High-quality, fully managed design & build across Cheshire — Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Knutsford and Warrington. Fully managed design & build across Cheshire and the wider North West.
Independent living, close to home
A granny annexe lets a relative live independently but close by — and a garden annexe adds genuine self-contained accommodation without the cost and upheaval of moving. We design and build self-contained annexes to full residential standard: kitchen, bathroom, heating, insulation and glazing, built to be lived in year-round, not a glorified garden room.
Built to residential standard means it's warm, properly serviced and signed off — not an outbuilding pretending to be a home.
A proper self-contained home
- Design & planning — annexe applications and Building Regulations handled in-house.
- Kitchen & bathroom — full self-contained facilities, plumbed and certified.
- Heating & insulation — built to residential thermal standard for year-round living.
- Services & finish — NICEIC electrics, glazing and a full interior finish.

Garden & Granny Annexe FAQs
What's the difference between an annexe and a garden room?
A garden room is a single usable space; an annexe is a self-contained home — kitchen, bathroom, heating and insulation — built to full residential standard for someone to actually live in. We build both, and we'll advise which suits your needs.
Do I need planning permission for an annexe?
Usually yes — self-contained living accommodation takes it beyond permitted development, and there can be conditions tying its use to the main house. We handle the application and Building Regulations in-house.
Can it be used for rental or Airbnb?
That depends on the planning consent — annexes are often conditioned for use in connection with the main dwelling. We'll flag what's achievable for your situation at the site visit.
