Bespoke 6.8m x 14m Two Bedroom Annexe

Completed Bespoke Two-Bedroom Residential Lodge

We completed this bespoke two-bedroom residential lodge in Gloucestershire, with external dimensions of 14m x 6.8m and an approximate overall height of 5m. The building was constructed on existing foundations and connected to the services already on site.

The layout includes two bedrooms, a lounge, hallway, utility room and cloakroom. The lodge was designed to meet Part L requirements, with the structure and internal arrangement tailored to the project rather than based on one of our standard annexe layouts.

Building the Lodge With Insulated SIP Panels

The build-stage gallery shows how the lodge took shape on site. The structure was specified with 150mm insulated SIP wall panels, 175mm insulated SIP roof panels and an insulated timber-framed floor with Caberdeck boarding.

The photographs document stages of construction before the windows, doors and external finishes were completed. The SIP panels formed the main structure of the building before the cedar cladding and roof covering were added.

Cedar Cladding, Glazing and Rooflight

The finished exterior combines Western Red Cedar cladding on the front and both side walls with British Cedar on the rear. An anthracite standing-seam roof covering completes the outside of the lodge.

The glazing specification includes double-glazed uPVC windows and doors, an additional patio door on the front and a full-height 800mm feature window to the right-hand side. A Velux rooflight was fitted to the hallway, and a decked step provides access at the entrance.

Residential Layout and Interior Specification

Inside, the lodge was specified with fully plastered, white-painted walls, standard white electrical fittings and internal downlights. Heating was included through an LPG boiler and radiators, with a boiler cupboard and separate storage cupboard.

The custom layout includes a hallway cloakroom, a glazed Dordogne-style door into the lounge and a pocket door to the utility room. Smoke detectors and a carbon monoxide alarm were included in the safety specification.

This completed project is an example of the larger bespoke residential accommodation we can provide alongside our standard garden annexes for home.

Reviews

Really, really pleased with it

Really pleased with it all and enjoy sitting and taking in the view, glass of wine in hand of course! We did new decking immediately outside of it, in order to open the bi fold doors fully as an extension to the room. All in all, really, really pleased with it.

Such excellent service!

My wife and I just wanted to thank Richard, yourself and the rest of the team for all the support, ad hoc technical tips and advice that we got whilst building our Garden Room. I know that I visited the show room 2 or 3 times and Richard and the team, even though quite busy, showed us every courtesy and help. Such excellent service! I have finally completed the build of our 3 x 5m Garden Room, and we are very pleased with it.
