Despite their name, these inviting outdoor structures are perfect for year-round use, with premium insulation and double glazing options that help regulate heat, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Summerhouses serve as an extension of the main home for various activities, including relaxation, home offices, and entertainment.
Create the ultimate retreat, tucked away in nature – a peaceful escape from daily distractions, a place to nurture creativity, or a cosy spot to connect with friends.
Our summerhouses are also ideal as garden offices, garden rooms, or a versatile garden summerhouse for entertaining and relaxation. Many homeowners use summerhouses as garden studios or workshops, allowing them to pursue hobbies or creative projects in a dedicated space.
Handcrafted in the UK, each summerhouse features clean lines and contemporary styles that enhance modern outdoor spaces. Summerhouses typically feature large glazed doors and multiple windows to maximise sunlight and garden views.
Choose from popular corner designs, octagonal summer house shapes – which offer a unique shape and allow for strategic window placement to increase light, or pent roof summerhouses, which provide a sleek and compact design ideal for snug corners of gardens while still offering a stylish appearance.
Well-designed and well-maintained garden buildings will last for many years making them a long-lasting investment. Our 10-year structural guarantee covers any building defects within this time, giving you peace of mind.
Yes, they are warm enough to use throughout the year as they are all well insulated. We also offer the chance to add electric panel heaters or heat pumps to warm your building.
Whilst our garden buildings are temporary structures and are moveable. It is worth considering that the costs to move a building is chargeable to you and can equate to an amount that does not make moving the building viable.
Planning permission is usually not needed for garden rooms as they fall under your permitted development rights. Most houses, even in conservation areas and areas of outstanding natural beauty, have permitted development rights. The only residences without permitted development rights are flats and listed buildings.
Planning permission for your garden building doesn’t need to be confusing. Our in-depth guide covers permitted development rules, height restrictions, and special cases like listed buildings and conservation areas – plus you can use our free planning checker tool for instant answers. Read our full guide on planning permission to understand what you need before starting your project.
We can supply and install the internal cabling on lined and insulated buildings as part of our installation service, however a qualified electrician will be required to supply and install all fittings and to make the necessary connections to the mains supply.
Please allow as much room as possible around the building for our installers to work during installation, a minimum of 18″. If this is not possible, please contact your nearest showsite to discuss.
Our installers will need a clear access to carry building sections from the delivery vehicle to your prepared base, with no height restrictions or tight/sharp corners to negotiate. Our installers cannot lift sections over fences more than 4′ in height or over buildings such as garages.
If the only access is through the house, a straight run is required – many sections will not pass through standard doorways.
Always make allowance for any roof overhang when buildings have to go into confined spaces.
Please advise us in advance if there are any difficulties regarding access.
We require a level solid base, either paving slabs, concrete, Drybase or timber decking upon which to install your building.
All base work is the responsibility of the customer, as is the safe securing of the building once installed. Should you require advice regarding your base, please contact a showsite for general advice or details of recommended contractors in your area.
Ideally your garden building should have a clear space at least 18″ wide on all sides. This ensures easy access for both installation and future maintenance. However, a reduced clearance on one or two sides is often possible. Always make allowance for any roof overhang when buildings are being installed in confined spaces.
If your building is over 15sq/m and/or over 2.5m in height, there may be restrictions on location, speak to the sales team.
I bought my Hopton summerhouse as a retirement gift to myself and have been using it extensively come rain or shine ever since. It’s a tranquil place to read, drink coffee, and to enjoy the garden.

We were so impressed with the quality of their products and their sales team that we purchased both a garden office and shed from Malvern 5 years ago. We remain as delighted with both all this time later as we were when they were delivered and erected.
Timothy Jones
We absolutely love our Studio Flat garden house. It fits perfectly in our little garden, it’s the perfect size and shape. We use it a lot! Mainly for an added space for me to work from home so it’s a relaxed environment separate from our home.
Vikki Rolfe
I've been very impressed with the service from Malvern Garden Buildings, from the support in choosing a Reverse Apex Shed through to the delivery and installation. So pleased with the quality and build of the product that I purchased a second shed.
Steve Heron
I am delighted with my garden room and still adding things to make it my cosy bolthole to paint, read, make things or just relax. Thank you to the team who worked so hard to make a perfect space for me.

We approached having a yoga studio with some trepidation, but came back time and time again to the Malvern studio. The service provided was extremely professional and helped us decide on the exact model and specifications. The erection of the building was extremely quick and professional. The team were clean and tidy and respectful of the garden and surrounding plants.
David Ratchford
Our shed with open area was delivered in February 2024 and we have been really pleased with the product, along with the service we received. The building has really transformed our garden, we have been able to enjoy time outside with friends, even when raining.
Francesca Meakin
From the moment we walked on to the Malvern stand at RHS Tatton we've barely stopped smiling! The team were extremely helpful, even visiting to inspect. The team arrived bang on time and did a great job at erecting our building.
Keith Drummond
We had our Hanley garden room installed in early 2024. We have enjoyed the room all summer and use it for relaxing and as a music and gaming room for our children. I would thoroughly recommend Malvern if you are thinking of a new garden room.
David Lannigan
We would have no hesitation in choosing Malvern again and recommending them to prospective customers. The fact there are showsites means you have the opportunity to see examples of various models of buildings, together with a real feel for the materials, the professional finish and design.
