The garden storage website believes that high property prices, stamp duty taxes and the rising cost of living is causing people to be wary of upsizing. 

This has led to homeowners looking at other ways to expand space in their homes. 

For example, a high-end £13,000 luxury cabin on sale at Shedstore has recorded a 36% rise in interest since June of last year.

Tracey Hartwell, sales manager of Shedstore.co.uk, said: “With stamp duty, house prices and the cost of living so high, more and more people are turning to high-end sheds, cabins and outbuildings as a more affordable way to create extra space in their homes.

“A shed can be so much more than simply a place to store garden tools. 

“The more luxury products on the market can easily be turned into an office, workshop or occasional room for guests kitted out with electricity, heating and even water.

“Robust and weatherproof outbuildings can give all-important additional square footage at a fraction of the cost of traditional options, such as extensions, loft conversions and conservatories.”
