An oak framed annexe offers a versatile and elegant solution to expand your living space. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a functional workspace, or an additional dwelling, OakCraft’s bespoke designs provide the perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern functionality. Here are six innovative ways to utilise an oak framed annexe:
- Home Office or Creative Studio
In today’s remote working era, having a dedicated workspace at home is invaluable. An oak framed annexe can serve as a serene garden office, offering a natural environment that promotes productivity. The ample natural light and exposed oak beams create an inspiring atmosphere, ideal for artists, writers, or anyone needing a quiet place to focus.
- Luxury Guest Accommodation
Transform your annexe into a luxurious guest suite, providing visitors with a comfortable and private space. With bespoke design options, you can include a bedroom, bathroom, and living area, ensuring guests feel right at home.
- Multigenerational Living Space
An oak framed annexe is an ideal solution for accommodating family members who desire proximity with independence. Equipped with kitchen facilities, bathrooms, and separate entrances, these annexes offer a harmonious blend of closeness and privacy for older relatives or grown-up children.


- Wellness Retreat or Home Gym
Create a personal wellness sanctuary by converting your annexe into a spa or gym. Oak’s natural insulating properties, combined with OakCraft’s expertise in maximising light and airflow, provide a calming space for yoga, meditation, or fitness routines.
- Children’s Playroom or Teen Hangout
Design a dedicated area for children or teenagers to relax and play. The durability of oak ensures a safe and long-lasting structure, while bespoke designs can incorporate features like seating areas, gaming stations, or outdoor terraces, giving kids their own space while maintaining order in the main house
- Rental Opportunity or Airbnb Potential
Capitalise on your annexe by turning it into a revenue-generating rental property. Whether for long-term tenants or short-term holiday lets, the timeless appeal of oak-framed architecture combined with modern amenities makes it an attractive option for guests.
