Why Choose a Garden Annexes?

Provide comfortable, independent living space for family members with a self-contained garden annex. Perfect for elderly relatives (Granny Annexes), young adults needing independence, guest accommodation, or even rental income. Our recommended installers build fully habitable homes to building control standards, complete with kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas.

Garden Annexe FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a garden annex?
Yes. Garden annexes intended for sleeping or living accommodation almost always require planning permission. Our partner installers manage the full application process on your behalf and can advise on the likelihood of approval in your specific borough.
Can I rent out a garden annex?
This depends on your planning permission conditions. Some approvals restrict use to 'ancillary' accommodation for family only, while others permit independent letting. We recommend discussing your intentions with your installer at the feasibility stage.
How much does a garden annex cost?
Garden annexes typically start from £65,000 and range to £120,000+ depending on size, specification, and finishing level. While this is more than a standard garden room, it's significantly less than a traditional extension or buying additional property.
