the first and last hour of the day setting up your office on the kitchen table.

2. Your children are growing up and need more space.

3. Your mum would love to come and live with you but the idea of trying to squeeze someone else into your home is alarming.

4. You want a room of your own where you can listen relax and listento music without being disturbed.

What are your options? -

You can sell your house and move on, a depressing thought in a slow moving housing market. How much time and effort will it cost to trade up?
Or
What about an extension/loft conversion?
Or
A room in the garden?

Expanding your home into your garden is a realistic option. You can build a fantastic garden office, granny annex or den for your growing family. InsideOut Buildings based in Lancashire have a solution for each situation and we are not talking about a pre-packed box or shed to plonk in your garden. We are talking about individually designed and built detached extensions for your garden.

Imagine working from home in a purpose built, highly insulated office, and think how much more productive you are going to be. Or having your parents to stay in a detached guest suite. You can even have a loo and shower installed, or how about a woodburning stove? This is the way to improve your life.

"But I haven't got time to organise this" you say. No problem. Everything is taken care of from day one. InsideOut Buildings project-manage and oversee the whole process. If you need planning permission, they make the application for you. They have the experience and knowledge to design garden rooms that blend into your existing lifestyle and they make the whole process as easy as possible.

InsideOut buildings are designed with the environment in mind. Their buildings keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter through careful use of breathable, eco-friendly insulation, not sweaty plastic insulation. Lighting is energy efficient. Building materials and wood is sourced within the UK. Nothing needs preserving or treating with chemicals. The running costs of your new building will be low. Your new building will make you look at your existing house to see how you can make energy saving changes.

Doors and windows are hand made and painted for your office by a small specialist UK window Company that work closely with InsideOut. Double-glazing means you can work, sleep and relax without the irritating noise of the local dog or lawnmower disturbing you. Even better, at the end of the day you can just walk out, leave everything as it is, ready for the next day.
