Nicer than most London flats...
Can we move in? A couple saved £23,000 by building a garden office shed from scratch, using recycled materials they’d saved from a skip. Graham Anderson, 35, and his wife, Rachel, 34, were working from their spare bedroom – but decided they needed more space with their two children running around. ‘We realised we had a growing family of two infant boys – a one-year-old and a four-year-old – and we were working from home in one bedroom.
Not your average garden shed They spent almost a year finding materials and building the shed-office They found the insulation for the roof in a skip using Gumtree, the front window they got from an unwanted window re-seller, and the timber was reclaimed with help from the Southampton Wood Recycling Project. ‘It’s a low energy building as there are lots of layers of membranes which are all taped up and super well-insulated so it’s relatively warm in the winter.
