Covering Hawarden

Homes in Clwyd
Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.
What do you get with a garden annexe?
A garden annexe is a separate single-storey building in the grounds of a house with its own bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, used by family members as part of the main household. Unlike a garden office, an annexe that people sleep in normally needs planning permission and full building regulations approval.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Foundations and drainage connections
- Kitchenette and shower room

How is a garden annexe approved in Hawarden?
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
In Wales an annexe with sleeping accommodation needs planning permission, usually with a condition tying it to the main house.
What should Hawarden homeowners check first?
- A level threshold and wider doors make the annexe suitable for later life.
- Council tax treatment depends on who lives there; check with your council.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.

- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.

Questions about a garden annexe in Hawarden
Do I need planning permission for a garden annexe?
Usually yes, because people will sleep in it. Outbuilding permitted development does not cover living accommodation.
Can you make it wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Level access, wider doors and a level-access shower can be designed in from the start.
Can you visit a house in Hawarden to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
