A garden annexe gives you a private, self-contained place for guests, older children, a home office or multigenerational living. We design and build annexes with a proper bedroom area, bathroom and kitchenette—ready to use all year round. Every build is tailored to your garden layout, access and how you want to live.
Homeowners across the garden annexes Pollards Hill area often have 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, each with different plot sizes and boundaries. We plan annex footprints that respect neighbouring sightlines and make the most of side access where it exists. Whether you’re near South Lodge Avenue, Norbury or Mitcham, we’ll match the annexe style to your property and garden. The result is a premium finish that looks intentional, not bolted on.
Our process covers survey, design, specification and a clear programme of works, including insulation, electrics and plumbing.

We’re used to working with the proportions of 1930s semis and post-war plots, keeping annexes practical without overwhelming the garden. Our nearby base means quick site visits and responsive project management.

Costs vary with size, specification and how “self-contained” you want it. As a guide, a well-finished insulated garden annexe typically starts around £45,000–£70,000, while larger annexes with a full bathroom, kitchenette, upgraded glazing and higher-end finishes often fall between £75,000–£120,000+. Groundworks, drainage runs, access constraints and electrical/plumbing complexity can move the budget up or down.
Most projects take 6–12 weeks on site once the design and specification are agreed. Smaller annexes with straightforward access and short service runs can be quicker, while larger builds with bathrooms, kitchenettes, bespoke joinery and more complex groundworks can extend the programme. Timescales are also affected by planning or permitted development checks, lead times for windows/doors, and weather during groundwork stages.
Many garden buildings can fall under permitted development, but a self-contained annexe can trigger extra considerations around use, size, height, positioning and services. In the London Borough of Merton we review your site constraints, check whether permitted development applies, and advise if a planning application or a certificate of lawfulness is sensible. We provide planning support and the drawings/details needed to keep everything compliant.
