Designing Your Garden Dining Room

 

A garden dining cabin allows you to free up the space in the house, and because we design each building to order, your cabin can be made to accommodate as many people as you like. The cost of creating a traditional kitchen extension is usually prohibitive, whereas a garden dining cabin from Cabin Master is just as cosy and inviting, but without the associated price tag!

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can a garden dining room accommodate?

This depends on the size of the building and the furniture you want to include. As our garden rooms are bespoke, we can design the space around your dining table and the number of people you want to seat.

Can I use my dining room cabin for anything else?

Yes! Our cabins are all lined and insulated. making them perfect for use all year round. If you no longer need a dining cabin, or you fancy a change, our buildings are suitable for pretty much any use you can think of. We can even partition the building to create separate individual rooms within the building.

Can I use a garden dining room all year round?

Yes. Our garden rooms are fully insulated, making them suitable for comfortable use throughout the whole year.

Will a garden building add value to my property?

Yes, a garden room can add value to your property. It creates extra usable space without the need for a full extension, which is appealing to many buyers.

A well-built garden cabin can make your home more versatile and attractive, especially with the growing demand for flexible living and working spaces. 

Do I need planning permission for a Cabin Master dining space?

Most outdoor dining cabins do not need planning permission as they fall into the 'outbuildings' category. There are certain rules you will need to comply with which include the overall size and height of your building. The majority of homes have permitted development rights for their land but it is worthwhile checking for your home and area.

Within permitted development the key rules are as follows:

  • An outdoor dining cabin must be single story
  • The building cannot exceed more than 50% of your garden. When calculating the 50% overall you must take into consideration all outbuildings including sheds, and extensions to the original home.
  • It should not be sited on land forward of a wall forming the 'principal elevation' (that means not in front of the house).
  • If the outdoor dining cabin is within 2m of the property boundary the whole building should not be higher than 2.5m
