Kitchen, Living & Dining Space
The Studio Annexe features a thoughtfully designed open-plan living area where every element has been carefully positioned to create distinct zones without the need for space-consuming internal walls. The living area provides comfortable seating for relaxation and entertainment, with space for armchair, coffee table, and television, whilst maintaining an easy flow to the kitchen area.
Bathroom
The separate shower room provides privacy and modern comfort within the compact Studio layout. Contemporary sanitaryware includes a low-profile shower tray with thermostatic shower, close-coupled toilet with soft-close seat, and wall-mounted basin with integrated storage beneath. The compact layout maximises floor space whilst providing all essential facilities for comfortable daily living.
Exterior
The Studio Annexe exterior combines modern architectural principles with material choices that complement any garden setting. Our signature flat roof design creates clean, contemporary lines that work beautifully with both traditional and modern properties, whilst the compact scale ensures the annexe enhances rather than dominates your outdoor space.
Cladding Options:
- Composite Cladding: Low-maintenance contemporary finish available in multiple colours, providing fade resistance and weather protection with minimal ongoing maintenance requirements
- Western Red Cedar: Natural timber cladding that weathers beautifully to an attractive silver-grey patina, offering traditional warmth and sustainable material choice
Windows and doors are carefully positioned to maximise natural light and garden views whilst maintaining appropriate privacy from neighbours.
Accessibility
The open-plan layout reduces navigation challenges and provides excellent sight lines throughout the space. The shower room can be specified with grab rail mounting points built into the wall structure, allowing for easy installation of support aids as needs develop. Kitchen and storage areas are designed to be accessible from both seated and standing positions, with worktop heights and storage positions optimised for ease of use.

Dual Approach To Planning
At Grannexe, we understand that planning permission can be the biggest concern when considering a granny annexe. That’s why we’ve developed our dual planning strategy, a comprehensive approach that virtually guarantees planning approval by pursuing both traditional planning permission and Lawful Development Certificate routes simultaneously.
You can read more about the process on our page here.
Build Details
Grannexe delivers exceptional thermal performance through 150mm PIR insulation throughout walls, floors, and ceilings, creating annexes that stay warm in winter and cool in summer with minimal energy costs. Our insulated timber frame construction sits on solid concrete foundations, providing structural integrity and thermal mass that eliminates cold spots and drafts.
Built with engineered timber framing, our annexes feature continuous insulation envelopes that prevent thermal bridging, while EPDM flat roofing provides 25-year weatherproof protection. The combination of high-performance insulation, quality timber construction, and professional waterproofing creates superior comfort levels year-round.
This advanced construction methodology delivers energy bills up to 60% lower than traditional builds, while the precision-manufactured timber frame and concrete foundation system ensures long-term structural stability that outperforms conventional construction.
