Camberwell homeowners are using garden annexes to create independent space for family, guests or rental income without moving. Close to Camberwell Green and Denmark Hill station, gardens vary from compact courtyards to longer plots behind terraces. Our annexes are fully self-contained, with a kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom layout tailored to how you’ll actually live in it. We also plan access routes and neighbour considerations from day one.
The SE5 area includes Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and newer apartment blocks with shared boundaries and tight side returns. We design garden annexes Camberwell area clients can heat efficiently, with high-performance insulation and sensible glazing for privacy. For period properties, we match proportions and materials so the annex feels like a natural addition. Where gardens are smaller, we focus on smart storage, sliding doors and compact bathroom layouts.
Fine Landscaping manages the full build: groundworks, structure, insulation, electrics, plumbing, fit-out and final finishes. You’ll receive clear specifications, staged payments and a realistic programme, plus regular site updates. We keep disruption down with considerate working hours and clean handovers. Many clients choose us for our straightforward planning support and dependable aftercare.
Camberwell streets often mean controlled parking and limited access, especially near King’s College Hospital and busy routes. We plan deliveries, waste removal and site storage to suit tighter driveways and narrow side passages. Southwark’s property mix also brings shared boundaries, so we set out carefully and agree details early to avoid disputes. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess foundations and drainage before finalising the build.

Costs in SE5 typically range from £45,000–£90,000+ depending on size, specification and site access. A compact, well-finished studio-style annex with shower room and kitchenette is usually at the lower end. Larger one-bedroom annexes with higher-end finishes, underfloor heating, bespoke glazing and more complex plumbing or foundations sit higher. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit and design brief.
Most builds take around 8–14 weeks on site once designs and approvals are in place. Smaller annexes with straightforward access can be quicker, while tighter Camberwell plots, bespoke joinery, or extensive groundworks can extend the programme. Lead times for windows, kitchens and bathroom fittings also affect schedules. We confirm a realistic timeline after surveying the garden and agreeing the specification.
Some garden buildings can fall under permitted development, but a self-contained annexe (with bathroom and kitchenette) may trigger additional rules around use, size and location. In the London Borough of Southwark, constraints such as conservation areas, listed buildings, or boundary conditions can also apply. We check your property’s status, advise on the safest route, and provide planning support where an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the main structural build elements of your garden annexe. This includes issues arising from installation defects in the structure, insulation build-up and weatherproofing, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items like windows, doors, boilers or electric heaters, and sanitaryware. You’ll receive handover documentation and clear aftercare guidance.
We offer a wide range of options, from contemporary timber cladding and brick slips to rendered finishes that complement Georgian and Victorian homes. Inside, popular choices include LVT or engineered oak flooring, compact kitchenette runs, and space-saving pocket doors. You can choose flat or pitched roofs, skylights, and acoustic upgrades for quieter rooms. We guide you through layouts, finishes and budget trade-offs to suit your garden and goals.
