One bedroom garden annexe
The perfect home for mum and dad
The upfront expense of a garden living annexe may seem significant when compared to the ongoing costs of residential care, but it often pays for itself surprisingly quickly. Beyond its practicality, these annexes can significantly boost your property’s value. Recently, a family in Wiltshire faced this decision when both of their parents were diagnosed with dementia. After careful consideration, they concluded that a purpose-built garden annexe was a more appealing and financially sound option than placing their parents in a care facility.

Teaming up with Swift Unlimited, they created a stylish, modern one-bedroom home in their garden.

Additionally, the annexe was designed with future-proof features such as wheelchair accessibility to meet their parents’ changing needs.

- Large doorways and level thresholds for potential future wheelchair access

We now have the most amazing annex in our garden…
“This was a very personal project to us as we were moving my mother and father-in-law into an annex in our garden, who both suffer with dementia.Throughout our entire experience, all members of the swift team were extremely professional, kind and compassionate. Having entered into this completely naive to any of the processes, we were wholly supported throughout, and actively encouraged to make all the relevant decisions and ask any questions at any time. It was clear everyone knew what they were doing which made the whole project seamless and took the pressure off us. We now have the most amazing annex in our garden, and my mother and father-in-law are so happy and have a hugely improved quality of life being with their family.“
