At The Green Room, we design and build bespoke granny annexes across the UK. We handle everything: planning applications, groundworks, utilities and interior finishes. Moreover, our annexes are warm, energy-efficient and built to last, so they feel like home from day one.
Each annexe is built with the same quality you’d expect from a traditional home. Whether you choose a one-bedroom, two-bedroom or even a three-bedroom annexe design, you’ll get a layout that works for everyday living.
Our garden annexes include a fitted kitchen, en-suite shower room, heating and built-in storage, all tailored to your needs.
Every granny annexe is built with highly insulated SIPs panels and strong screw pile foundations.
All connections to mains services are included, and every all-inclusive annexe comes with heating, electrics, flooring and lighting fitted as standard.
Every one of our garden annexes comes with a 10-year comprehensive guarantee, giving you full peace of mind for the years ahead.
Choose from a wide range of kitchen and bathroom fittings, colours, flooring options and practical storage. Smaller spaces can include hideaway kitchens and compact furniture solutions. Every annexe is planned around your lifestyle and preferences.
Planning permission is often required, but we can guide you through the process. If your granny annexe meets certain conditions, a Lawful Development Certificate may be possible.
A wide choice of custom options is available, including internal walls, doors, canopies, bathrooms, kitchens, fitted furniture and sliding doors. Everything can be tailored to suit your space and how you plan to use it.
Our space-saving kitchens include a sink, dual hob, extractor fan and fridge with freezer compartment. Ideal for smaller annexes where every inch counts.
For a neat finish, choose a hideaway kitchen that folds away when not in use. A practical choice that keeps your living area open and flexible.
We offer a wide range of kitchen styles, all finished in high-quality materials with modern appliances and clever storage options.
Each annexe includes a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, toilet and sink. Designed for comfort, safety and ease of use.
Built-in wardrobes with sliding doors, shelves and drawers come as standard. Perfect for keeping your annexe organised and clutter-free.
Toilets and sinks are combined in a single L-shaped unit, maximising space without sacrificing style or storage.
Our en-suites feature chrome electric showers with thermostatic controls and safety stop features for added peace of mind.
We use eco-friendly electric radiators with programmable 7-day settings, giving you control over comfort and running costs.
Every annexe comes with durable laminate flooring in a range of natural finishes. Easy to clean and fully water resistant.
Walls and ceilings are plastered smooth, not panelled or plastic-lined, giving a home-like finish ready for decorating.
LED downlights are fitted throughout, with external sensor lights installed at the entrance for added safety and convenience.
These practical additions offer extra shelter at the entrance or along one side of your annexe. Ideal for keeping the area dry, shaded and usable in all weather.
Sliding doors are a smart space-saving option that allow for smooth, easy access between rooms or built-in storage areas. Ideal for smaller layouts.
Most garden room companies stick to 2.1m ceilings to avoid planning permission. Ours are 2.3m as standard, giving you a taller, brighter and more comfortable living space.
Our pitched roof option includes TapcoSlate tiles and a vaulted ceiling inside. It brings extra headroom and a more open feel throughout the space.
Whether you need space for one person or more, we offer a range of layouts and sizes to suit your garden and living needs. All of our garden annexes are fully customisable and built to match your preferred setup.
A compact and comfortable option with an open plan living area, fitted kitchen, separate bedroom and walk-in shower room. Ideal for independent living without taking up too much garden space.
Designed for families who need a little more room. Includes two bedrooms, a larger kitchen and living space, plus a walk-in shower room. A great choice for couples or live-in carers.
Our three-bedroom granny annexe includes two double bedrooms, a single room that can double as a study, an open-plan living area, a fitted kitchen and a walk-in shower room. A great choice for families needing more space and comfort.
We use structural insulated panels (SIPs) to form the core structure of every annexe. These panels are strong, energy-efficient and allow for fast build times. Most annexes are ready to use within just 3 to 4 weeks.
SIPs panels provide excellent thermal performance, helping keep your annexe warm in winter and cool in summer. This reduces energy use and keeps running costs low all year round.
We use a mix of fibre cement and wood-grain effect PVC cladding that is low maintenance and built to last. Fascias, soffits and trims are made from durable steel, aluminium or PVC.
Every annexe is fitted with strong, secure PVCu windows and doors, using 28mm argon-filled sealed units that meet A-rated energy standards.
The roof is finished with a seamless RubberCover EPDM membrane, designed to provide long-term weather protection. It also features a gravel topcoat for a clean, low-maintenance finish and added durability.
All annexes are built on screw piles or reinforced concrete pad foundations. These provide a stable, long-lasting base that meets building control standards and supports your annexe for many years.
When you choose a granny annexe from The Green Room, you get a complete, fully finished home with nothing left out. Every build includes foundations, utility connections and internal finishes. It’s excellent value for money and ready to use from the moment we hand over the keys.
