With rising property prices and stricter building regulations, people are coming up with new ways to increase their space. Log cabins and so-called ‘posh lodges’ are seeing an increase in popularity. This could be because people are following the attitude of ‘don’t move, improve’. It’s cheaper to make the most of the space you have rather than move house. Of course, there can be a lot of hassle involved in moving house and if there’s no need, why do it?
What is a posh lodge?
Log cabins and lodges are often defined as an outbuilding. They don’t normally require planning permission if not attached to the house or are above a certain size. In the same way, as long as it’s not a separate residence it will be exempt from stamp duty and council tax. It could be the perfect opportunity for an elderly relative or grownup child who needs their own space. Standalone conservatories and orangeries can also be a brilliant way to increase your space.
Suitable for a multitude of uses
How about an outdoor office away from the hustle and bustle of family life or a room for the children to play in? The possibilities are endless. However you want to increase your space, a bespoke conservatory could be the right choice for you. Another popular idea is to have a conservatory in the perfect spot that attracts the sun. This then allows you to make the most of the gorgeous weather, indoors or out. Here at Win-Dor, we want to help you make the most out of your home.
A beautiful addition to a family home
Take a look at this glazed aluminium extension with wooden cladding which we completed for a family in Little Houghton. Although this was attached to the family home, this style could be incorporated into a standalone garden room. The addition of bifold doors could be a brilliant way to incorporate outdoor living into your home.
