ANNEXE CONSTRUCTION
If you want to extend your home to include a self-contained building, an annexe is the perfect solution! Offering proximity and independence.
WHAT IS AN ANNEXE?
By definition, an annexe is a building associated with your main house. Most often, an annexe offers occupants independence as it provides self-contained living areas, allowing elderly relatives, independent kids or guests to live without any need to visit the main house often.
Most annexes include:
- A living room
- Bedroom
- Kitchen
- Bathroom
There are two main ways you can add an annexe to your property: through a garage conversion to annexe, or erecting a new building on your land.

GARAGE CONVERSION TO ANNEXE
It is common to convert unused garages or old detached or attached outbuildings into an annexe as long as it has adequate space for additional living space.
This is the easiest way to add an annexe to your property because it utilises space that already exists.
Planning permissions for garage conversions into an annexe can be complex as certain situations require planning permission, and others don’t.
Typically, if the work is internal and adding additional living space, you don’t need planning permission. However, if the garage is detached and the use of the space is completely changing, you are likely to need planning permission and building regulations.
The team at The Conversion Kings is able to help you work out whether you need to apply to your local council and will be with you every step of the way, providing guidance and information for the application.
Looking at converting an existing building or garage into an annexe? Call us today on 07975 718322 to discuss your space and learn more about our process.
CREATING A NEW BUILDING FOR AN ANNEXE
If you don’t have an existing space to convert into an annexe, you can construct a new building for the purpose of creating a livable space.
This can be designed to meet your needs and fit within your garden.
You will need planning permission for this construction because it is specifically designed as a habitable space.

BENEFITS OF AN ANNEXE
Adding an annexe to your property has many benefits.
Proximity To Your Property
An annexe is close to your main house, providing reassurance to you and anyone staying in the space that someone is close by.
Independence
As an annexe is a self-contained space with a bathroom and kitchen, anyone living there can maintain independence.
Increased Property Value
Additional living space to your home adds extra value, meaning when you come to sell the house, the value of the property will be higher.
Potential Rental Income
The room can be used as a rentable space on travel accommodation apps such as Air BnB, providing an additional income stream.

ANNEXE FAQS
After being refused planning permission for an extension to our house we contacted The conversion Kings as we had heard good things about them and understood that they did garage conversions. Jeff was so knowledgeable about the current building regulations and planning permissions; we were able to have our garage converted instead giving us a much bigger extension than we originally planned.
With our expanding family we decided it was time to create more space, a loft conversion wasn’t an option and we did not have enough of a budget for a full extension. We approached The Conversion Kings about a garden annexe, they designed one for us after an initial free consultation which we loved! They were able to organise all the planning and trades needed to carry out the work. We are very pleased with the finish. Many thanks to Lory and Jeff.
We were unsure about where to even start with the loft conversion that we wanted to do. I can honestly say that The Conversions Kings made it so simple for us, they organised the planning permission, put us in touch with an architect and instructed the structural engineer and building inspector. From there they helped us design the perfect loft conversion to our specific needs and then carried out the work efficiently and honestly. Thank you Jeff and Lory.
