1-Bedroom Granny Flats Ireland

A one-bedroom granny flat is the ideal solution for one or two people who want the independence and dignity of their own living space while remaining close to family on the same property. At pineca.ie, our one-bedroom granny flat range provides everything needed for comfortable, self-contained daily life – a dedicated bedroom, an open-plan kitchen and living area, and a bathroom – in compact, well-designed timber structures that suit Irish gardens of all sizes. All models are available with full insulation for year-round residential comfort in Ireland's climate.

Who chooses a one-bedroom granny flat?

One-bedroom granny flats are chosen by Irish families in a wide variety of situations. The most common is providing a comfortable, independent home for one or two elderly parents on the family property – keeping them within easy reach while respecting their privacy and autonomy. But one-bedroom granny flats are equally popular as accommodation for an adult child saving for their own home, as a self-contained guest suite for family visiting from abroad, or as a rental unit for additional income. Whatever the intended use, the appeal is the same: a complete, private living space right in your own garden.

Compact one-bedroom flats

Our granny flat models (ANGELA M at 50 m² in 44 mm + cladding insulated construction) are the most popular one-bedroom options, offering generous living space in a contemporary cladded structure with modern aesthetics. These mobile-home-classified units provide a complete one-bedroom home with a living room, kitchen area, and bathroom in a package that may not require planning permission in many Irish situations when placed as additional accommodation to an existing dwelling.

One-bedroom garden lodges

For a more substantial and permanent one-bedroom granny flat, our garden lodge range includes models from approximately 32 m² upwards with classic timber construction in 44 mm or 66 mm walls. The AMELIA (32 m² + 20 m² terrace) and ARGO M (35 m²) are particularly popular one-bedroom options, offering comfortable residential quality in a naturally beautiful timber structure. Fully insulated versions are available for all models.

Insulation for year-round living

A one-bedroom granny flat intended for permanent or regular residential use in Ireland must be properly insulated. Without adequate insulation, the building will be cold from October to April and expensive to heat. Our insulated one-bedroom models use 44 mm + cladding with rock wool, twin-skin 44+44 mm, or high-quality insulation high-performance insulation as standard in the residential-grade models.

What is included in a one-bedroom granny flat kit?

Where insulation is included, all insulation materials are part of the kit. Professional installation and delivery throughout Ireland are available as additions to your order.

Is a one-bedroom granny flat large enough for two people?

A well-designed one-bedroom granny flat of 35–50 m² can comfortably accommodate two people who are partners or a parent and child. The open-plan living and kitchen area provides the main shared space, while the bedroom provides a private sleeping area. For two people who need separate sleeping spaces, a two-bedroom model is the better choice. Our team can help you assess the right size for your specific situation – call us at +353 1 699 4541.
