Self-Contained Living Space in Your Garden

Granny Flats

Bringing a parent, adult child, or long-term guest closer without losing your own space? Modular Homes Limerick connects you with a professional local contractor for self-contained granny flats across County Limerick — a genuine independent living space, built faster and usually for less than a house extension.

A granny flat is different from a garden room: it's a small, self-contained home with its own kitchenette and bathroom, built for someone to actually live in, not just use as an office or studio. That distinction matters for planning too — a granny flat is treated differently under Irish planning rules to a simple garden room, since it's designed for full-time living.

What's Included

Self-contained living space. A proper kitchenette, a shower room, and a separate sleeping area, sized to suit one or two people living independently.

Insulated, year-round build. Full wall, roof, and floor insulation with heating, so it's a genuine home, not a glorified shed with a bed in it.

Plumbing & services. Water, waste, and electrics connected properly, not a DIY workaround.

Fast, factory-built install. Built off-site and installed on your prepared base in a fraction of the time a house extension or granny-flat conversion would take.

Planning Permission for a Granny Flat

Because a granny flat is built for full-time living, it's treated differently under Irish planning rules to a simple garden room or office, and is far less likely to qualify for a planning exemption. Getting this checked properly before committing to a design avoids a costly redesign later. Your connected contractor will talk through what's realistic for your specific garden and intended use as part of your quote.

A Few Common Questions

Can a granny flat be rented out separately?

It depends on your specific planning permission and site conditions. Your connected contractor can advise on what's realistic, but don't assume a granny flat automatically comes with separate letting rights.

What's the difference between this and a garden room?

A granny flat is a self-contained living space with its own kitchen and bathroom. A garden room is a single room without those, built for office, studio, or gym use. See Garden Rooms if that's a better fit.
