Our Process

Your Journey to a Bespoke Garden Room

Design-Led Construction for Cotswold Properties

  1. Free Site Survey & Consultation: We visit your Bourton-on-the-Water property to assess ground conditions and discuss your vision. Given the village’s proximity to the River Windrush, we pay close attention to ground levels and drainage to ensure your build is secure and elevated if necessary.
  2. Custom Design & Fixed Quote: Our design team works with you to create a room that suits your aesthetic—whether that’s a traditional timber finish to match a Cotswold stone cottage or a sleek contemporary design for a modern home. You will receive a comprehensive, fixed-price quotation with no hidden extras.
  3. Planning & Compliance: Bourton has distinct planning requirements, particularly within the Conservation Area. We act as your knowledgeable partner, checking Permitted Development rights and handling any necessary applications with Cotswold District Council on your behalf.
  4. Expert Construction: Our team builds using premium light-gauge steel frames and residential-grade insulation. We work efficiently to minimise disruption, ensuring your garden remains tidy and safe throughout the build.
  5. Completion & Handover: We deliver a turnkey room, not just a shell. We conduct a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets our high standards before handing over the keys to your fully powered, heated, and decorated garden room.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garden Rooms in Bourton-on-the-Water

Here are some common questions we receive about our garden rooms:

My property is Grade II listed; can I still have a garden room?

Yes, but it requires careful planning. While you cannot usually attach a structure to a listed building without consent, a detached garden room is often permissible if designed sensitively. We can manage this complex application process for you.

How do you handle privacy in gardens overlooked by tourists?

Privacy is key in Bourton. We can design your room with strategic glazing—using skylights or high-level windows—to bring in light without exposing your space to public view.

Will a modern garden room clash with my Cotswold stone house?

Not at all. We often recommend using high-quality natural cedar or larch cladding, which silver over time to beautifully complement the grey and honey tones of Cotswold stone. Alternatively, we can use specific finishes that provide a striking, intentional architectural contrast.

Do you offer electrical and internet connections?

Yes. We include full electrics as standard. We can also run Cat6 armoured cables to ensure you have high-speed, stable internet connectivity identical to your main house.

Does a garden room add value to a Cotswold home?

Absolutely. In an area where square footage is at a premium, adding a high-quality, usable detached room is an effective way to increase your property’s value.
