Granny Flats History and Design Origin
Traditionally, Granny flats were accommodation built into or near a home or dwelling and were often occupied by an older member of the family or parent that lives in the house. Common reasons for families adding a Granny Flat for their elderly parents or family included:
They provided the family member a certain amount of independence
Ensured the safety of proximity to assistance when needed
Facilitated the transition from larger and often unmanageable previous home into a more age and body appropriate living space bringing both financial savings or benefits, peace of mind, and more time and energy to craft an enjoyable lifestyle.
Similar Names
Granny flats have been known by several names, which vary by region, country, or home type. Synonymous descriptions include in-law apartment, garage apartment, carriage house and, more technically, accessory dwelling unit. They differ from guest houses and maid's quarters in that they were intended to be lived in full-time by a member of the family or similarly trusted person.
History and Features of Granny Flats
The descendant of the granny flat is the dowager house. During the latter part of the 1800s in England often when an heir of an estate was ready to inherit a home, the widow of the former home owner would often move to a smaller home on the property. This home was called a dowager house and was intended to allow the widow to continue to live on the estate she had lived on for years in order to remain close to her family, while also maintaining personal independence.

Their business folded 3/4 thru the granny flat they were building for me. Workmanship is horrible doors dont close, toilet was installed facing wrong wall! BSA cant do anything about it and they only insured the place for 40k even though the build was to cost 130k . Expensive lesson learned.
We are so disappointed and the experience was worse then timmy-gab's review. it was supposed to be a 6 week job, they have done nothing for 6 months. So many excuses. Our job ended up never commenced and they have taken all of our deposit which is more than what BSA specified for. BSA have just got back to us saying the granny flat we were about to build was outside of their building definition and they can't do anything about it!!
