The 'Granny Flat' Solution: Independent Living in Your Garden

The 'Granny Flat' Solution: Independent Living in Your Garden

With the shortage of rental properties and the high cost of care homes, many Irish families are turning to the garden log cabin as a solution for multi-generational living.

What is a Timber Granny Flat?

It is a fully functional, self-contained home built in the backyard of an existing property. It allows elderly parents (or adult children saving for a mortgage) to live independently while staying close to family support.

Why Choose Timber?

1. Speed: We can build a warm, safe 1-bedroom home in your garden in under 4 weeks.
2. Cost: A fraction of the cost of a traditional extension or nursing home fees.
3. Comfort: Level access, warm interiors, and customisable layouts.

Our Essex and Weekend models are perfect starting points for a cosy garden home.
