Garden Annexe - Richmond Upon Thames
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Our latest build is a practical garden annexe, perfectly sized self-contained accommodation to suit one person, with an external size of 6m x 4m.
The building has a spacious lounge/bedroom area, kitchenette with combi oven, hob, sink, space for a washing machine, fridge and a generous size shower room.
This annexe includes plenty of power sockets, smoke alarm, under sink water heater, cat6 data connection and LED down lights.
The roof was finished with a mixed blanket sedum roof, this attractive element in garden design blends the garden room into the landscape more naturally, a sedum roof has many benefits : greater thermal performance, absorbs rainwater, provides a lovely habitat for wildlife, removes carbon dioxide from the air, filtering pollutants including heavy materials from rainwater.
Planning permission and Building Control were obtained on this building, any garden room containing sleeping accommodation requires planning permission and building control, we organise both on our clients behalf, for a full Turnkey solution.
A large amount of trenching for the pumping station, water supply and foul connections were required for this project – see photos.
Note: photos are pre-landscaping.
This type of garden annexe is perfect for people who would love their own independence ie. a student, elderly parents or young adults struggling to get onto the property ladder.
ALL OUR BESPOKE GARDEN ROOMS ARE TURNKEY PROJECTS, WE PROVIDE EVERYTHING FROM SITE CLEARANCE, ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TRENCHING FOR SERVICE CONNECTIONS AND FOUNDATIONS, THEN HAND OVER THE KEYS TO THE CLIENT
“My father who the room was for, my husband and I felt that Alison and Ben came across as being the most professional of the three companies we approached. They also really listened to what we wanted and were honest about what could be delivered in the budget we had.
My husband and I wanted to provide an extra room at the end of our garden for my father. From the beginning Alison and Ben were honest, reliable and completely professional in their approach to this project. The build went ahead smoothly and we were so impressed with how hard Ben and Paul worked each day. They also kept the site so tidy and returned it to such a good state after the build. My father is just so happy with his accommodation and remarks almost daily how warm it is and how it was built to such a high standard. We would absolutely recommend EGR to anyone who wants some extra space.”
