Contemporary garden annexe with timber and render exterior and a glazed living and kitchen area

Granny Annexes

INDEPENDENT LIVING. FAMILY CLOSE BY.

A comfortable, self-contained space of their own — with the reassurance of family only a few steps away.

An annexe can give an older relative or grown-up child privacy and independence without distance. Layouts are designed around accessibility, comfort and day-to-day living, and the approvals process is discussed openly from the very first conversation.

Independence with support

Their own front door, moments from the family home.

Adaptable layouts

Living, sleeping, kitchen and bathroom arrangements planned together.

Accessibility considered

Level access, door widths and circulation discussed at design stage.

Designed to feel like home

Natural light, storage and finishes chosen with the occupant.

Choices you can make

  • Bedroom, living and kitchenette arrangements
  • Bathroom or wet-room provision
  • Level access and wider doorways
  • Heating, insulation and ventilation specification
  • External finishes to complement the house

Available options depend on the final design and specification agreed with you. We do not publish fixed dimensions or prices.

Questions

GRANNY ANNEXES — YOUR QUESTIONS.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission for an annexe?

Very possibly. Requirements vary by UK nation, site, property restrictions, size, construction and intended use — and self-contained or sleeping accommodation needs particular attention. Site-specific advice should be obtained before work proceeds.

Will it need to meet building regulations?

Habitable accommodation generally engages building regulations. What applies to your project is assessed individually and explained in writing.

Can it have a kitchen and bathroom?

Kitchenette and bathroom provision is possible in principle, subject to drainage, services and the approvals that apply to your site.
