Care Home Costs vs Living in Your Garden
See how families are choosing to keep loved ones close — while avoiding the rising cost of care homes in the UK.
Living in Your Garden
- One-off cost: £30,000 – £70,000
- Typical monthly running costs: £150 – £300
- Stay close to family
- Maintain independence
- Fully self-contained private space
- No ongoing weekly care fees
Typical UK Care Home Costs
- £800 – £1,500 per week
- £3,200 – £6,000 per month
- £40,000+ per year
- Loss of independence
- Limited privacy
- Ongoing long-term financial commitment
In many cases, a garden annex can cost less than 1–2 years of care home fees — while allowing your loved one to stay close to home.
For many families, this isn't just about cost. It's about keeping loved ones nearby, maintaining independence, and avoiding the emotional strain of moving into a care home.

Can You Live in a Garden Annex All Year Round?
Many people ask whether a static caravan or lodge can be lived in all year round — the answer depends on the specification. Not all units are built the same, and understanding the difference is crucial when choosing the right annex for your needs.
Holiday Standard (EN1647)
- Designed for seasonal or holiday use
- Lower insulation levels
- Suitable for occasional stays
- Typically used on holiday parks
Not recommended for full-time living in UK winter conditions.
Residential Standard (BS3632)
- Built for year-round living
- Higher insulation and energy efficiency
- Designed to stay warm in winter and cool in summer
- Ideal for annex living, elderly relatives, or long-term accommodation
Recommended for permanent or long-term use.
For most annex living situations, we recommend residential specification (BS3632) to ensure comfort throughout the year.
