Great Shelford
Working in Great Shelford.
Great Shelford — south of Cambridge, a high-value village with substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses, large gardens and a working conservation area.
Much of Great Shelford's historic core is within the conservation area. Side and rear extensions require careful elevation work, and we routinely use Cambridge gault and London stock brick to match.

About garden rooms in Great Shelford.
- Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
- Most garden rooms fall within permitted development if they're under 30m², no taller than 2.5m at the boundary, and within 50% of the curtilage. Listed properties and conservation areas have extra rules — we'll check the specifics.
- How long does a garden room take to build?
- Six to ten weeks on site for a typical 15–25m² office or studio. Larger rooms with services and complex access run longer.
- How much does a Great Shelford garden room cost?
- Insulated, fully-finished garden rooms built to house standards typically run £2,400–£3,500 per m². A 20m² office sits around £50k–£70k including foundations, services and joinery.
- Can it have a bathroom or kitchenette?
- Yes — drainage and water supply usually require a trench from the main house. We handle the foul, water, and electrics together.
