Hideaway Kitchen

Designed with Simplicity in Mind

A smooth build from start to finish, ready for decorating

We designed and built this annexe around the family’s needs. Caroline and David selected every finish, including the cladding, fascia and kitchen colour. Meanwhile, The Green Room managed the planning application, Building Regulations approval and full service connections.

After Building Control completed its final inspection and the electrician issued the required certification, we handed over the annexe ready for Caroline and David to decorate. We completed the entire project efficiently and supported it with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee.
