A triple garage separates the main home from the second self-contained home which offers a large bathroom, 2 spacious bedrooms with BIRs, central well-appointed kitchen, meals and family room and a separate formal lounge. Even though the second dwelling is under the main house roofline the owners cleverly designed it to provide totally independent living and privacy for their elderly retired parents. The dual living home is separately serviced with its own power, mains water, gas and telephone and is adaptable to suit a variety of personal circumstances. It is ideal for elderly parents or teenagers wishing to live privately and/or independently or could be used as a “work from home” facility. You may wish to generate an income by permanently leasing it out or, as the current owners have recently done, set it up to accommodate Airbnb guests.
