Timber Frame Granny Annexes & Granny Pods by Vision Development

Many ‘garden studio’ or flat-pack kit-style garden studios fall short on comfort, insulation, and long-term durability…

If you’re exploring options for a granny annexe or granny pod, you may have already seen plenty of “garden studio” or flat-pack kit-style products. While these might look appealing at first glance, they often fall short when it comes to comfort, insulation, and long-term durability.

At Vision Development, we take a different approach. Our timber frame systems are designed and built to full residential standards — meaning your annexe or pod isn’t just a temporary structure, but a high-quality home designed to last.

Why Choose Vision Development for Your Granny Annexe or Granny Pod?

  • Built to Residential Standards
    Unlike many off-the-shelf kits, every Vision Development timber frame annexe is insulated to the same standards as a traditional home. This ensures year-round comfort, excellent thermal performance, and reduced energy bills.
  • Superior Quality and Longevity
    Our timber frame structures are engineered for strength, stability, and longevity. A Vision Development granny annexe is not just an extension of your home, but a secure investment that stands the test of time.
  • More Than a Garden Studio
    Many “granny pods” on the market are little more than glorified sheds. Vision Development goes far beyond this—our annexes are fully compliant with building regulations and can be customised to suit your exact needs.
  • Customisable Designs
    Whether you’re looking for a compact pod for independent living or a larger annexe with multiple rooms, our team will work with you to create the perfect fit for your project with our fully customisable designs.
  • Sustainable & Energy Efficient
    Timber frame construction is naturally sustainable, with excellent energy performance. Our systems are designed with the environment in mind, reducing your carbon footprint while keeping your home warm and efficient.

What Is a Granny Annexe?

A granny annexe (sometimes called a granny pod) is a self-contained living space built within the grounds of your property. Traditionally designed for elderly relatives, annexes are increasingly popular for:

  • Independent living for older family members
  • Guest accommodation
  • Home offices or studios
  • Future-proofing for downsizing or retirement

With a Vision Development timber frame annexe, you get the benefits of a flexible, self-contained home without sacrificing comfort or quality.
