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 Northolt

For value-conscious families in Northolt, creating independent living space for family members, guests, or rental income is a compelling proposition. The area's post-war semis and terraces with modest but usable gardens give installers room to work with, and the affordable Ealing borough suburb on the Central line setting means builds here tend to enhance rather than overwhelm the streetscape. Our Northolt projects are specified with full Building Control compliance, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, separate utility connections, and fire-rated construction, and planning under Ealing is well-understood by our vetted installer network.

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.
