Your Family – Closer Together
You may already have a clear picture of the perfect annexe for your family. Or perhaps you simply know that circumstances are changing and you need to explore the possibilities.
Either way, you’re in the right place.
At Swift Unlimited, we design and build exceptional garden annexes around you—your family, your property, your individual needs and your plans for the future. Whether inspired by one of our previous projects or created entirely from a blank sheet, we have the experience and ability to deliver.
We are an experienced, caring team ready to listen, explain the options and create a comfortable home that is uniquely suited to the person who will live there.
Let’s start with an informal conversation.
A HELPFUL CHAT?
What could an annexe make possible?
A comfortable home for an older relative. Independent living for a younger family member. A thoughtfully designed space offering support, privacy and reassurance—or a flexible home created around changing needs.
A garden annexe can provide the best of both worlds: independent living within a private, fully equipped home, while keeping the people who matter close by.
Every family is different. We’ll help you make the most of the space available, including unusual plots, challenging access and projects requiring careful consideration of mobility, accessibility or future care.
With Swift Unlimited, “bespoke” really does mean bespoke.
Let’s discuss your garden annexe…
More than an annexe. A home for a loved one.
A garden annexe should feel like a proper home—not a temporary building or an adapted garden room.
That means thinking carefully about how it will look, feel and work:
- A layout designed around the person who will live there
- Comfortable living, sleeping, kitchen and bathroom spaces
- Glazing positioned to provide natural light, attractive views and privacy
- Materials selected to complement your home and garden
- Highly insulated construction designed for comfortable year-round living
- Heating, lighting, electrics and interior finishes tailored to individual needs
- Accessible options including wider doorways, level thresholds and wet rooms
- Practical guidance through planning and Building Regulations
- A professionally managed build with minimal disruption
The result is a substantial, beautifully finished and comfortable home, designed around today’s requirements while also considering what may be needed in the future.
A collaborative journey from first idea to final handover
Creating an annexe is an important family decision. Our role is to make the process clear, supportive and reassuring—from the first conversation and early design ideas through to planning, construction and final handover.
1. We listen
We begin by learning about your family, the person who will live in the annexe, your garden and what you would like the new home to achieve.
2. We explore
Our designers consider the layout, appearance, accessibility, practical requirements and possibilities for your site. We also explain the likely planning and Building Regulations route.
3. We refine
Your design develops collaboratively. We welcome everyone’s thoughts and help your family make informed choices without rushing important decisions.
4. We manage
Once everything is agreed, our experienced team coordinates the approvals, groundworks, construction, services and finishing—keeping you informed throughout the project.
5. You enjoy
The completed annexe is ready to become a comfortable and personal home—providing independence, privacy and the reassurance of having family close by.
