Independent L-Shaped Annexe for Modern Living - Brentwood, Essex

Hawksbeck Annexes has created a bespoke 50sqm L-shaped Heritage annexe in Brentwood, designed to provide a stylish, functional, and comfortable living space. With a bedroom, office, shower room, and open-plan kitchen-living area, this annexe demonstrates how thoughtful design can combine independent living, work, and relaxation in a single, cohesive structure. uPVC French doors with sidelights ensure the annexe is filled with natural light and maintains a strong connection to the garden.

Inviting Kitchen and Living Area

The heart of the annexe is its open-plan kitchen and living area, designed to feel both sociable and practical. Exposed beams overhead add a sense of character and charm, complementing the contemporary finishes.

The kitchen is painted in a soft light green hue, creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere. A compact bar island provides a perfect spot for breakfast, coffee, or casual conversation, while a pendant light above the island helps define the space.

The adjacent living area offers a comfortable, sociable layout with two cream sofas facing each other across a wooden coffee table.

A colourful patterned rug anchors the space and adds vibrancy, while a wooden bookshelf behind mirrors the coffee table, providing balance and practical storage. A wall-mounted TV ensures the space functions for both entertainment and everyday living.

Comfortable and Practical Bedroom

The bedroom continues the thoughtful design approach, featuring light pink walls that create a calming, restful environment. The space is furnished with a wooden bed and a white chest of drawers, while a large window ensures plenty of natural light enters the room. Exposed beams add architectural interest and continuity with the rest of the annexe.

In one corner, a small office area has been incorporated, complete with a desk and computer. This dual-purpose setup allows the bedroom to function as both a personal retreat and a productive workspace without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.

Contemporary Ensuite Shower Room

The ensuite shower room introduces a modern contrast to the soft colours of the bedroom.

A dark grey and matte black feature scheme is complemented by cream and beige tiles on the lower half of the walls and soft grey paint above, resulting in a sleek, stylish, and low-maintenance space that balances elegance and practicality.

Dedicated Office Space

The annexe also includes a separate office designed for focus and productivity. Beige walls with pops of blue and yellow bring energy and personality to the space. A blue sofa with yellow cushions and throw sits on a yellow, blue, and grey patterned rug, creating a comfortable area for relaxation.

The wooden desk with computer chair and full setup sits by the window for natural light, while a grey bookshelf provides practical storage and helps keep the space organised. Exposed beams continue in this room, reinforcing a cohesive, characterful design.
