Where the Value Sits

The spread between the cheapest and most expensive listing is over £1.4m, but the summer house specification varies just as widely. Buyers weighing the Somerset and Suffolk options will find the most amenity-rich outbuildings at opposite ends of the price range. The next test for several of these properties will be autumn, when the garden-season premium typically begins to ease.
