Manor house
design
A design that’s as unique as you and your needs
Manor houses require unique, functional and versatile designs that accommodate extended families, tenants or co-operatives. ES Design understands the specific needs of each, and can therefore ensure that your manor house is designed according to your current and future needs.
What is a manor house design?
A manor house is a single building consisting of three or four dwellings on one lot. It can be up to two storeys in height (excluding the basement), and each dwelling must be attached by a common wall or floor/ceiling. The dwellings can be a studio or 1, 2, 3 or 4-bedroom. Each dwelling has its entrance and amenities. Manor houses fall under the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s Low Rise Housing Diversity Code. This means that it must follow the stipulations of the code (e.g. two-storey limit), but also benefits from the goal of the code which is to provide faster housing approvals.
Benefits of the manor style home
Whether you need extra income or want to plan for the future, our manor house designs could be the solution. We can design your manor house that allows you to be both an occupier and a landlord. Depending on the number of dwellings within the property, you can occupy one section of the home and rent out the others – potentially acquiring two to three income streams and repaying your home loans simultaneously.
As families expand and your needs change, you have the option to expand it into a large singular unit (or partial and maintain at least one rental unit). Alternatively, property owners with older parents can use the units as an independent living space for them. Manor style homes often benefit from quick approvals because they fall under the Low Density Housing Code. This code allows well designed manor houses to be carried out under a fast track Complying Development approval. If the proposal complies with all the relevant requirements in the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008, you can get approval in as little as 20 days.
