Natural extension to your home with a granny annex

Natural extension to your home with a granny annex

By Matthew Thompson on 28th March, 2011

It is said that home is where the heart is, and Decorated Shed’s garden granny annexes add to the aesthetics of any household. A specially designed, individual building built in your garden can be accommodation for guests, a relaxing getaway or even an independent residence for a family member. Our contemporary styled garden buildings are carefully constructed to provide you with the perfect addition to your home. Investing in a granny annex with modern appliances, highly insulated walls and expansive glazed windows transforms your home into a hive of activity and opens up a realm of opportunities.

Environmentally Constructed

Our granny annex designs, similar to all our buildings are built to have the minimum possible effect on the environment around it. Every aspect from the materials sourced to the methods used, are ecologically evaluated before use as we aim to make the least environmental impact as possible. The highly insulated qualities of our buildings mean that they retain heat in the colder months and remain cooler in the summer, providing a wonderful atmosphere throughout the year.

Guest Accommodation

A Decorated Shed granny annex is the perfect addition to a home as a guest residence, saving you space in your home. A purpose built guest house is an ideal solution to an accommodation problem and looks striking amongst the foliage of your garden. Our designs offer a premium standard of building, with terrific build quality and are sustainable and durable, creating a stylish and contemporary atmosphere for your guests to reside. All aspects of the annex are considered by Decorated Shed as our highly dedicated and meticulous team are capable of installing whatever you need a wet room, gym, or kitchen for example. The luxurious garden building is the ideal location for weekend guests, family and friends to stay and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of your garden.

Independent residence

Families grow, which is why a granny annex is perfectly suited as an independent residence for an older teenager or an elderly family member. Our design incorporates a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living areas which is a great way to grant freedom and independence to the family. A separate building from the home, with all modern amenities is the logical next step for your child to make on their road to adulthood. Where better for their independence to flourish then in a specially designed, premium garden annex which is equipped and built with your interests central to the design? The interior of the granny annex is spacious and light, making it a pleasant and enjoyable place to be. We aim to exceed expectations with our designs and create a tranquil environment in which you can relax.

Activities

As we have discussed in previous articles, our designs here at Decorated Shed can incorporate a variety of activities or pastimes which you participate in and an annex in the garden can be more than a guest house or a place for family to reside. We are capable of transforming the extra space in your garden into a valued and artistic building which you can use as a music room, garden gym building or dance studio. We personalise all aspects of our designs to maximise your enjoyment and satisfaction not just from the building, but also life. A granny annex can transform your garden into a stylish and fashionable space; the exterior cladding, which is available in different colours, blends in with the surrounding nature beautifully providing the perfect backdrop for your building.

The expansive, glazed windows bathe the interior of the building in natural light and create a serene and organic atmosphere, ideal for whatever you choose to do. A Decorated Shed granny annex does not sacrifice the style of the design, and we produce an outstanding product to match the unrivalled functionality which our garden buildings possess. Incredible amounts of time and effort goes into every aspect of the build and our team with over 70 years combined experience in the construction industry produce a premium building, individually specialised for you.
