This has got me thinking about having one at the end of our garden but once the planned extension comes in, I wonder how big the garden would be.
I think that garden looks great now
Tenderloin-
Cheers.
Electrics were completed today. Just waiting for the Internet to be fixed up on Wednesday then we'll get the back part finished w/ 20mm grey granite and a raised bed for veg. Should be done by Saturday.

Similar thoughts - we're planning on tacking on another ground and first floor at the back which would shrink the garden by about a third. There'd still be room for an office (and permissible under the 50% point mentioned up thread) but, coming from a flat, a long garden isn't something I want to give up in a hurry.

As @Tenderloin said, we bought the house for £550k in November. 5% (a usual guide estimate) is £27.5k. The office was a shade under £17k.
Even with room for error, I'm comfortable with the fact that the investment has increased the value of the house by as much, if not more than I paid for it.
