Granny flat benefits

Building a stand-alone granny flat as an add-on to your Kurmond build has many benefits:

Utilise your block of land – building another stand-alone dwelling will fully utilise your land if you’ve got a large block.
Complement your existing home’s style – if you go with a skilled granny flat builder like Kurmond Homes, you can match the style of your new granny flat with the style of your existing Kurmond home.
House multi-generation families – a granny flat is ideal accommodation for older relatives or younger ones, so several generations of your family can live separately but close, ensuring their independence.
Earn extra income – secondary dwellings can provide additional income from short or long-term rentals. You’ll also provide affordable housing in a tight rental market.
Property value increase – Adding extra accommodation to your existing property will increase its value, potentially by more than the cost to build it.
Separate home office/studio – a granny flat can also provide an ideal home office, allowing you to leave your work behind. Or it can make an excellent stand-alone creative studio.

A granny flat is a small stand-alone secondary dwelling on a property with a larger primary residence. It usually contains one or two bedrooms, a bathroom, a small kitchen, and a dining and living area. Local councils dictate the size, but it can be at most 60 square metres in NSW in most cases.
As their name suggests, granny flats are a popular housing option for ageing parents or grandparents because they allow older people to continue to live independently but have their family nearby.

Many granny flat designs are available to suit your needs, and Kurmond Homes has a granny flat display called the Carlton, conveniently located at Homeworld Box Hill. And if you don’t want a standard design, we can build custom granny flats.

You could also incorporate a granny flat within your new home by including independent, self-contained living accommodation within your primary residence. These homes are known as dual living home designs.
