Wheatlands Road – Annex

Stephen and Diane, long‑time clients of ours, approached us with a deeply meaningful project: creating a self‑contained annex at their detached home to provide comfortable, safe, and fully accessible living accommodation for Diane’s parents.

The brief was clear — the annex and surrounding garden needed to be completely wheelchair friendly, with thoughtful design choices and handrails positioned wherever needed to support day‑to‑day independence.

What We Delivered

Construction of a new annex designed specifically for accessibility and ease of movement

Level thresholds and smooth transitions throughout the interior and exterior spaces

Wheelchair‑friendly garden layout, including widened paths and safe turning areas

Installation of handrails and support features in key locations

Close collaboration with Stephen, Diane, and her parents to ensure every detail suited their needs

High‑quality finishes throughout, creating a warm, comfortable living space that feels part of the home

The Result

This was a genuinely rewarding project to work on. Together with the family, we created an annex and garden that not only meets practical accessibility requirements but also provides a welcoming, dignified, and beautifully finished home environment. The space is tailored to Diane’s parents’ needs, giving them independence while keeping them close to family

Client Testimonial

Stephen & Diane

“We’ve trusted Rockwood with our home for many years, so when it came to building an annex for Diane’s parents, we knew we were in safe hands. The team listened carefully to what was needed and created a space that is truly tailored to them — fully wheelchair friendly, easy to move around, and finished to a really high standard.

The garden and access areas have been transformed too, with thoughtful details and handrails exactly where they’re needed. It’s given Diane’s parents independence, comfort, and a beautiful place to call home.

As always, the workmanship, communication, and professionalism were excellent. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”
