Ancillary Dwellings – commonly known as Granny Flats

In today’s world, small houses and ancillary dwellings are becoming increasingly popular for their functionality, flexibility, and space-saving potential. Whether it’s a home office, a guest house, or a separate living space for family members, these compact solutions can offer just what you need without compromising on comfort or style.
