Ipswich Property Investment Case Study : North Ipswich

Another success story in the making for Ipswich Granny Flats, the largest builder of Granny Flat in SE Queensland…

OVERVIEW :

• Investment property purchased October 2014
• 407m2 block, gentle undulation away from the road and to the left hand side of the property
• Purchase price – $90,000
• 2014 Unimproved Capital Value (UCV) of the land $116,000

There was an existing dwelling on the property with very little structural integrity. Existing stumps were on a 20% lean, no stumps at all at the rear of house – and termites having an absolute feast right through out the whole building. Check out the photos of the property on purchase. The house currently sits 1.5 metres from the front boundary.

So what could be done with the site? What would be it’s best and highest use? The block is an unusual shape: 16.596m frontage, 25m left hand side boundary, 34.66m right hand side boundary and rear boundary of 13.599m.

Design : A site specific 50m2, one bed granny flat was designed, with full passive solar orientation and 2 large decks under roofline at the back of the building.   This overlooks the landscaped backyard – a lovely place to sit first thing in the morning with a cuppa to start the day.

One of the site requirements required adherence to the Character Overlay, resulting in a replica workers cottage look.

And a great result was achieved !
