Accessible Living: Designing a Garden Annexe for Comfort, Independence & Ease

At Mobile Annexe, we believe everyone deserves a living space that feels like home - comfortable, safe, and perfectly suited to individual needs and lifestyles. Whether you're creating a garden annexe for yourself, a family member, or a loved one who needs a bit of extra support, accessibility is key to making life easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

The best part? Every Mobile Annexe is completely customisable - so no matter your needs, mobility level, or personal style, we can design a space that fits you. Here's how we make that happen.

Step-Free Access For Effortless Entry

No one should have to struggle getting in and out of their home. Our Garden Annexes can be built with step-free entrances, gentle ramps, or level decking so movement in and out is smooth and simple.

We can also add, Low -threshold doors to make transitions easy for wheelchairs and walkers. Anti -slip surfaces for extra safety in wet weather and even Motion-sensor lighting to light up pathways after dark.

It's all about making every day that little bit easier - and a lot more comfortable.

Spacious Layouts & Wider Doorways

Accessibility doesn't have to mean clinical and boring. With wider doors and hallways, your Granny Annexe feels more open and welcoming—and there's plenty of room to move around freely with mobility aids.

Because our designs are fully flexible, we can adjust wall positions, doorway widths, and furniture layouts to suit your exact requirements, whether you need extra turning space or a completely open-plan setup.

Accessible Bathrooms You'll Love

Let's be honest, bathrooms are crucial spaces to perfect. We offer stylish, functional wet-room bathrooms tailored to your needs. You can select features like walk-in or roll-in showers with slip-resistant flooring, grab rails positioned precisely where you need them, and user-friendly taps. These elements can be carefully designed to make daily routines straightforward, safe, and comfortable.

Kitchens That Make Life Easier

Cooking and meal prep should be enjoyable, not a struggle. That's why our accessible kitchen designs focus on independence and comfort. We can include features such as lowered worktops, pull-out drawers and shelving for easy access, and plenty of space to move around. And because every garden annexe is built around you, you can choose the exact height, layout, and finishes that make the kitchen work best for your lifestyle.

Designed Around You - No Matter Your Needs

At Mobile Annexe, there's no "one size fits all" design. Every single garden annexe we build is fully customisable, from the floor plan right down to the door handles. Whether you're adapting for a wheelchair user, someone with limited mobility, or simply planning for the future, we'll work with you to make sure your annexe feels right in every way.

We are all about freedom, comfort, and individuality, creating spaces that adapt to you, not the other way around.
