Studio Annex

We appreciate that sometimes the available space for an annex needs to fit within a terraced house garden, or indeed that the requirements are such that the occupant does not require a separate bedroom and living space. For that reason we have developed our Studio Annex, where the main space doubles as the living room and bedroom, with a separate shower room with sink and WC.

Frequently Asked Questions

The main factor to consider is that your annex should not occupy more than 50% of your available garden, and ideally be a maximum of 2.5 metres in height.

A garden annex build period is typically 4-6 weeks from start to completion.

We predominantly use ground screw foundations but also have a pad system to enable us to build up from an existing concrete base. All foundations costs are included.
