Homeowners looking to spruce up their outdoor space are looking to the past, according to new research from The Posh Shed Company.

Using Pinterest, The Posh Shed Company found searches for the terms ‘Victorian Terrace Garden Back’ and ‘Victorian Terrace Front Garden’ have soared over the last month, increasing by 200% and 100% respectively.

It comes as The Posh Shed Company unveil The Gothic – a statement shed inspired by Victorian-era architecture.

Boasting a high-pitched roof, elegant arched windows and doors and signature fascias, The Gothic will transform any outdoor space into a graceful Victorian garden.

Jenny Davis from The Posh Shed Company said: “The Gothic is not just a shed. It’s a statement of style and sophistication.

“Whether you are looking for a shed to complement your home or  just want to carve out your own corner of Victoriana, this period-inspired structure is the ultimate in design.”

As with any Posh Shed, it is the detail that really makes a difference.

Homeowners won’t find a single nail peeking out, they’re all cleverly concealed beneath distinctive vertical boarding resulting in sleek, flawless walls.

Available in three finishes, the standard comes with double glazing to allow light and fresh air to flood the shed, fully insulated flooring and composite slate or cedar shingle roofs.

Those who upgrade to Comfortably Posh can expect insulation to the walls and roof, as well as tongue and groove boarding on the interior, while Unbelievably Posh sheds come with guttering and a water butt, internal shelving and an upgrade to the flooring.

The Gothic is available in four sizes, from 6×4 through to 10×8, and seven exterior paint colours: Sage Whisper, Warm Wheat, Soft Linen, Dove Grey, Thunderstorm, Mistral Blue and Harbour Haze.

All Posh Sheds come with a 20-year guarantee.

The Gothic is available now from The Posh Shed Company, with prices starting at £4,999.
