Create Extra Space At Home Annexe to Live in

Do you own a property with sufficient outdoor space in your garden? You may have already considered building an annexe to live in to accommodate a family member. Many people construct annexes to care for elderly relatives, especially given the high fees for care homes. However, garden annexes have evolved over the past few decades. Cabin Master offers a range of cabins to live in that homeowners now use just as often for their children as for their aging parents! These spaces are especially valuable for parents looking to give their children independence while they struggle to get onto the property ladder.

Additionally, building a garden room can increase the overall value of your home.

Downsizing

Downsizing to an annexe simplifies your living situation, reducing maintenance costs and offering a cosy, manageable space. It allows independent living while staying close to loved ones, providing privacy and comfort. With an annexe, you can make the most of your garden without sacrificing convenience or flexibility.

Earn Some Extra Income

Renting a room in your home can intrude on your privacy and security. Renting an annexe, however, offers a separate, self-contained living space for a tenant, maintaining your personal space and independence. It provides privacy for both you and your tenant, offering a comfortable living arrangement without disrupting your daily routine.

Keep Relatives Close

As parents age and become frail, many of us want to keep them close and care for them, ensuring they can manage daily tasks and maintain their well-being. A liveable annex offers a perfect solution, allowing you to provide the care and support they need while giving them the independence to live comfortably on their own. It creates a living arrangement that benefits both you and your parents, offering the ideal balance of proximity, privacy, and support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is An Annexe A Good Idea?

A Cabin Master annexe is the best, and one of the most cost effective ways to keep your loved ones close. It is absolutely worth it to make sure that your family members are safe and doing good, as well as allowing yourself (and them) some independence.

What Is A Maximum Size For An Annexe Without Planning Permission?

Although we don’t deal with planning permission, your Annexe garden building can really be any size so long as it is not larger than 50% of your garden size and isn't built past the front of your house.

 
 

What is a Garden Annexe?

Whether you're looking for a space to keep your elderly relatives close by, or an area for your teenage kids to let loose, but with the added bonus of maintaining their independence, these purpose-built, future-proof dwellings provides independence for their parents and proximity for family support, striking the ideal balance. Serving as a cost-effective, comfortable alternative to traditional care homes or extending you property. As teenagers navigate their path towards adulthood, they often crave their own space—a place where they can entertain friends, study in peace, and unwind, all while flexing their burgeoning independence. At this pivotal life stage, a garden room can perfectly meet these needs, offering an exclusive haven a stone's throw away from the family home.

How Should I Design My Annexe?

  • Keep your annex interior neutral: Neutral colours like whites, greys, pinks and earthy tones are perfect for creating a warm and homely ambience in your annex. It’s  just a question of choosing the right tone for you! Continue that colour palette throughout to create a flow from room to room.

 

  • Less is more: A few eye-catching accessories will add to the overall feel and elegance of your annex. Less is most definitely more when it comes to keeping your annex looking ultra-stylish. 

 

  • Make use of all your space: Start as you mean to go on in your Cabin Master annex and take pride in living in the most charming and organised space ever! Take a trip to your local IKEA store to be inspired by all the different racks, storage boxes and ideas they have to transform everything from your fridge to your wardrobe and everything in between.

What's the Difference Between a Garden Room and an Annexe?

Bespoke garden rooms are similar to an annexe, with the difference being that garden rooms aren’t designed for you to live in but more to make better use of your outdoor space. Whether you want a dedicated gym area to workout in, an outdoor home office, relaxing yoga space, studio to get to creative in – the possibilities really are endless & at Cabin Master we can help make your dreams a reality.

Is an Annexe Classed as a Separate Dwelling?

In order for a self-contained annex to qualify as a dwelling, it will need to have the facilities to provide the basic living necessities such as facilities for personal hygiene, consumption of food and drink, storage of personal belongings and a place to sleep. 

Based on our popular garden rooms our Granny Garden Annexes are heat efficient, self-contained living spaces, creating warm and welcome home environments thanks to the exceptional insulation and high-quality double-glazed windows and doors. The perfect solution to providing additional living spaces in the garden.
