Bringing families together with multigenerational living

Over the past few years there's been a sea change in the way UK families choose to live.

Today, it’s not uncommon for families to reorganise themselves so grandparents can reside close by their children and grandchildren. And one of the most popular ways of achieving such ‘multigenerational living’ is by building a quality annexe in the garden of the family home.

It’s not hard to see why. A garden annexe gives parents or grandparents independence to live their lives to the full, whilst still close-by their loved ones. So they can help out with child care and enjoy the company of their family whenever they choose.

Our iHus customers love their independence, but they also often remark how reassured they feel knowing that their family can be on hand if needed to provide help and support.

And with the eye-watering cost of care homes, building a luxury iHus annexe is not only a truly cost-effective alternative – it’s a sound long term investment.

Annexe Planning Permission

Obtaining planning permissions from the Local Planning Authority for your annexe build is a vital part of our service – and we’re successful nine times out of ten.

Our favoured route is to pursue a householder planning application. But if this fails we can also submit a Caravan Act application, which can often gain us the permission we need to build.

annexes for all

Superb Choice

We have the perfect iHus to match your needs to perfection. You can choose from our impressive collection of luxurious one and two-bed granny annexes from as little as £106,387 – or we can create a completely customised home to your exact specifications.

All our annexes begin life at our workshops in South Yorkshire, where we also source our enviable selections of high quality fixtures and fittings.
