Bespoke Garden Annexes Designed Around Real Living
A garden annexe should feel like a proper living space – not an upgraded outbuilding. At KF Crafts, we specialise in fully bespoke garden annexes in Lewisham and South East London, carefully designed for comfort, privacy, and long-term use.
Every project starts with a detailed consultation to understand who the annexe is for, how it will be used, and how it needs to function both now and in the future. We then design and build a space that integrates seamlessly with your garden and main property.
We do not offer fixed layouts or standard designs. Every annexe is tailored to your requirements, whether that means step-free access, private entrances, storage solutions, or adaptable layouts that can change over time.

- Intended residential use
- Local planning policies and property restrictions
We provide clear guidance from the outset and can support you through the planning process where required. For official guidance, see gov.uk planning advice for outbuildings.
