Timber Cabins & Garden Rooms in Longford
Insulated Nordic timber cabins from €14,500 incl. VAT, with delivery, professional assembly and a 10-year structural warranty.
Longford is small, flat and straightforward to work in, and about an hour and a half from our yard. Sites are generous, the ground across most of the county is manageable, and land prices mean the budget goes further into the building than into the plot — which is a better place for it.
The county's edges are where the care is needed. The Shannon and the Royal Canal run along the south and west, and the low callows ground beside them floods. On those plots the base and the drainage decide the outcome, not the model you choose.

Delivery, access and ground conditions
Longford is about 125 km from our Dublin yard, roughly an hour and a half by road. Transport and assembly are included in the price.
Most of the county is level with workable ground and open access — straightforward conditions for an assembly crew.
The Shannon callows and land beside the Royal Canal flood seasonally. On low-lying plots, raise the building and settle drainage before assembly.
Peat and bog ground occurs across parts of the county and needs a foundation design rather than a standard base.
On large open sites, position the cabin with some shelter from the prevailing south-westerly — it makes outdoor space usable for far more of the year.

Planning permission in Longford
The planning exemptions are national, not local. Since 27 July 2026 a back-garden structure such as a home office, studio, gym or store can be exempt from planning permission up to 30 m² (previously 25 m²), and a detached auxiliary dwelling of 32–45m² to the rear of the main house, connected to its services, can be exempt with 14 days’ notice to the council.
What does change locally is everything around the size limit: zoning, scenic and conservation designations, protected structures and the conditions on siting and remaining open space. That makes your local authority the only reliable answer for your specific site:
