The Middleton’s collectively decided that multi-generational living would benefit them all, staying close by without losing independence. Their mother enjoys her beloved annexe and own space with peace of mind, knowing her daughter and son-in-law are a stone’s throw away. Open to visits, the family are happy to show around visitors to give an inside look at how a bespoke annexe can come to life.

“From day one, I fell in love with the place. And years later, I love it even more! I’m very happy here.”

Proof that multi-generational living works
Hear from the Middleton family about how their garden annexe allows mum to be close to the family but maintain her independence.
Strength in knowing support is close by
For the Middletons, the annexe has brought a sense of reassurance that’s hard to put into words. After facing challenges on her own, Mum now feels stronger simply knowing her daughter is close at hand whenever she needs a little extra help. The short walk between their doors offers comfort and a safety net that allows her to relax, settle and feel truly supported in her day‑to‑day life.
Falling in love with her new home
What began as a practical solution has become a place the family wholeheartedly adores. Mum has fallen in love with her annexe and the independence it gives her. After years of living elsewhere, having a space designed around her needs is perfect for her. It’s her own private retreat, filled with joy and familiarity, where she can live life on her own terms while staying close to the people she loves.
