Hi oklouise, In the shorter term, I was going to live in the granny flat and rent out the main house to people I know or 2-3 international uni students. In the longer term, I would like to have it as a lowset living option for my mum who is in her late 70's. Somewhere, low maintenance, where she can keep her independence (as would I), but has me close by to provide her assistance where required. The original house has 3 bedrooms (the 3rd one is only 3.1 x 2.65m with no built in wardrobe. The back of the property backs onto a council park. The house is set back further from the front than all of the neighbouring properties (greater than 7 metres). The area under the current house would just be used for carparking and storage. The remaining length of my backyard from my back steps is 18.6 metres. I don't think it would necessary add value to my property, but rather provide me with an income as well as options for family or friends that need the accommodation. I hope to keep the house for the long term.

Love it! Can’t make it to awards or to tour house but I would love to see more photos if you were able to share.

Excellent Granny Flat! It really ads value to the home. I am currently staying in one in the Gold Coast and love it. I would def book this one...so modern!

Just a general comment these nooks always look so inviting, in practice however they often arenit well utilised. Most built in seating is difficult to access requiring a shuffle along action to get into them. Not the best for the elderly. In the first pic the table is hard up against the bench seat. Indicating that there isn't enough room for the table to be sited a reasonable distance from the bench. It's a case of cramming too much into a small space. The second pic has the most usable option as the bench is accessible from one side of the table but still requires a shuffle along to put two people there. The third pic, think about this arrangement with five people sitting there. At lease one person is pinned in by their neighbours, unable to leave the table without disturbing the whole party. Since this is a granny flat with potentially a couple living in it long term are these arrangements really useful or necessary in that context. Or would that same space be just as good with a small table and two independent chairs?
