Granny Home – Add an Annexe to your Property
Perhaps you have a relative with whom you want to share your house and want to offer them the convenience of a self-contained annexe? Granny flats and annexes can afford a higher degree of independence for relatives than living in the main building.
The humble granny home actually belongs to a tradition that goes back more than a century, to a time when widows used carriage houses to supplement their income, couples passed the summer in them and rented out the principle house to visitors, and workers, young couples and bachelors regarded them as cost-effective places to live within easy walking distance of work.
With the trend moving away from more traditional brick and tile house construction, designers in Australia are exploring new construction methods that will take full advantage of new, innovative materials which are being introduced into the modular accommodation market.
In fact, when you think about it, the construction methods developed for modular accommodation make more and more sense, when you consider the soaring costs of on site building, the added expense of complying with OHS regulations, and the demands of ensuring new building work is environmentally friendly and sustainable.
There are several companies in Australia that offer a choice of manufactured homes to suit every taste and budget. They will offer a choice of floor-plans so you are certain to find one that is just right for your needs. They can also customise a floor plan to conform with any special needs. You also have a choice of exterior designs to select from.
So, whether you need a granny home to be added to an existing house plot, or a lakeside cabin, or a sea-side home, it is good to know there are cost-efficient solutions available.
Kit homes have many applications – they are perfect for granny flats, military accommodation, miners’ accommodation, teenagers’ retreats, lakeside cabins – anywhere where a suitable piece of land is available.
