Your own space, close to loved ones
Retirement should be about comfort, security, and spending time how you want – not managing stairs, traffic, or long distances from family. A custom-built granny flat in your backyard offers a peaceful, private home just a few steps away from the people who matter most.
Designed for ease and comfort
At Backyard Grannys, we’ve built countless granny flats specifically for retirement living. Whether it’s for ageing parents, downsizing, or planning ahead for your future, we design homes with your comfort and lifestyle in mind.
From single-level layouts and step-free entries to wider doorways, mobility-friendly bathrooms and thoughtful storage – our in-house architect will help you create a space that suits you now and in the years to come.
A custom build, without the stress
We know building can feel overwhelming – but it doesn’t have to be. Our experienced team takes care of everything, from the initial site inspection to approvals, design and construction. You’ll work with a dedicated team who will guide you every step of the way, with no pressure and no surprises.
Want to see what’s possible? Our Bennetts Green showroom lets you explore finishes, fixtures and design options to suit your style, while staying mindful of budget and functionality.
Peace of mind for the whole family
