Following the loss of her husband, Pauline wanted to remain independent while spending more time with the family who mean so much to her. Moving into a bespoke two-bedroom annexe in the garden of her son Andrew’s home in Woking provided the perfect solution. Now, Pauline enjoys the privacy and comfort of her own beautifully designed home, with the added joy of being surrounded by her large family every day.

“I love my annexe. The entire process was fantastic and I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.”
Pauline
A beautiful home inside and out
From the moment you arrive, Pauline’s annexe makes a lasting impression. The elegant white exterior, complemented by anthracite grey windows and doors, creates a timeless and welcoming appearance, while the pitched roof and feature gable above the double doors add character and charm. Thoughtfully positioned within the family garden, the annexe feels like a natural extension of the property, providing Pauline with a private retreat that’s just moments from the main house.

Styled with comfort and personality
Pauline has lovingly furnished every corner of her home, creating a space that reflects her personality and impeccable taste. The bright open-plan living area features a contemporary media wall, beautiful furniture and a stylish breakfast bar kitchen that’s perfect for everyday living. Two spacious bedrooms provide ample room for visiting family and guests, while the modern shower room combines practicality with luxurious finishes. The result is a home that feels warm, welcoming and unmistakably her own.
Bringing family even closer together
Family has always been at the heart of Pauline’s life, and living in the garden has allowed those bonds to grow even stronger. Although she and Andrew already enjoyed a close relationship, being just steps away has made it easier to share everyday moments, family gatherings and precious time together. Surrounded by children, grandchildren and extended family, Pauline thrives on the companionship and connection that comes with being part of a busy family environment, while still enjoying the independence of her own front door.
