Introducing Annexe Spaces
With many years of experience designing and building self-contained homes in gardens, Annexe Spaces is among the longest-established specialists in the annexe sector. They focus on creating high-quality, fully personalised living annexes and offer a comprehensive ‘One Stop Shop’ service, managing everything from early design concepts through to final decoration.
At the heart of their approach is a belief that each annexe should reflect the needs of its future occupant. Designers work closely with clients to understand how they want to live, tailoring the design accordingly—from the layout and glazing configuration to the level of specification. Annexe Spaces is equally comfortable creating compact studio annexes or more complex multi-room homes.
Unlike many providers, they take a dual approach to the permissions process, applying for both Full Householder Planning Permission and a Lawful Development Certificate under the Caravan Act, to give the project the best chance of success. Their buildings combine contemporary style with high-performance materials and can be enhanced with smart features and acoustic upgrades.

Design
Annexe Spaces offers a fully bespoke design service, with clients encouraged to be involved at every stage of the process. Their team will tailor the internal layout, window and door placements, and specification details around the client’s lifestyle and preferences. Kitchens and bathrooms are designed to suit individual needs, with choices around size, layout, colour, fixtures and finishes. Smart heating, AV, and internet connectivity options are also available, with the electrical specification customised to support modern living.
Layouts
Each annexe layout is individually designed, whether for open-plan living or a more traditional room-by-room arrangement. Annexe Spaces works with clients to understand how the building will be used and creates a configuration to suit. They are adept at designing both compact single-room homes and larger, multi-room layouts with defined kitchen, living, and bathroom areas. Accessibility considerations and space-saving features can be incorporated where needed.
Approval Process
Planning and compliance are handled in-house. Annexe Spaces often applies for both routes in parallel—submitting a Full Householder Planning Permission application alongside a Lawful Development Certificate for a mobile home under the Caravan Act. This dual approach can increase the chances of gaining approval, and all paperwork and liaison with the local authority is managed as part of their ‘One Stop Shop’ service.
Service
Clients benefit from a fully managed service. Annexe Spaces oversees the entire build from foundation to completion, including all groundworks and utility connections. Trenching and connection to mains services are included in the scope of works and handled by their installation team. Electrical and plumbing systems are commissioned and signed off, and the finished home is handed over ready for immediate use—no need to organise separate trades.
Structure
Buildings are constructed using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which offer excellent thermal performance and airtightness. This multi-layer core structure supports year-round use and can be combined with a range of exterior cladding options, including durable timber and low-maintenance composite finishes. Interior finishes are tailored to client preferences, and a choice of heating and cooling systems—such as underfloor heating and Wi-Fi controlled air conditioning—is available.
Site Challenges
Annexe Spaces is experienced in handling difficult sites, including sloping ground, tight access, and irregularly shaped gardens. They approach each project with flexibility and problem-solving expertise, tailoring both the design and installation approach to suit the plot. This makes them a good choice for clients with non-standard requirements or complex site conditions.
