With house prices and rents still climbing across Ireland, more families are choosing to live closer together. A timber granny flat in the garden offers independence for older parents or adult children — without the cost of buying a second property.
Why Timber Works for Granny Flats
- Affordable: A fraction of the cost of a masonry extension, with predictable fixed pricing.
- Fast: Prefabricated panels mean weeks on site, not months — far less disruption for the household.
- Warm: Our insulated wall systems keep interiors comfortable through damp Irish winters. Read how in our thermal performance guide.
- Accessible: Single-level layouts with step-free entrances suit mobility needs perfectly.
Popular Layouts
Our 1-bedroom cottages are the most requested granny flat option: a bedroom, bathroom, and open-plan kitchen-living area in a compact footprint. For couples, the extra space of a 2-bedroom home adds room for hobbies or visiting grandchildren.
Planning Considerations
A self-contained dwelling in your garden requires planning permission in Ireland, and councils generally look favourably on family accommodation. We support you through the application with drawings and specifications — get in touch to discuss your family's needs.
