Corner Summer Houses

Corner summer houses in the UK, built to fit your space

Summerhouse24 designs and manufactures garden buildings for UK gardens. Every wooden corner summer house you see in our range is built from tongue and groove Nordic spruce, with walls from 44mm to 70mm thick. Because you buy from us, the makers, there’s no middleman adding to the price.

Here, a luxury corner summer house is about how it’s built, not how much it costs. Solid timber walls, careful joinery and double-glazed doors and windows as standard make for a building that feels sturdy the moment you step inside. Our premium builds keep that feeling alive for years and decades.

In our range, you’ll find a few different styles of garden corner summer houses. The popular classic L-shaped corner summer houses, with either rooms on both sides, or a veranda on one side. These models are great if you’re looking to use your available space to the maximum.

We also have compact pentagonal summer houses available. If you’re looking for a corner summer house with a pitched roof, have a look at the Fargo models or even the large Devon cabins. The Hansa veranda models come in two versions, one with an apex roof and one with a flat roof.

Delivery is free across much of England and parts of Wales. We deliver to the rest of Great Britain for a small extra charge, or on quotation for the Highlands and islands. Wherever you are, your garden corner summer house can reach you. You can check your postcode on our delivery information page.

If you’d like to see our summer houses and log cabins in person, you’re welcome to visit our display site in Devon, where you’ll be warmly welcomed by our local team.

Corner summer house sizes

Summerhouse24 corner summer houses range from 12 m² to 40 m² of floor area.

3m x 3m, 10×10 and 12×12 corner summer houses

If you’re searching for a popular size such as 10×10 or 3m x 3m corner summer house, Fargo A and Fargo B are the closest match. At 3.5 x 3.5 m they’re a little larger, which works out at roughly 12 x 12 ft. These models have 12 m² of floor space under a 17 m² pitched roof. The two share the same footprint, and the main difference is in the glazing. Fargo B has large floor-to-ceiling windows, and Fargo A has smaller windows, which leaves more wall space for shelving or furniture.

Large corner summer houses

The Devon models measure 7.48 x 7.48 m and give you 40 m² across separate rooms, all under a pitched roof with 70mm walls. Devon 1 and Devon 2 differ in how the rooms are laid out, and Devon 3 includes a sauna. If you want a corner log cabin summer house with room for a guest space, a home office or a hobby room, this is where we recommend you look.

Corner summer houses with a veranda in the UK

In the UK, corner summer houses with a veranda are a very popular choice thanks to their versatility. Most garden owners appreciate the opportunity to spend time either indoors or outdoors at their summer house, depending on their mood and, of course, the weather. But even a few drops of rain won’t stop the fun when you opt for a covered terrace.

The Hansa models pair a garden room with a covered veranda, so you get space inside and a sheltered spot outside for a table and chairs. Hansa A and Hansa B combine a 6 x 3 m room with a 12 m² veranda and 44mm walls. Hansa Deluxe A and Hansa Deluxe B have a 7 x 3 m room, a 12.81 m² veranda and 70mm walls. Each pair of models comes with a choice of roof. The A models have a flat roof for a modern corner summer house look, and the B models have a classic apex roof.

Small corner summer houses

Small corner summer houses are another UK favorite. They are the perfect choice when you don’t have a lot of space to play with, or simply don’t need a large garden building. A small footprint doesn’t have to mean compromise, though. Once you know what you want to use the space for, it’s surprisingly easy to get a lot out of it.

Our smallest corner models, Fargo A and Fargo B, are 3.5 x 3.5 m with 12 m² of floor space. Both can be customised, and we also build bespoke. Reach out through our bespoke summer house page if you have something specific in mind.

If you need something smaller still, have a look at our Bob range. These models aren’t corner-shaped, but at 3 x 2 m they fit into tight spaces well. Choose from the Bob Office, Bob Room or Bob Workshop.

Small corner summer house ideas

Here are a few ideas for your small corner summer house. If none of them feels quite right for you, look up more inspiration online. We have seen customers use their summer houses for everything from art studios to gyms and dog grooming parlours. With some careful planning, even a humble garden corner summer house is big enough to fit a dream – or even two.

Here are some ideas to get you started on dreaming up your perfect garden sanctuary:

Reading corner: an armchair, a lamp and a bookshelf, with the garden view through the window.
Craft or hobby room: a worktop along one wall and storage above it, so projects can stay out between sessions.
Compact home office: a desk and chair fit comfortably in 12 m², with room left for a small sofa.
Plant room: shelves for seedlings and houseplants that need a bright, sheltered spot.
Playroom: a space for children’s toys that keeps the house tidy.
Zen room: a quiet space for meditation, yoga or other somatic practices.

Insulated corner summer houses

If you plan to use your summer house through autumn and winter, an insulated corner summer house makes a real difference. It’s far easier and cheaper to insulate during the build than to retrofit later. We always recommend insulating during the build.

You can choose from two cabin insulation kits for our corner models as an add-on:

Floor & Roof Insulation Kit: 25mm insulation boards under the floor and a “warm roof” of 25mm boards and 11mm OSB. It’s a good fit for a garden room or workshop used through spring and autumn.
Full Insulation Kit: adds external wall insulation, with 100mm Rockwool panels, a wind barrier and a new layer of tongue and groove spruce cladding. With this kit, the space stays cosy in winter and cool in summer, so you can use it all year round as a home office, guest room or hobby space.

Both kits include our Hansa ISO Window & Door Insulation System, which seals the gaps around windows and doors while still letting the timber move naturally with the seasons.
If you prefer a different exterior finish, you can fit your own shiplap cladding over the insulation, which gives you a shiplap corner summer house in the style you want.

Corner summer house ideas: how people use them

A corner summer house can be almost anything you need it to be. Here are some of the ways our customers use theirs, plus a few corner summer house interior ideas to get you started.

Storage

A corner summer house makes a tidy home for garden furniture, bikes, toys and the lawnmower. With a veranda model like Hansa B, you can keep things stored inside and still have a covered spot outdoors.

Overlooking garden activities

Set in a corner, the summer house gives you a view of the whole garden, which suits keeping an eye on the children or watching the birds. The large veranda on Hansa Deluxe A is made for exactly that.

Home spa

For a luxury corner summer house in the truest sense, Devon 3 comes with a built-in sauna. It’s a private spa at the bottom of the garden, a few steps from the back door.

Entertaining guests

A corner summer house with a veranda gives you space for a table, a few chairs and perhaps a small corner bar, while the children play on the lawn. For inspiration, have a look at our man cave and garden bar ideas. Hansa Deluxe B has room inside and out for guests.

A winter hideaway

With double-glazed doors and windows, Fargo A stays snug on colder days. Add an insulation kit, plus heating and it becomes somewhere to curl up with a book even in January.

As a home office

Working from the bottom of the garden puts a clear line between work and home. With the Full Insulation Kit, a corner summer house works as a home office all year round.

Looking for a corner summer house near me?

“Corner summer house near me” is one of the most common searches online, and it’s understandable, because it’s good to see a garden building in person before you buy one. But you don’t need a local supplier. We deliver free across much of England and parts of Wales, and every model comes with full sizes and specifications, so you can plan around your garden from home.
If you’d like to see our buildings first, visit our showroom in Devon. Displays change, so get in touch before you visit to check which models are on show.

Do I need planning permission for a corner summerhouse?

Often not, but it depends on the building’s size, height and position, how close it is to your boundary, and how you plan to use it. Our UK garden building planning permission guide covers the main rules, and it’s always worth checking with your local planning authority before you order.

How do you build a corner summer house?

The easiest way is with a kit. All of our corner summer houses come as kits with pre-cut parts and plans. If you’re building a corner summer house with two people and some DIY experience, the smaller models take about 1–2 days to assemble, or 2–3 days including groundworks.

Do you provide corner summer house plans?

Yes. Every corner summer house comes with plans, so you can follow each step of the build. You can also find our guides on the assembly instructions page.

Does a corner summer house increase house value?

A well-built corner summer house can make your home more appealing to buyers, especially if it adds usable space such as a home office or guest room. How much it adds depends on your property and local market.

How much does a corner summer house cost?

Our corner summer houses for sale start at around £5,000 for the smaller models. Veranda models are roughly £8,000 to £12,000, and our largest corner summer houses come in just under £20,000. Keep an eye on our sale page for seasonal offers.

Do you sell corner summer houses with a shed?

We don’t currently have a corner summer house with a shed in our range, but our corner models can be customised to include one. Get in touch if you’d like to request a corner summer house with a shed attached.

Do you make 7x7 or 8x8 corner summer houses?

Our smallest corner summer houses are Fargo A and Fargo B, at 3.5 x 3.5 m (about 11’6″ x 11’6″). If you need something smaller, such as 5×5, 6×6, 7×7 or 8×8, we can build bespoke, so get in touch with your measurements. The Bob range is another option: at 3 x 2 m it isn’t corner-shaped, but it fits well into small spaces.
