Garden Lodges

Garden Lodges from The Green Room are a smart way to create a living space in your garden

Designed with comfort and practicality in mind, each lodge is fully self-contained and manufactured to high standards. In addition, these one, two, and three-bedroom homes provide an ideal solution for elderly parents, young adults, or guests who need their own independent space.

Unlike traditional brick built granny annexes, garden lodges do not require full planning permission. Instead, we manufacture them to comply with the rules of the Caravan Act, meaning they only require a Lawful Development Certificate. As a result, the process is often quicker, simpler, and more cost-effective.

We deliver every lodge as a complete, all-inclusive project, so there are no hidden extras. This means you receive a fully finished, ready-to-use home in your garden.

Need More Space or a Custom Layout?

If you’re looking for additional layout options or a fully bespoke design, a Granny Annexe may be a better fit. Our annexes are designed to offer more flexibility and can be tailored around your exact needs, with full planning support included.

Smart, Self-Contained Living

Garden Lodges are designed to provide both comfort and privacy. In addition, we offer one, two, and three-bedroom layouts, each complete with a shower room, kitchen, and living area.

No Need for Full Planning Permission

We manufacture Garden Lodges to meet the requirements of the Caravan Act. As a result, you will not usually need full planning permission. Instead, we apply for a Lawful Development Certificate on your behalf to keep the process simple, straightforward, and stress-free.

Garden Lodge Features and Options

Every Garden Lodge is designed to feel like home, with practical features and quality finishes included as standard. You can also choose from a range of optional extras to suit how you plan to use the space.

Compact Kitchen

Each lodge includes a smart, space-saving kitchen complete with a sink, dual hob, extractor fan, and fridge with freezer compartment. As a result, the layout makes efficient use of space without compromising on practicality or everyday functionality.

 

Hideaway Kitchen Option

For a cleaner, more open feel, you can choose a hideaway kitchen that folds neatly away when not in use. As a result, you can keep the living area flexible, spacious, and uncluttered.

Stylish Standard Kitchens

We offer a range of compact kitchen styles, all featuring high-quality finishes, integrated appliances, and efficient storage solutions. As a result, each kitchen combines practicality with a clean, modern look.

En-Suite Shower Room

All lodges include a fully fitted shower room complete with a walk-in shower, toilet, and sink. In addition, we design each space to be safe, practical, and easy to use every day.

Built-in Wardrobes

We Offer Many Designs and Options

Each bedroom includes a sliding-door wardrobe complete with shelving and drawers. As a result, you can make the most of the available space while keeping the room organised and clutter-free.

Compact Vanity Units

To make better use of the available space, we combine the toilet and sink into one compact unit within the shower room. In addition, you can choose from a range of finishes to suit your preferred style.

Modern Electric Showers

To make the most of the available space, we combine the toilet and sink into one compact unit within the shower room. In addition, you can choose from a range of finishes to suit your preferred style.

Efficient Heating

All lodges include slimline electric radiators with 7-day programmable controls. As a result, you can manage the heating easily while helping to keep running costs low.

Durable Flooring

We offer a range of hard-wearing laminate flooring options that are water-resistant, easy to clean, and designed for everyday living.

Home-Style Interior Finish

We offer a range of hard-wearing laminate flooring options that resist water, clean easily, and stand up to everyday living.

Lighting and Safety

We install LED downlights throughout the lodge to create a bright, energy-efficient living space. In addition, we include external lights with PIR sensors near the entrance for added security and visibility.

 

Optional Canopies

Some lodge designs include flyover roofs to provide shelter at the entrance or along one side of the lodge. As a result, they offer added protection and practicality for comfortable all-weather use.

 

Sliding Doors

All wardrobes include sliding doors, which we can also use internally if needed. As a result, they help save space and provide easy access in more compact layouts.

Pitched Roof Option

Choose our dual pitched roof with TapcoSlate tiles to create a vaulted ceiling and add extra space inside. As a result, the lodge feels brighter, more open, and full of character.

 

Comfortable Ceiling Height

We provide a 2.3m ceiling height as standard to create a taller, brighter, and more comfortable living space.

What’s the Difference Between a Garden Lodge and a Granny Annexe?

Garden Lodges and Granny Annexes are very similar. Both give you a self-contained living space in your garden with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living area. The main difference is in how they are approved and installed.

Granny Annexes are fully tailored to your needs and will require planning permission. Garden Lodges follow a fixed layout and are manufactured to meet the Caravan Act. Because of this, they do not need full planning permission. Instead, they require a Lawful Development Certificate. Lodges are manufactured in two sections and assembled on site, which helps keep the process simpler and more affordable.

If you need more space or a fully custom layout, a Granny Annexe may be a better option.

Granny Lodge Construction

SIPs Panel Construction

We manufacture every Garden Lodge using structural insulated panels (SIPs) for the main structure. As a result, each lodge benefits from excellent strength, reliability, and a faster, more efficient build process.

In addition, we manufacture the lodges in two sections before transporting them to your property and assembling them on site.

Insulated and Energy Efficient

SIPs provide excellent thermal performance, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature throughout the year. As a result, they reduce heating demands and can help lower your energy bills.

Durable External Finishes

We use a combination of fibre cement and PVC wood-effect cladding to create a smart, low-maintenance finish. In addition, we manufacture the roof trims, fascias, and soffits from durable PVC, aluminium, or steel to provide long-lasting protection in all weather conditions.

Quality Windows and Doors

Every lodge includes secure PVCu windows and doors fitted with 28mm argon-filled sealed units. As a result, they meet high energy-efficiency standards while helping to keep your lodge warm, quiet, and secure throughout the year.

Low-Maintenance Roof System
Flat or Pitched Roof Options

We finish our flat-roof models with a seamless EPDM membrane to provide long-term weather protection. In addition, we use Tapco slate tiles as standard on all pitched-roof models for a durable and attractive finish.

Lodge Siting

We support all of our garden lodges above the ground using screw piles. As a result, air can flow beneath the structure while also allowing space for lifting cradles or straps if the lodge ever needs to be moved in the future. In addition, the screw piles can be removed with minimal ground disruption if required.

Garden Lodge FAQs

What is a garden lodge?

A garden lodge is a self-contained living space, often constructed under Caravan Act rules. It includes everything needed for independent living and is ideal for a family member or guest.

What’s the difference between a garden lodge and a granny annexe?

The main differences are size, use and planning route. A garden lodge is manufactured under the Caravan Act rules and is restricted by size.  A granny annexe is treated more like an extension to the home and will require planning permission. Both can be used as permanent homes and look almost identical.
