Garden annexes have become particularly sought-after across Putney's tree-lined streets, where period properties meet modern family needs. Whether tucked behind an Edwardian semi on Keswick Road or positioned at the foot of a sloping Putney Hill garden, these structures solve space challenges without the upheaval of moving. Local planning considerations around conservation areas near Putney Common mean working with specialists who understand the borough's specific requirements makes all the difference.
Construction typically begins with groundworks adapted to Putney's mix of London clay and river terrace deposits. Insulated timber frames go up quickly, minimising disruption to established borders and mature trees. Modern SIPs panels ensure year-round comfort whilst triple-glazed windows frame views of your garden. Each annexe incorporates full utilities - electricity, water, heating - creating genuinely habitable spaces rather than glorified sheds.
Years of navigating Wandsworth's planning maze means anticipating potential objections before they arise. Strong relationships with local building control officers help smooth the approval process, particularly important given SW15's mix of conservation zones and standard residential areas.
