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.

Garden Annexe in Eastcote, Middlesex

Eastcote is a quiet residential suburb on the western edge of Middlesex, characterised by inter-war semis, generous rear gardens, and a strong community of professional commuters. Its tube connections to Central London and access to open countryside make it a sought-after address for families who want space without sacrificing connectivity. The 1930s semi-detached properties that define Eastcote typically feature east- or west-facing rear gardens of 60–80 feet — ideal for a standalone garden room build. With Hillingdon's generally straightforward permitted development position, most Eastcote projects proceed without full planning permission.
