What is a garden room extension?
What is a garden room extension?
A garden room extension is a cosy, comfortable room that balances your home aesthetic with the outdoors. Its glazed windows let in an abundance of light, allowing you to make the most of your garden, come rain or shine.
Garden rooms can be traced back to Roman times. Homes were often built around an interior central garden courtyard. This design process meant that the outside and inside became a unified space, enjoying the benefits and beauty within the comforts of your own home.
It is common practice today to view garden rooms as an outdoor structure with a roof type of your choice. Here at Oakwrights, these rooms are more of an extension, still connected to your house. You still get to enjoy the tranquillity and charm that garden rooms are known for - just a little closer to home.
What is the difference between a garden room extension, conservatory and orangery?
What is the difference between a garden room extension, conservatory and orangery?
While these extensions can seem similar, there are a few differences between our garden rooms, conservatories and orangeries. Conservatories have fully glazed walls that let the sun stream into your home. Orangeries are fashionable rooms historically designed for orange trees, and generally feature less glass than conservatories.
Garden room extensions are traditionally designed for a specific purpose, such as offices or gyms. But we at Oakwrights believe that you deserve the best of both worlds. So, whether you’re working from home, need a little extra social space or simply want to soak in the sun, your garden room will have that perfect balance of functionality and style.

Wooden beams and front-facing glass: move with nature
Wooden beams and front-facing glass: move with nature
As with any wooden structure, your oak frame will naturally expand. This won’t have an impact on the appearance or the integrity of your home. Your design with feature face glazing - an innovative system that involves securing glazed units to the outside of your extension’s frame. This offers flexibility in movement while maintaining airtightness.
The sealing of these units with oak capping boards helps with thermal performance, providing you with a warm, toasty room in the winter but cool in the summer. The units and materials for your structure will be sourced and installed by our team.. This way, you can spend more time on the things you love, rather than liaising with suppliers.

Over 20 years ago, we bought a lovely Cheshire farmhouse which was in need of renovation. While the building work was underway, we chose to extend the property quite significantly to include a large attached garage and guest bedroom, creating substantial second floor accommodation.

What our customers say
Oakwrights’ team were really enthusiastic and more than happy to get involved with my small oak extension project; I highly recommend them. The overall experience was very good, along with the quality of the oak and the way it has been machined to fit.
