Behind the bustling markets and railway arches of SW2 and SW9, countless gardens await transformation. The typical Brixton plot – those long rectangles stretching behind terraced houses – provides ideal dimensions for annexe development. Many residents here seek creative solutions for extended family, rental income, or simply a dedicated workspace away from the main house.
Modern annexe construction involves careful coordination with Lambeth's planning department, particularly given Brixton's conservation areas near Trinity Gardens. Foundation work accounts for London clay conditions, while insulation specifications exceed building regulations to ensure year-round comfort. Electrical connections integrate with existing consumer units, and water supplies tap into mains pressure systems typical of these Victorian properties.
Local knowledge matters when navigating the narrow access routes between Brixton's tightly-packed houses. Years spent working across Brixton Hill's sloping gardens and Herne Hill's conservation zones have taught us exactly which materials fit through standard side returns.
