Annexes
Annexes
Create your perfect retreat or a cosy permanent dwelling with an oak framed annexe, a wonderful addition that offers both versatility and independence. These annexes are ideal for family members who want to stay close while enjoying their own space and privacy.
An oak annexe goes beyond just accommodating loved ones; it can also serve as a peaceful haven for pursuing hobbies, working from home, or even starting a charming bed-and-breakfast venture. With an oak framed annexe, you have the freedom to customise the space to fit your unique needs and aspirations, allowing you to blend comfort and self-expression in your own little sanctuary.
Direct Glazing
Our direct glazing system is the ideal solution for green oak-framed annexes, designed to maximise natural light and enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space. Utilising seasoned oak cover boards to secure the glass outside the frame ensures superior protection against water ingress while allowing for the natural movements of the oak.
This method keeps the oak frame fully visible from the inside, showcasing its beauty and craftsmanship. Unlike traditional rebated glazing methods, our direct glazing offers robust reliability, ensuring maximum durability and structural integrity. The result is a bright, inviting environment that seamlessly connects your indoor space with the outdoors, creating a harmonious living area filled with natural light.
Joinery
Our bespoke joinery services offer exceptional doors and windows designed specifically for your oak annexe. We offer an extensive range of single, double, and bi-fold doors, alongside operable windows, all tailored to enhance the aesthetic and functionality of your annexe. Custom finishes, including painted options, create a striking contrast with the natural oak, ensuring your orangery boasts a unique and sophisticated charm.
Choose OakCraft for exceptional craftsmanship and bespoke solutions that enhance the beauty and utility of your oak-framed annexe.
Planning Services
Your annexe may require planning permission depending on its intended use and size. Our team will advise you if this is the case and offer our services as comprehensive planning consultants. We can draw up or expand upon existing plans for your new annex. Customisation is important, so we ensure that these options are included in the plans.
Here at Oakcraft we view obtaining planning approval as a component of our service. While certain structures may be built in accordance with Permitted Development Regulations, the great majority of our projects do need to submit a planning application. Obtaining planning permission is not always an easy task. Our Design Team at Oakcraft has a wealth of experience in application preparation and submission. Please contact our team for more information.
