Those generous Biggin Hill gardens deserve more than just a shed at the bottom. A properly built annexe transforms unused lawn into valuable living space, whether you're accommodating family or creating that long-awaited home office.

Biggin Hill's characteristic larger plots make it ideal territory for garden annexes. With many properties here sitting on quarter-acre gardens or more, there's genuine potential to add substantial square footage without sacrificing outdoor enjoyment. Recent changes to permitted development rights have simplified the process considerably, though navigating the specifics around the TN16 conservation areas still requires local knowledge.
Modern annexe construction has evolved far beyond glorified summer houses. Today's builds incorporate structural insulated panels, underfloor heating, and proper foundations designed for year-round occupation. The key lies in balancing thermal efficiency with natural light - particularly important given how those mature oak trees common to Keston borders can cast long shadows. Smart positioning relative to existing drainage runs often saves thousands on groundwork costs.
Twenty years of building across the Downs has taught us which suppliers deliver on time to TN16's awkward access roads. Local planning officers know our work from Tatsfield to Westerham, which smooths applications considerably.

Basic 20m² structures start around £25,000, while fully fitted 40m² annexes with bathroom facilities typically range £45,000-£65,000. Premium specifications with vaulted ceilings push towards £80,000.
Absolutely - from the village centre out to Berry's Green and across to Leaves Green. We're equally familiar with Aperfield's rural plots and properties backing onto the common.
Foundation to handover typically runs 8-12 weeks. Planning applications add 8-10 weeks upfront, though permitted development routes can begin immediately.
Each structure carries decade-long coverage on the building envelope. This encompasses the roof system, external walls, windows and doors - essentially everything keeping the weather out.
Most Biggin Hill properties allow connection to existing services via armoured cables and insulated water pipes. Separate meters aren't mandatory for domestic annexes, though some prefer the clarity for rental situations.
