You’ve probably heard of them, but have you ever thought ‘what exactly is a granny flat?’ and ‘why would I need one?’
Think of a granny flat as a second home, inside the grounds of your current property. It is an open space in which you can fill with any furnishings you want. They come in a huge variety of styles and designs – a granny flat collection can range from small single story spaces to huge multistory spaces.
Check out these 5 reasons why you should get a superior granny flat or garden studio:
1.Not Just For Grannies
Do not be put off by the term ‘Granny flat.’ They are named after the traditional granny annexe, but they are far from it. People now use granny flats as an extra home, home garden office, kids play area, chill out zone, garden studio, home gyms, pool house. Of course, they can still be used for a dependent, the uses are limitless. You may even find after building a granny flat for a dependent that you would rather live in your it yourself!
2. Home Value
A granny flat can be a great asset to your property. For instance, Granny Flats Melbourne are of a high enough quality and can improve the value of your property. Think of it as a building that will act as a long-term investment. An investment that you can use and does not require a lot of maintenance. You could also rent out your granny flat, which will increase your income and potentially means you can pay off your mortgage faster! If you are not to keen on the idea of renting it out, you can turn it into a room for one of your older children so that they can have their own space.
3. ‘Me Time’
Are you finding it hard to find a place in your home to have some ‘me time’? Is the only ‘me time’ you’re getting at the moment is when you are in the bathroom? A garden studio can provide you with the ultimate chill-out zone so that you can finally get that well deserved ‘me time’. You can kit your garden chill out zone with sofas, tv, kitchen, bathroom and even a bedroom so you have no reason to leave… ever! It is also a great place for your children to hang out with their friends so you do not have to listen to their late night gossip.
4. Perfect Working Environment
