Garden Room Ideas
What would you use it for?
Every room we design in Chorley starts with how you want to live. These are the spaces people ask us about most.
Across Chorley, Euxton, Whittle-le-Woods, Adlington and Buckshaw Village, we design garden rooms that add a genuinely useful room to your home.
Chorley households come to us for home offices, garden gyms, family playrooms and relaxed lounges, often because the house has simply run out of rooms. A garden room adds that space without the upheaval of an extension.
We design each room around your garden and how you'll use it, with insulation, triple glazing and electrics planned in so it works every day of the year.

Chorley ranges from stone cottages and Victorian terraces in the town centre to the modern estates of Buckshaw Village and Euxton, and more rural homes towards Rivington and the West Pennine Moors. Newer homes often have compact, neatly boxed-in gardens where a garden room needs to feel light and well proportioned; older and more rural properties may have more space but trickier access and ground.
Where your home sits on the edge of open countryside, the view is part of the design. We place glazing to frame it, while keeping the room private from neighbours.
Many garden rooms can be built without planning permission under permitted development, provided they stay within the height, size and position limits and are used for purposes incidental to the house. Planning in the borough is handled by Chorley Council.
Some newer estates may have had permitted development rights removed or restricted by conditions on the original planning permission, and homes in the Rivington conservation area face stricter rules. It's worth checking your property's planning history; we'll help you do that before design is finalised.

Usually, but check first. Some new-build homes have conditions that remove permitted development rights, meaning a planning application is needed even for a garden room. We can help you check your property's planning history.

Yes, along with Whittle-le-Woods, Clayton-le-Woods, Adlington, Coppull, Eccleston, Croston and nearby Leyland.
For many families it is. If the house works well apart from needing one more room, a garden room can add that space for far less disruption than moving or extending. Our garden room vs extension guide compares the options.
As well as Chorley itself, we design garden rooms across the surrounding area, including:
