With a luxury granny annexe from Joal Leisure, you can add valuable rooms quickly and affordably, without the expense of a conventional extension. Built to domestic specifications with regard to heating, double-glazing and insulation, a timber lodge for extending the family home is a practical and economical alternative to a brick built extension.

There are many reasons why a timber lodge to provide extended family accommodation within your own grounds is a sensible solution to a housing need. Perhaps you have teenagers who would appreciate a bit of independence whilst staying in the heart of the family, or you may need extra room for hobbies or home working.

Case History: Lydia and James

Jake, our eldest, plays the drums. The boys used to share a bedroom, but they outgrew it. For a while, Jake was happy in the attic, but when he started a part-time job in a sports centre, he was getting back quite late on most nights. The noise was a problem. It sounded as if an elephant was walking about on our bedroom ceiling.

Finding Joal Granny Annex and choosing a log cabin was a godsend. Jake is now happily ensconced in his own place, at the end of our garden. The lodge even has a spare room for his friends to stop over if they wish. An added benefit is that Jake has started cooking for himself. Not a lot, but enough to give him experience when he starts university. Then I may take over one of the rooms as an art room for my painting.
