An annexe or additional living space can provide several benefits and can add value to your home.
An annexe adds extra usable space to your property. It will have a bedroom with indoor and outdoor access, a bathroom space with shower, sink and toilet, a kitchen or kitchenette and a connection to services; effectively extending your living area.
SmartSpaces will work with you to customise the design and layout of your annexe to suit your specific needs and preferences. You can create a modern, rustic, or contemporary space that seamlessly integrates with your outdoor landscape.
An annexe can provide a private and secluded area within your property and offers a separate space away from the main house.
Building an annexe can be a cost-effective alternative to an extension or renovation. They can be installed quickly and easily when compared to home extensions.
When designed appropriately, an annexe can be used throughout the year. By incorporating features like heating, cooling, insulation, and proper lighting, you can ensure comfort and usability and it will be energy efficient too.
Studies have shown that spending time outdoors can improve mental health and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It can serve as a sanctuary for relaxation, meditation, or practicing wellness activities.

Yes, planning permission is usually required for a garden annexe that serves as a self-contained living space. Additionally, it must comply with building control regulations. Our site manager can oversee the entire build process for you. For more information on planning and building regulations, please visit our FAQs page or call us to discuss your specific needs.
At SmartSpaces our garden annexes are built to last, with materials carefully chosen for their durability and low maintenance requirements. The timber used is not only visually appealing but also resistant to decay, providing an expected lifespan of 30+ years, and up to 50 years for structures made from Western Red Cedar. Over time, the wood will naturally fade to a silver-grey, but this can be prevented by applying UV oil annually to maintain its original colour. Regular maintenance, such as clearing gutters twice a year and managing vegetation around the structure, is essential to ensure proper airflow and moisture evaporation, helping to protect the building for decades to come.
SmartSpaces have off the shelf builds that you can choose from, or we can build a completely bespoke solution.
