Garden Rooms & Offices in Worthing
A garden room, or garden office, is a fully insulated, standalone structure built in the garden and fitted with electrics and heating for year-round use as a home office, gym, studio or additional living space, separate from the main house.
In Worthing, that covers Tarring, Broadwater, Durrington, Goring-by-Sea, Findon Valley, Heene. Worthing is a seafront town with a strong Edwardian and interwar residential character, notable Art Deco buildings along the seafront, and a wide range of housing types stretching inland towards the South Downs.

FAQs
Garden Rooms & Offices in Worthing: FAQs
Do you provide garden rooms & offices across all of Worthing?
Yes, we cover the BN11, BN12, BN13 and BN14 postcode areas in full, including Tarring, Broadwater, Durrington, Goring-by-Sea, Findon Valley, Heene.
Do I need planning permission for a garden room?
Most garden rooms fall under permitted development provided they are single-storey, set back from the boundary where required, and stay within height and garden-coverage limits. Larger structures, those closer to a boundary, or on designated land may need a full application, which we check for your specific garden.
Can a garden room be used all year round?
Yes, provided it is properly insulated in the walls, roof and floor and fitted with heating — this is what distinguishes a garden room from a summerhouse or garden shed, which are not designed for year-round comfort.
Are Worthing's seafront buildings protected?
Many of the town's notable Art Deco and Edwardian seafront buildings are listed or within conservation areas, which affects what external changes can be made without consent. We check this for individual properties.
