70m², 2-Bedroom Ancillary Dwelling in Thornlie
We’re currently building our new 70m², 2-bedroom ancillary dwelling in Thornlie. It is designed to show that a granny flat can be much more than a basic secondary dwelling: it can feel like a proper home.
High ceilings, oversized doors and windows and a high level of specification give the home a much more spacious feel than a typical ancillary dwelling.
Features

- 35-course ceilings
- Oversized doors and windows
- Double-glazed windows
- Solid internal doors
- Full-size kitchen
- Combined bathroom/laundry
