Garden Annexe Range

Wouldn’t it be great to have that extra space to accommodate more guests at your hotel or guest house, or for your own private office so you can work flexibly from home, or to give you peace of mind and have elderly relatives in self-contained accommodation in your garden.

A home office is a definite selling feature and more and more people are working from home for some of the week, if not all of the week. Even retirement housing needs a home office as many people are continuing to work in later years. Garden rooms that serve as home offices have the benefit of allowing you to get away from the house altogether, no matter what size your garden is.

Tourism and ‘staycations’ are also on the rise in Scotland, and also with so many festivals and shows, we have a stress free, hassle free solution for you to generate and boost your income, whether you are a hotel, a guest house or a private individual.

We manufacture residential lodges for elderly relatives, contemporary style suites accommodation that replicates a hotel room/suite – which is ideal for hotels and guest houses for overspill accommodation. We can also create extra space for you at your home, whether it is a garden room that you can escape to, seeking peace and tranquility, a home office, a gym, a studio, whatever purpose you require, we can design and build it to your exact specification. The criteria for a room in the garden or twin unit caravan/lodge is that planning permission is not required if to be restricted to ancillary use by the house, including sleeping, BUT not cooking and eating as a separate accommodation unit – at this point planning permission would be required.

When it comes to the external finish of your lodge, you will want an exterior finish that blends in with your surroundings and satisfies the local Planning Authority. You specify the colour of timber, choose horizontal cladding, or for a more contemporary look you can opt for the vertical cladding. Or if you would like a low maintenance product, why not try a prefinished siding, see Canexel for their extensive range of colours. Choose an interior finish you would like, whether it is vertical/horizontal channel lining, with a clear varnish, or a whitewash for that Scandinavian feel, or plasterboard to paint or wallpaper. You make the choices and we will put together all your specified requirements, to give you a building that is unique and perfect for you.
