As always we are very happy to show off our completed granny annexe projects. This large 9 x 5-meter annexe built in Kent showcases some of the fine attention to detail we install in all our annexes. Our customers in Kent were delighted with their new home and proud to show it off.
When writing to us, our customers declared that the annexe would be a ‘wonderful addition’ to their family. Due to health reasons, climbing stairs was becoming more difficult so the advantages of single-storey living were obvious.
They also wanted to have the added comfort and security of having their son and his family close by as they grew older, while retaining their independence as a couple and allowing space for both groups of the family.
Being a rectangular shape, space in the annexe is maximised, with plenty of room for a separate living room, kitchen area, bathroom with walk-in shower, study and double bedroom. Double French doors open up on the garden, giving a wonderful view from which to enjoy the garden and watch the grandchildren play.
Traditional cream render was used for the exterior, well complemented by wooden effect casement windows. We look forward to updating the photos once the garden is landscaped to show how well the annexe will sit in its location.
This annexe being one of our larger projects was able to comfortably fit a separated kitchen area from the main living space, while still offering a sense of open plan living through its clever design. The kitchen received an AEG ceramic hob and multi-function over. Stylish white units give a contemporary feel, set off by the black granite style worktops. Oak laminate flooring throughout adds to the feeling of luxury.
In our eyes, this is one of our favourite bathrooms we have created. Modern sleek grey tiles work fantastically with the black and white units, ample proportions allow for a large walk-in shower with plenty of storage options.
The living space was created with a focus on creating a feeling of space and providing plenty of light. In order to provide this, dual aspect windows were installed and a Velux skylight above the kitchen. Large double French doors provide easy access in and out of the annexe, whilst also allowing for further extended views.
Here, although unfurnished, you can get a sense of how well the living area works as a space, with plenty of light and ample room, yet still retaining a comfortable feel. This will be further enhanced by the customer’s decision to install an optional log burner, perfect for cosy winter evenings with their family.
