Homes with Annexe for Sale

Whether you’re planning for multi-generational living, welcoming frequent guests, or looking to generate extra income, a home with an annexe offers exceptional flexibility. At DOMVS, we always have a great collection of beautiful homes with annexes for sale across Dorset and surrounding areas, each with plenty of potential.

Who Buys Homes with Annexes?

1. Families Seeking Multi-Generational Living

With rising care costs and a growing desire to live closer to loved ones, many buyers seek granny annexes, ideal for elderly parents or adult children (they’re perfect for noisy teenagers!). A private annexe provides autonomy while keeping family close.

2. Hosts Looking to Generate Airbnb Income

An annexe can be a highly lucrative income-generating asset. Many buyers are drawn to the idea of having a property with Airbnb potential or offering longer-term lets, especially in sought-after Dorset towns and rural hotspots.

3. Homeowners Needing Guest or Work-from-Home Space

Whether accommodating visitors, au pairs, or creating a dedicated workspace or studio, annexes add functional square footage without sacrificing comfort in the main house.

4. Buyers Seeking a Lifestyle, Not Just a Home

Some homeowners are looking for more than bricks and mortar – they’re seeking a property that supports a more fulfilling, flexible way of life. For these buyers, a home with an annexe may be part of a wider lifestyle property: one that offers residential comfort alongside business potential, rental income, or leisure amenities.

The Appeal of Annexes: Why Buyers Love Them

1. Flexibility and Freedom

Annexes can evolve with your needs; what starts as a home office today might be guest accommodation or a gym in the future. They’re a versatile solution to changing circumstances.

2. Increased Property Value

Homes with self-contained accommodation often carry premium appeal, offering future-proofing for resale and attractive options for a wide range of buyers.

3. Privacy With Proximity

A well-designed annexe allows for independent living while keeping everyone under one roofline (or close enough), making it perfect for blended households or family care.
