The Bloomsbury writing retreat, exclusive to Malvern Garden Buildings

The Bloomsbury

This exclusive garden room is inspired by the original ‘she shed’ – Virginia Woolf’s writing lodge at Monk’s House.

The Bloomsbury has all the rustic charm of Virginia’s writing lodge with the added benefit of full insulation and optional double glazing to withstand the rigours of the British winter.

Originally developed as a 14ft wide x 8ft deep garden room, this retreat can be customised to your specifications to create a purpose made space dedicated to your chosen passion.

The generous pitch of the roof, the casement windows and double doors ensures light floods the room.

All that’s left to do is choose a peaceful corner to site your new garden room away from domestic drudgery, where no one will trouble you and allow your creativity to bloom.
