How often have you sat there and considered downsizing but lack the inspiration for a bespoke Granny Annexe? It may be that you want to downsize but you really don’t want to move into sheltered accommodation or to give up your independence in any way, yet you realise that your current living arrangements are probably going to have to change.
And if they did change, would ultimately make your life a whole lot easier! Less maintenance, less cleaning, lower bills and more free time to spend with the grandkids. Sounds ideal right?
So, what do you do?
You still want to retain your independence; you have style and flair that you really don’t want to compromise, and you have a secret penchant for Grand Designs that you’ve never told the kids about..
(Who just happen to have the space in their garden to fit a cute granny annexe that would be perfect for you to see out your twilight years!).
Well maybe here at iHus we have the answer to your prayers, and we can offer you all the inspiration for a Granny Annexe that you’ve been craving.
Want to find out more? Read on!
Where to Begin When Planning a Bespoke Granny Annexe
The first thing to consider is to have a look at our Custom Design and Build Brochure which is packed full of inspirational ideas to get you started.
Then you need to consider how many bedrooms you require. Our gorgeous granny annexe designs can be either one or two bedrooms, depending on whether you want the grandkids to come and stay of course!
And you can plan your kitchen and bathroom to suit your individual tastes too.
In fact, the beauty about a bespoke granny annexe is that it really does emulate a self-build home, just on a smaller, more manageable scale!
We can draw up plans to build your new home in the most unusual garden spaces, and don’t worry about the planning permission, we will take care of all of that for you through our in-house planning specialist team, who will work with the relevant authorities to make sure your dreams become a reality!
And of course, the expert design consultation team here at iHus will take great care to go through all of the plans that you decide on to ensure it’s a space that works on the inside as well as the out.
Planning your Kitchen for a Granny Annexe
Whether you are culinary creative whizz, or you really hate even cooking an omelette, having a kitchen space that works is an important factor to consider when looking for inspiration for your Granny Annexe.
The golden rule when planning any kitchen space is to remember the work-space triangle; it’s the most simple and effective way to ensure the best efficiency, and guarantee well-organised traffic flow.
We can advise on how to maximise the space you have so that it works only to your advantage, and we can discuss the colours and finish to work surfaces and cupboards so that the finished product is unique to you!
Bedrooms and Bathrooms for your Granny Annexe
Here you can really let your creative ideas flow so that you get that bedroom and bathroom look you have always dreamed about. Whether you want one or two bedrooms depends entirely on your own personal needs and requirements, and a beautiful bathroom to complement the look will soon become a reality with the iHus Custom Design and Build Service.
We can advise on the best lighting, most efficient heating systems and the installation of the main utilities such as gas, water and electricity.
And if you are looking for eco-friendly options, we can help with that too.
In fact, once you start the ball rolling, you will seriously be asking why you didn’t do this sooner!
Working with Unusual Garden Spaces
So, you’ve got loads of ideas for the contemporary interior you’ve always dreamed about, but you are still not convinced you have the space to custom design and build your own granny annexe?
Don’t worry, our technical team have worked with all sorts of different spaces and can introduce clever space saving ideas that will ensure your dream retirement home can become a reality sooner than you think.
And if you take a look at some of our recent projects, you will be excited by the prospect of sun terraces, hot tubes and beautifully designed compact homes with flexibility in their design and at prices you can afford.
