Garden rooms in Dartmouth
An extra room in your garden. A bespoke space designed and built by us. Gym, art room, play room, man or lady cave, it is up to you.
Not delivered flat packed on a lorry. We handle the base, the build, the electrics and the finish, so you are not chasing three different trades.
Getting a garden room to a Dartmouth garden is a genuine logistical exercise. It can be done, often built in place rather than delivered, and we will be straight with you about what it involves.
Insulated for use through the year, rubberised roof, full electrics, guaranteed products.
Dartmouth is built on the side of a hill running steeply down to the Dart, and almost nothing in the town is level. Shallow soil over slate is common, and a great many gardens exist at all only because somebody built a retaining wall a century or more ago. The condition of that wall usually decides what is possible in the garden above it.
This is the hardest town we work in for access, without much competition. Narrow lanes, flights of steep steps, almost nowhere to park a van and gardens that can only be reached on foot. Every bag of ballast and every board goes in by hand. That is reflected honestly in the price at the quote stage rather than discovered halfway through the week.
Period properties stacked up the hill, a high proportion of second homes and holiday lets, and courtyard gardens measured in feet rather than yards. Small, steep and rather beautiful describes most of what we see here. The compensation for the awkwardness is that a well finished Dartmouth garden usually comes with a view down the river that no amount of money could buy elsewhere.
