The Westbury Garden Room
Our fully bespoke design. No standard spec, no fixed configuration. Every Westbury is designed from scratch around your garden, your brief and your vision.
The Ashton and Clifton are starting points. The Westbury has no starting point. It is a completely bespoke garden room where every decision, from the cladding and fenestration to the roof configuration, glazing specification, door arrangement and interior finish, is made specifically for you and your garden. No configurator, no standard spec, no two the same.
Customers choose the Westbury when they have a clear idea of what they want and that idea does not fit into a standard format. It might be a corner glass detail that wraps two elevations, a SiOO:X treated larch facade that weathers to a specific tone, Cortizo slimline aluminium frames with the narrowest sight lines available, a canopy that adjoins the main building to cover a hot tub or outdoor kitchen, or simply a size and configuration that a standard model cannot accommodate. Whatever the brief, we design it from scratch.
Award nominated. This Westbury build was nominated for a design award, recognised for its bespoke corner glazing, Cortizo slimline frame specification and SiOO:X treated larch facade. It is one of the builds we are most proud of.
A Build That Was Nominated for an Award
The brief for this Westbury was a room that would sit as a piece of architecture in the garden rather than simply an outbuilding. The cladding is natural larch treated with SiOO:X wood protection, a silica-based treatment that eliminates differential weathering and brings the timber to a consistent silver-grey tone in around 10 to 16 weeks. Without treatment, the same larch would take years to reach that colour, and might never weather evenly.
The windows are Cortizo aluminium, the most slimline frame available with a sight line of just 20mm. The corner detail, where two full-height glazed panels meet at a structural corner with no post between them, is the feature that defines the room. It is not something a standard garden room can do. It requires bespoke structural engineering from the outset.

Talk to Kieron →Another Westbury: Corner Glass and Millboard Cladding
A second Westbury commission shows a completely different approach to the same idea. This build uses Millboard composite cladding and combines a set of bifold doors with a set of sliding doors meeting at a structural corner, creating a full corner of glass that opens the room to the garden on two sides simultaneously.
When the doors are open, the boundary between inside and outside disappears entirely. It is the kind of detail that changes how a space is used rather than simply how it looks.
What Makes the Westbury Different
No standard spec
Every dimension, material, glazing specification, roof detail and interior finish is chosen specifically for your build. There is no catalogue to choose from.
Any door and window combination
Bifold doors, sliding doors, corner glass, full-height fixed panels, slimline aluminium frames. The glazing configuration is designed around the room, not the other way around.
Any material
SiOO:X treated larch, Millboard composite, Cedar, Cedral, EcoScape, charred timber or anything else. If it works structurally and aesthetically, we can build it.
Any size
Including rooms over 30m² where building regulations apply. We manage the building regulations process and can recommend our trusted architect for planning applications where required.
Adjoining covered spaces
A canopy can be added to any side of the main room, extending the usable space outside for a hot tub, outdoor kitchen, seating area or covered storage.
Finished to your specification
Bespoke joinery, fitted bar units, custom lighting schemes, specialist flooring. The interior is as considered as the exterior.
Even on a fully bespoke build, the structural specification is consistent. Everything below is included on every Westbury as a baseline, with bespoke elements added above it.
Steel Frame Floor
Will not rot, warp or move. A more durable base than the timber frames most competitors use.
Concrete-Filled Piles
Concrete is poured into plastic tubes driven approximately 50–60cm into the ground. Ground screws are available as an alternative where appropriate.
Floor, Walls and Ceiling
50mm EPS foam insulation throughout as standard. Comfortable year-round without excessive heating costs.
EPDM Rubber Roof
25-year life expectancy. No felt, no tiles, no maintenance. Fascia colour chosen to complement your cladding and fenestration.
Full Electrical Fit-Out
Consumer unit, lighting circuit, double sockets, panel heater and cable run from the house (up to 20m) all included. Additional circuits designed around your brief.
Plastered and Painted
Plastered walls, MDF skirting, SPC flooring and a coat of paint as standard. Upgraded finishes and bespoke joinery available.
Smart Wi-Fi Panel Heater
2kW wall-mounted heater with Wi-Fi control via the Tuya app as standard. Upgraded heating and air conditioning available.
10-Year Structural Guarantee
Every My Retreat garden room, including every Westbury, is covered by our 10-year structural guarantee.
Any Cladding You Choose
Thermowood, Charred Larch, Cedral, Cedar, EcoScape, Millboard, SiOO:X treated larch or any other material that works for your brief.

Most Westbury garden rooms under 30m² qualify as permitted development and do not require a planning application. For rooms over 30m², building regulations apply and a building regulations application will be needed. Many of our larger Westbury builds have gone through this process successfully.
Where planning permission is required, we can recommend a trusted local architect who handles applications for a fixed fee. The responsibility for confirming your planning position sits with you as the property owner. Our Surrey planning permission guide covers the rules in full.
