WITH soaring property prices and high mortgage rates, granny annexes have become an attractive solution for homeowners looking to expand their living space.
Whether it’s for an elderly relative, a family member, or as an extension of your home, these self-contained units provide a cost-effective way to gain additional space while offering independence.
And they don’t skimp on luxury either.
Many annexes come with working electricity, running water, and modern interiors, with enough room for more than one space.
eBay currently has listings for these annexes at affordable prices, making it easier for those wanting a place of their own.
One seller, known as diddles95, has listed a fully functioning annexe that offers a modern living space.
This particular annexe, measuring seven metres by three metres, ensures durability, insulation, and long-term stability.
At £1,500 per square metre, the annexe includes doors, windows, insulation, electrical fittings, and an en-suite bathroom with a fully tiled floor and walls, shower cubicle, sink with a storage unit, toilet, and electric towel rail.
It also features real oak veneered engineered flooring with a 20-year guarantee.
All walls and ceilings are finished with three coats of emulsion, with primer and undercoat plus two satinwood topcoats on all woodwork.
The seller, who has 100% positive feedback, explained that the annexe is bespoke and built to meet the individual needs of the buyer.
This isn’t the only granny annexe that is catching people’s attention on eBay.
