If you need more room without moving, a garden annexe can transform how you use your plot in CR2. We design and build self-contained annexes that work for guests, older relatives, or a quiet work base. From near South Croydon station to homes backing onto Lloyd Park, we tailor the layout to your garden’s shape and access. Expect a comfortable, insulated build with a proper bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette.
South Croydon is known for leafy streets, excellent schools and generous gardens, especially around Sanderstead and Purley. We regularly work with large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas where side access, mature trees and neighbouring boundaries need careful planning. Our annexes are designed to sit comfortably alongside period features while delivering modern performance. The result is extra living space that feels like part of the home, not an afterthought.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear concept drawings, then refine the specification around insulation, electrics and plumbing. You’ll get transparent staging, tidy working practices and a build programme you can plan around. We also provide planning support, liaising with the council where required and advising on permitted development limits. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent workmanship, clear communication and a finish that lasts.
Across the garden annexes South Croydon area, we often encounter sloping plots, mature roots near Croham Hurst Woods, and tight side access on 1930s semis. Parking and delivery timing can be crucial on residential roads, so we plan logistics to minimise disruption. We’re familiar with expectations for garden buildings and annexes in the London Borough of Croydon and can guide you through drawings, neighbour considerations and any conditions. Our base is around 15 minutes away, so support is close at hand.




Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with size, specification and services, but most garden annexes in London Borough of Croydon fall broadly between £45,000 and £120,000+. A compact, self-contained studio with kitchenette and shower room sits at the lower end, while larger one-bed layouts with higher-end finishes, upgraded insulation and more complex plumbing/electrics move upward. Groundworks, drainage runs and access constraints in CR2 can also affect the budget.
A typical build is around 8–14 weeks from start on site, depending on size and complexity. Simple footprints with straightforward service connections progress faster, while longer drainage runs, bespoke joinery, or more extensive foundations can extend the programme. Planning and design time is separate and can add several weeks, especially if drawings need revisions. We provide a clear schedule and keep you updated at each stage.
Some garden buildings can be permitted development, but a self-contained annexe with sleeping and washing facilities often needs closer checks. Rules depend on height, location in the garden, overall footprint, and how the space will be used. In parts of the London Borough of Croydon there may also be constraints linked to conservation areas or previous permissions. We provide planning support and confirm what applies before work begins.
