Granny annexes come of age

By Steven Willis on 13th December, 2009

Garden rooms have taken off as a great solution to a home office or studio, but they aren't restricted to single uses - they can also provide fully self-contained living quarters in the form of granny annexes. With families growing larger; children staying at home longer than ever before and more elderly parents being cared for in the family home, the opportunity to have separate accommodation within the grounds of your property is an increasingly attractive proposition for many. 

High-specification bathrooms, wetrooms, kitchens and lounge areas are just some of the facilities that can be integrated into garden buildings, helping to create an independent unit with all the comforts and conveniences of a main home. Also, a genuine sense of independence is achieved by the fact that the garden building is set aside from the main home, an often important issue which simply cannot be attained with a house extension or conversion. 

Here at Decorated Shed we have several building designs that provide the perfect space for a number of different lifestyles. The Flat Lodge and Curved Lodge units offer a comfortable single-storey area that is ideal for elderly people, whilst the Barn - with its ultra-modern mezzanine level and segmented layout - is a perfect fit for younger generations. Despite the many design variations available, something that every Decorated Shed building has in common is pure functionality, impeccable build quality and use of the very best materials - in short, they're built for living.
