Garden Annexes & Guest Rooms

About Our Garden Annexes & Guest Rooms Service

A garden annexe is built as a small, self-contained living space — typically a bed or sofa bed area, a kitchenette, and often an en-suite shower room, connected to the house's services rather than run off it entirely. This makes it suited to visiting family, adult children, or multi-generational living arrangements common across Greater Manchester. Because an annexe is often used for sleeping accommodation, the design needs to account for Building Regulations requirements around fire safety, insulation and escape routes in a way a simple office or studio does not — this is assessed and confirmed with the relevant authority as part of the design process, never assumed.
