We have Designed a New Series of Two Bedroom Granny Flat Plans – uniquely customised for Australians!
In 2012, we introduced this series of two-bedroom granny flat plans, which take into account the broad Australian climate and landscape. These 2 bedroom granny flat floor plans can be built on piers or on a new concrete slab. The unique feature of these designs is that they provide a ‘house-feel’ within a smaller Unit, which truly revolutionises the way that granny flats are built in Australia, at a time when demand is at an all-time high.

These five two-bedroom granny flat designs were featured in the original 2012 article. Its reference to completed builds described that publication period; it is not a claim that these projects were completed in the past year. See our project stories for examples of completed work.
Sydney is running out of space! New vacant land in Sydney is becoming rarer than hen’s teeth whilst at the same time, prices for new vacant land are still quite unreachable for young people. Couple that with a lack of land in the central metropolitan suburbs, increasing traffic and you have a very high demand for convenient and affordable secondary dwellings. This is true not only in Sydney, but also in some rural centres such as Wagga Wagga, Orange and parts of The Hunter to the north; and Wollongong/Kiama in the southern regions.
At Granny Flats Sydney, we have been asked to design, approve and build specifically unique granny flats which really do feel like a house, both in design and inclusions. Our two bedroom granny flats boast large bedrooms, a central combined kitchen/living/dining area and an integrated bathroom/laundry with a courtyard and separate access for the occupants.
So we’re very excited to bring these designs to you which have been tried, tested and built by Australians, for Australians. Feel free to browse our other one, two and even three bedroom granny flats RIGHT HERE and let us know what you think.
How to Compare Two-Bedroom Granny Flat Plans
- Bedroom use: check furniture placement, wardrobe space and the route to the bathroom.
- Living space: compare kitchen storage, dining space and room for the furniture you intend to use.
- Privacy and access: consider window positions, the entry route and outdoor space in relation to the main home.
- Site fit: review orientation, available building space and service locations with the design team before selecting a plan.
- Area labels: Melanie 64 m², Kenneth 65 m² and Joseph 91 m² are total areas including patios. These figures should not be read as internal living areas.
- Budget: compare the selected build options with approval costs separately, then confirm site work and exclusions in the written quotation.
Warm Regards,
