After spending time living in a nursing home, Joe’s family knew he needed something more personal, more connected, and closer to home. His move into a garden annexe beside his son and daughter‑in‑law marked a positive turning point. Now settled into a home of his own, surrounded by family and grandchildren, Joe has regained his independence with the comfort and reassurance of loved ones just a few steps away.

“I knew it would be challenging building a home for Joe, but iHus stepped in and helped us design and then build the entire annexe. They were very good and really professional – I would score them 100/100.”
Carol Dos Anjos
A annexe decision shaped by care and connection
Joe’s annexe was created with one clear purpose: to support his wellbeing while keeping him close to family life. Although living in a care setting gave structure when it was needed, his family recognised that Joe would thrive best in a familiar, loving environment. Building an annexe in the garden allowed him to have his own front door and routine, while being surrounded by people who know and love him. It’s a decision rooted entirely in care, compassion and the desire to give Joe the very best quality of life.
A home with breathtaking views of the Calder Valley
Set in the heart of Luddenden, Joe’s annexe enjoys sweeping views across rolling fields and open countryside. Large doors and windows frame the landscape, allowing natural light and ever‑changing scenery to become part of everyday life. Whether sitting outside or enjoying the view from indoors, the setting brings a sense of calm and connection to nature – a peaceful backdrop that makes the annexe feel special and uplifting.
Designed with Joe’s passions in mind
Inside, the annexe is thoughtfully laid out to suit Joe’s lifestyle, with a well‑designed kitchen and open living space that encourage creativity and connection. Cooking has always been one of Joe’s passions, and he now enjoys preparing a wide variety of dishes, including flavours inspired by Portuguese cuisine. The open‑plan layout makes it easy to have his family over and feel part of everyday life, all within a space that feels warm, practical and truly his own.
