eBay is selling a 2 bedroom granny annexe that fits perfectly at the back of your garden – it’s damp proof & costs £750

JUMPING onto the housing ladder isn’t the easiest of processes. You might think you’ve managed to save enough money, only to sit down with your mortgage adviser and realise you’re back at square one. This could explain why living arrangements are evolving, as people adapt to new ways of living.

In an era where families are seeking flexible, multi-generational living solutions, granny annexes are emerging as an ideal option. These self-contained spaces, either attached to or separate from the main house, provide a stylish and practical way to keep loved ones close while preserving independence.

And now, eBay is making this option more accessible than ever. Currently listed on the platform is a two-bedroom granny annexe that fits perfectly at the back of your garden. Designed with the unpredictable British weather in mind, the annexe is damp-proof and features double glazing.

Even better, it’s priced at just £750 per square metre. The eBay seller describes the building as “perfect” for those looking to create a “luxury cabin, annexe, or mobile home.”. The kit includes all the essentials to ensure your project is energy-efficient, helping to reduce energy bills in the long run.

Measuring 12 metres in length by 5 metres in width, with an internal ceiling height of approximately 2.3 to 2.4 metres, the annexe can be customised to suit your specific needs. Boasting thick insulation to minimise heat loss and designed to withstand various climates, the granny annexe combines practicality with durability.

It arrives prefabricated and ready to assemble, which significantly speeds up the construction process, and even includes a matching floor. The structure is designed to be installed on a concrete base, which is not included in the kit, although the seller offers quotes for this as an additional service.

At £750 per square metre, the total cost for this kit is £45,000, with delivery included. The tiny house movement began in the USA before gaining popularity in the UK. What is a tiny home?. Tiny houses are small, fully-equipped living spaces designed to lead a more sustainable, off-grid lifestyle. Although they vary in size and shape, tiny homes tend to be between 15 and 50 square metres in capacity, made of sustainable materials and are easier — and cheaper — to maintain than traditional brick homes.

Are tiny homes legal in the UK?. As long as the tiny house doesn't exceed 19.8m x 6.7m in size, it is defined as a caravan in UK law. Therefore, tiny houses are classed as legal additional living space. Can you get a mortgage for a tiny home?. The small size and relatively low cost of tiny houses means they’re not generally considered eligible for a mortgage. However, there are plenty of options to take out a loan to fund your dreams of the perfect, moveable home.

For those opting for a supply-and-fit service, the price rises to £67,500. The seller has received 100% positive feedback so far, with one satisfied customer commenting: “Well he did offer to meet me halfway to collect which was a nice gesture. “The great seller will use him again.

“The parcel was well packaged and he posted it very quickly.”. "Certainly a very good seller, the product arrived in good condition.”. With its affordability, practicality, and energy-saving features, this granny annexe offers a modern solution to multi-generational living, proving that adapting to changing circumstances doesn’t mean compromising on style or comfort.

Tiny homes are getting increasingly popular in the UK, especially in the cost of living crisis when first-time buyers are struggling to get on the property ladder or current homeowners are having to pay ridiculous interest rates on mortgages. But Rebecca Miller, Fabulous’ Associate Editor, has shared why living in a tiny home would be her idea of a nightmare.

“I’m currently in the process of selling my flat and buying a house, and as I pack up all my belongings, I’m worried where it is all going to go - there is so much stuff!. Fortunately, I’m very privileged to be buying a house with more square feet than my current flat.

But it got me wondering, could I ever live in a small space? And the answer is no. Living with another person immediately cuts down on personal space, but remove several rooms, and I’d be left with only the bathroom as my sanctuary. I'm not sure I'd be able to cope!.

I’m like a magpie, I like collecting pretty things, and I like my belongings to be organised. With limited storage space, I’d find it really hard to keep everything neat and tidy. One of the joys of being an independent adult is being able to host - friends, family, overnight stays, and dinner parties. Where would I gather everyone for a Sunday lunch if my table only sat two? Not to mention, how would I cook a Sunday lunch?.

Both as an individual, as part of a couple and also my hobbies, can be restricted by physical space. When I first moved into my flat, I was overjoyed at having my own balcony, and it has been a space where my love for gardening has grown. Five years on, my balcony is now overflowing with plants, and I’ve had to set up a mini propagator in the living room!.
