5 Varieties of Granny Flats You Can Choose From

The sky’s the limit when it comes to designing granny flats. If you have an adequate budget, you use all your creative acumen to ensure your granny flat is as comfortable, innovative and awe-striking as it can be. However, when things come down to the variety of granny flats, there are predominantly five, to choose from. So here on this page, we discuss the 5 types of granny flats that you can choose from.

The Detached Variety

The very name of this variety of granny flat is pretty self-explanatory. It is a standalone secondary structure, which is erected on a block that has already got the main building standing beforehand. A detached granny flat turns out to be the perfect investment, as it ideally comes up with an entirely separate entryway, away from that of your main property. Often, a fence is put up between the granny flat and your main building to maintain privacy. One good thing about this granny flat is that if you are looking forward to renting your granny flat, you must tell your granny flat builders in Adelaide or elsewhere to build this variety.

The Attached Variety

Again, the name explains the form of this particular type of granny flat. It is structurally joined with the main building, and designed and developed to gel seamlessly with your main building. Now, this type of granny flat can come with a common entryway as well as a separate entryway it is possible to alter the orientation of this granny flat to maximise privacy or minimise it and enhance the interaction with the occupants of the main building.

Granny Flat with Garage

This a larger version of the granny flat that comes with a garage. Well, the State Environment Planning Policy (SEPP) allows you to build an internal living space of 60m2 in a granny flat. A garage, on the other hand, is viewed as a non-habitable space. Thus, a granny flat can be built with a garage as it is not considered a habitable area.

Two Storey Granny Flat

Understandably, this variety of granny flat comes with two stories. These granny flats may come in a wide range of getups. However, just like their single-storied granny flats, the enclosed habitable area has to be restricted to 60 m2 as per the norms. But then, you have the provision of including two garages to your double-storey granny flat.

Detached Studio

A detached studio is another type of habitable building, which can be used for various alternative purposes. You can use it as your home office, an entertainment area for your family, and kids, an art studio or as a guest room. Just let your new home builders in Adelaide know about your needs, and they will do the needful. Structurally, a detached studio is viewed as an extension of your primary building, though functionally it is separate.

Thus, you see, you have so many options to choose from, when it comes to designing a granny flat at your dwelling. No matter what variety you opt for, you must ensure you hire the best builders, so that the construction is flawless.
