'I'm thinking now of renting an office but instead in the residential area I live in (think 2-5 minutes drive, 10 max)...'
I have been on a similar journey and now rent an office in small town centre (10 minutes drive from home). It gives me the discipline to work set hours and also the freedom to walk around where other people are going about their business so I don't feel isolated. It's also useful for shops, cafes, bars (for after work) and such.
No solution is ever going to be ideal but this is the nearest I have come so far.
