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 Annexes in Hampstead

Hampstead, one of London's most affluent conservation areas, is seeing strong demand for self-contained habitable garden annexe builds among its media professionals and academics. The area's Georgian and Victorian villas with walled gardens provide the space and privacy needed for a high-specification build, while Camden Council's planning framework keeps the process straightforward for most residential plots. Our recommended installers deliver full Building Control compliance, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, separate utility connections, and fire-rated construction as standard on every Hampstead project.

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. They offer a cost-effective alternative to care homes, house extensions, or buying a separate property.

Planning Authority: London Borough of Camden

Most of Hampstead sits within the Hampstead and Fitzjohns Conservation Area. Camden's planning team requires outbuildings to be sympathetically designed with appropriate materials — timber, brick, and natural slates are typically acceptable; industrial composite finishes are not. Full planning permission may be required for some builds.
