The garden studio may be a legacy of lockdown, but it remains an appealing option for space-hungry homeowners repelled by the cost (and faff) of a loft or basement conversion.
These bijou – or not so bijou – structures run the gamut from glorified potting shed to full entertainment complex, replete with games room, mini cinema and yoga studio.
A garden office worth boasting about will be fully wired, with double glazing, plumbing and even a full wet room, to ensure the smug inhabitant hardly need set foot in the house once set up for the day.
We’ve hand-picked 15 of the best hiding behind London homes for sale.
