The Lady in the Lodge – Garden Annexe in Cheshire

Building type: Annexes
Project price: £44,000
Completion date: 2016

Val Dawson has become known as ‘The Lady in the Lodge’ after building a garden annexe in her families garden.

Recently interviewed on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, this is what our Lady in the Lodge had to say to us about her new home. You can listen to the interview here and read an article in the Telegraph here.

Why did you want to develop a garden room?

Having heard from a neighbour in a similar situation to myself, my family offered their back garden for me to have a residential lodge built.

What made The Garden Escape stand out from the other providers?

We had seen an example of the type of work they provided and were impressed with the solid construction, finish, adaptability and simple lines.

What are the biggest benefits you’ve noticed, both for you and your family?

Whilst feeling considerably less vulnerable, I am totally independent with my own entrance. The whole family are enjoying having me close at hand to help occasionally with grandchildren, gardening and shopping when necessary.

How did you find working with TG Escapes overall?

My family were more involved during the build but I found the team extremely friendly, hard- working, efficient and ready to answer silly questions.
