Garden Bedrooms
A bedroom in the garden starts with how someone will live in the space. Think about the route from the house, room to get dressed and whether a bathroom needs to be close by.
We build garden bedrooms as Granny Annexes. Sleeping accommodation needs the annexe specification and approval route, not a standard leisure room with a bed added, so tell us about the intended use and we will plan it as an annexe.
Explain who will use the room and how often. An occasional guest room and a space for a family member to live in can involve different layouts and requirements.
Include any needs that may change over time. Space beside the bed, a straightforward entrance and an accessible route through the garden are easier to consider before the building size is decided.
A garden bedroom is built within our Granny Annexes range. SIPS construction, a steel chassis, GSB foundation, selected bedroom and bathroom partitions, and a white 32A ring main with four double sockets and six spotlights are included. Kitchens and bathrooms are optional, quoted upgrades.
The final layout, services and suitability for your intended use need agreeing for your project. Noah annexes require more than 1m from the boundary, with the site and approval route checked before ordering. Garden Rooms, Signature and Pods are not built as sleeping accommodation.
Draw the bed at its full size and allow for movement around it. Include wardrobe doors, drawers and the space needed to get dressed.
If someone will spend more than the night there, consider where they will sit during the day. A small dining or sitting area can change the way the space works, but it needs to be planned alongside the bedroom rather than fitted into leftover corners.
Think about privacy too. Place windows with the view from the bed in mind, as well as daylight and the position of neighbouring homes.
Walk the route between the main house and the proposed bedroom. Consider changes in level, access through gates and how the entrance will be used after dark.
If step-free access or particular door clearances matter, explain those needs at the start. The design must be checked against the person’s requirements; do not rely on a drawing’s appearance alone.
Bring water, drainage and electrical requirements into the first conversation. Their routes can affect the position of a bathroom or kitchenette and the wider work needed at the property.
Optional kitchen and bathroom quotations include their internal plumbing. External mains water, waste and electrical connections are arranged by you or separately quoted by Noah. Your quotation confirms the agreed building, fit-out and site-work scope.
Connection of the garden room to the main property electrical supply is not included unless expressly stated within the quotation. This work can be quoted separately if required, subject to a site survey and the requirements of our electrical contractor.
Heating, ventilation and the final accommodation specification also need agreement for the intended use.
Do not assume a garden bedroom qualifies for the same planning or building-regulations exemptions as a leisure outbuilding; check the intended sleeping use with your local planning authority and building control before ordering. Our Planning Permission guide is a starting point for that conversation.

Next steps
Request a callback with the intended use, your location and any early layout ideas. We can discuss the next steps and what needs confirming before a quotation is agreed.
Common questions
No. A room someone sleeps in is built as a Granny Annexe, with the specification and approval route that sleeping accommodation needs. Insulation alone does not make a garden room suitable.
Yes. At Noah a garden bedroom is built as a Granny Annexe, whether it relies on the main house for its facilities or has its own bathroom and kitchenette as upgrades.
Yes, as an optional, separately quoted upgrade. All kitchen and bathroom layouts include internal plumbing in their upgrade quotation; external mains connections are arranged by you or separately quoted by Noah.
Tell us the specific requirements before the layout is agreed. Door openings, circulation space and the route from the house all need checking for the person who will use them.
Use a project conversation for accommodation requirements. A building estimate alone may not cover the services, site work and other elements needed for your intended use.
