Opinions on Summer House/Office

[crispyshark]

Hello all!

First time poster in this sub forum and hoping for a bit of advice/opinions…..

We have just purchased a 3 bed semi-detached which needs extensive renovation including a 4 metre extension at the rear.

It has a 100ft garden with a small shed/outhouse at the back. We have been looking at potentially having a brick built summer house/office there but the cost is getting on for £18k. My question is, has anyone gone down the route of a shipping container summer house/building and if so could you recommend a supplier/converter? Or does anyone have any recommendations for wood based options? Our budget is around £5-7k and ideally it would need to have insulation, double glazing (pref with some bi-fold doors), electricity and be secure.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If you can, add a toilet to the budget - if using as an office, going indoors for pee breaks gets tired very quickly.

Yes, we want to do this and the actual logistics of running a waste pipe will not be hard....my fear is when building regs/council come round and try saying it could be lived in.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent log cabin supplier that could accommodate our wish list?
