Ashton 3m x 3m
With a compact and modern design, the Ashton is year-round space, perfect as a home office, music studio, gymnasium, workshop or art studio that will look good in the smallest of spaces.
Perfect for smaller gardens… The Ashton will fit neatly into any garden, no matter how small. Large French doors at the front allow plenty of light and the neat side window adds extra light making it feel more spacious. The difference between The Ashton and the Clifton is that the Ashton doesn’t have a canopy with spotlights. This is a great choice for a home office, gym, teenage den, cinema or playroom. As with all our buildings, the price includes anthracite grey sliding or French doors, 1x1m window, concrete base/ground screws, EPDM rubber roof with a 15-year guarantee, electrical connection to your house, choice of flooring, plaster finished and decorators mist, chrome spotlights, 2x up/downlights, chrome double sockets (x4), composite decking step, contemporary skirting boards and a PIR sensor.
As with all our garden rooms, the Ashton comes in a variety of different sizes. Prices start from around £22,500 including VAT delivery and installation.
The example pictured above is a 3m x 3m Ashton, which cost roughly £22,500

Planning
Do we require planning permission? A very good question and one of the most commonly asked questions. 99% of garden buildings do not require planning permission and are an extremely easy and stress-free process from start to finish, but it is worth checking out the Planning Portal.
All our garden rooms are built and installed to comply with the permitted development guidelines. So long as your plans fall within the following permitted development rules then there is no need to apply for planning permission:
- Your building has a maximum height of 2.5m
- Your garden room is less than 30 square metres
- The build must not be within 2 metres from any boundary if it is taller than 2.5 metres or 1 metre from any boundary if it is less than 2.5 metres. Buildings under 15m2 don’t have any regulations and buildings between 15m2 and 30m2 only have to be considered if they are to be slept in, or are to be installed within 1m of any boundary. If you do plan on building within 1m of your boundary don’t worry, all we have to do is construct your boundary facing wall makeup from a substantially non-combustible material.
- Your garden does not cover more than 50% of the original house. The term “original house” means the house as it was first built or as it stood on 1 July 1948 (if it was built before that date). Although you may not have built an extension to the house, a previous owner may have done so.
- You are not using it as sleeping accommodation
- You are not building on a conservation area or an area of outstanding natural beauty
If you are unsure or need to clarify whether your property has permitted development rights, then check the planning portal with your local council.

Access Requirements
Do I have to clear the area before work can begin? Yes, before the installation team can begin construction of your new garden building, you will need to ensure that the chosen site is clear. This includes the removal of things like decking, sheds, outbuildings, patios, rockeries, trees, or plants and the area needs to be relatively level. Whilst the ground screws can level up a slight gradient, they cannot level up a slope. Your site survey team will confirm that the site is suitable for your chosen building during your site survey.
We are happy to provide a quote to clear the area, however, our team are highly skilled and it is often cheaper for you to source a labourer.
