Timber Cabins & Garden Rooms in Roscommon
Insulated Nordic timber cabins from €14,500 incl. VAT, with delivery, professional assembly and a 10-year structural warranty.
Roscommon is limestone country for the most part, which generally means firm, well-drained ground and a straightforward base — a welcome change from the counties either side of it. The exception is the eastern edge along the Shannon, where the callows flood every winter as a matter of course rather than as a surprise.
Sites here are large and affordable, and the county is about two hours from our yard. Most of what we build in Roscommon is accommodation on family land rather than garden offices: permanent homes, auxiliary dwellings and housing for family members.

Delivery, access and ground conditions
Roscommon is about 155 km from our Dublin yard, roughly two hours by road. Transport and assembly are included in the quoted price.
Limestone ground across much of the county drains well and makes a stable base with little preparation.
The Shannon callows along the eastern boundary flood every winter. On that land, raising the building and planning drainage is the starting point, not an afterthought.
Bog occurs in pockets, particularly towards the north and east. Where the site is on peat, the foundation needs designing.
Rural sites are generous but access lanes and gateposts are worth measuring before delivery day.

Every price includes delivery to your Roscommon site, assembly by our own crew and a 10-year structural warranty.
Planning permission in Roscommon
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:
