It's a standard CNC tongue and groove single skin "log cabin" there should be a small (15mm PIR board is the norm IIRC) amount of insulation in the roof and maybe some in the floor depending on the installer. The wood the walls are constructed from does have a insulative value, but not much. All of this means that while it will perform better in terms of being too cold in the winter / too hot in the summer than a standard shed you will still feel it.
The normal way to sort this in say a single skin brick building would be to batten out the wall and put plasterboard on it, filling the cavity created with insulation. Unfortunately you cannot do that with this building as the "logs" it's made from will expand and contract with changes in humidity and temperature, the battens would fight this and eventually it will fall off or damage the structure of the building.
Basically you have two options deal with it as is (you have power and heating after all). Or tear it down and start again. If it helps I used to do contracting work for a company who sold and built these things (if they were too busy or had a particularly complex job on) their biggest seller was units that size for home office use and the vast majority of customers loved them.

Are those really the same shed or are does it have two?

Seems like a no-brainier to try it out as is. All you need is a desk and a fan now that summer is on the way.

The house we're hoping to complete on has this garden room/shed - I'd like to turn it into a home office. Would this be a worthwhile venture or should I save time/effort and down the line replace with a purpose built home office? I know a few people on here have experience of this so thought I'd ask.
