Bespoke Goldridge Living garden studio with large glazed doors

Goldridge Living · Thirsk, North Yorkshire

Bespoke garden rooms in Yorkshire and the North East.

Designed and built around your home, your garden and how you want to use the space. Fully insulated for year-round use across Yorkshire, Teesside and County Durham.

Bespoke by design

Designed for your home. Built for the way you’ll use it.

Goldridge Living designs and builds bespoke garden rooms from our base in Thirsk. We work across Yorkshire, Teesside and County Durham, creating spaces for work, training, hobbies, guests and entertaining.

There is no standard model to choose from. We look at the garden, the house, access, daylight, planning, budget and what you need the room to do, then design the building around those decisions.

Real Goldridge projects

See what bespoke actually looks like.

Three completed projects with very different uses, layouts and finishes. Each started with the customer’s brief rather than a pre-set building.

Built for year-round use

A garden room should still feel like a proper room in February.

Insulation matters, but so do the base, weathering, glazing, electrics, heating, drainage and the details you cannot see once the room is finished.

See our specification

Insulated construction

SIP wall construction with a traditional timber joist floor approach for comfortable year-round use.

Designed to fit the plot

Size, doors, glazing and layout are worked out around your garden, your home and the way you will use the room.

Details decided early

Foundations, drainage, electrics, heating and internal finishes are considered before work starts, not added as an afterthought.

Planning permission

Will you need it?

Many garden rooms can sit within permitted development, but boundaries, height, listed buildings, conservation areas and intended use all matter.

Anthracite aluminium pergola with adjustable louvred roof and integrated lighting

Outdoor living

Aluminium pergolas for shade, shelter and longer evenings outside.

Adjustable louvred roofs let you choose between open sky, shade and overhead shelter from rain. Integrated LED lighting keeps the space useful after dark, with optional pull-down side screens available for extra comfort and privacy.

Before you book a site visit

Common garden room questions, answered properly.

The right answer normally depends on the plot and the brief. These are the useful starting points we cover with customers across Yorkshire and the North East.

How much does a bespoke garden room cost?

The final cost depends on size, access, ground conditions, glazing, cladding, electrics, heating and the internal finish. Goldridge prices around the actual brief rather than advertising a low headline price that grows later.

Do garden rooms need planning permission?

Many domestic garden rooms can fall within permitted development rights, but height, position, boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas and the intended use can change the answer. We flag likely issues early and recommend a formal check where the position is not clear.

Read the full guide

Can a Goldridge garden room be used all year round?

Yes. Our rooms are designed as proper year-round spaces, with insulated construction, appropriate glazing, electrics, heating and weathering considered as part of the whole building.

How long does a garden room take to build?

Most Goldridge projects are typically completed in around two to three weeks once work starts on site. Larger rooms, difficult access, bespoke joinery and extensive decking or canopy work can take longer.
