Luxury Garden Annexe - Theydon Bois, Essex

One of our recent projects involved building a luxury garden annexe, designed as a fully functioning and modern guest space for our client’s family returning home from university.

The goal for this annexe was to build a self-contained unit that offered independence while remaining closely connected to the main home.

Design and Layout

The annexe was built in an L-shape, making the most of an unused corner in the garden.

This layout not only makes the structure feel naturally integrated into the outdoor space but also allows for a compact patio area without intruding on the rest of the garden.

This efficient use of space is one of the great advantages of our L-shaped designs, as it enables a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor areas while maintaining a sense of openness.

The sheltered inner corner also provides a private, wind-protected area for outdoor seating or dining.

Cedar cladding was chosen by the clients to give the annexe a warm and natural look, which blends beautifully with the surrounding greenery and trees.

Over time, the cedar will age gracefully, adding character and charm to the building’s appearance.

The natural materials not only enhance the visual appeal but also contribute to the sustainability of the build, making it an environmentally conscious choice.

Living and Kitchen Space

The heart of the annexe is a light and open-plan kitchen lounge area. The fully fitted kitchen includes a breakfast bar, ideal for both everyday use and entertaining guests.

A cosy lounge is set within the same open space, creating a relaxed and homely environment.

The large bifold doors fill one wall, flooding the room with natural light and providing seamless access to the outdoor patio, creating a perfect connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Bedrooms and Flexibility

This is a two bedroom garden annexe, one of which is a master bedroom with a large window that looks out onto surrounding trees and bushes.

The window is carefully positioned to allow natural light while maintaining privacy, offering peaceful views.

The second bedroom is currently set up as a minimalist office space but is versatile enough to be used as storage or a secondary living area, depending on future needs.

Stylish Bathroom Features

The bathroom in this annexe was designed to combine practicality with subtle luxury.

It includes both a walk-in shower and a separate bath, providing options for relaxation or convenience.

A high-set window offers both ventilation and privacy. A standout feature in the bathroom is the marble sink unit, which adds an elegant touch to the space, enhanced by black fittings and detailing that lend a modern contrast.
