Two Separate Living Areas

One of the main benefits of Design 136CLM is the inclusion of two separate living areas.

The lounge is positioned near the front entry, creating a comfortable space for relaxing, receiving visitors or enjoying a quieter television area.

The much larger rumpus room is located beside the kitchen and dining area. It provides space for family activities, entertaining, a pool table, children’s play equipment or a second television area.

Having two living spaces can make a relatively compact home more comfortable for families. Adults and children can use different areas without requiring a much larger and more expensive home.

Central Kitchen and Pantry

The kitchen is positioned near the centre of the floor plan, providing convenient access to the lounge, dining area and rumpus room.

The layout includes an island bench with seating, additional preparation space and a clear view across the main family areas.

A separate pantry provides useful storage for food, small appliances and general kitchen items.

The kitchen layout could be customised to include:

A larger island bench
Walk-in pantry
Additional overhead cabinets
Wider refrigerator space
Appliance cupboard
Dishwasher
Additional windows
Direct access to an outdoor entertaining area

Final cabinet and appliance locations can be adjusted to suit the owner’s requirements and budget.

Private Master-Bedroom Suite

Bedroom 1 is positioned at the front of the home and includes a walk-in robe and private ensuite.

The master bedroom is separated from Bedrooms 2 and 3 by the bathrooms, linen storage and central hallway. This arrangement provides additional privacy without placing the bedroom too far from the rest of the home.

The ensuite includes a shower, vanity and toilet. The room can be redesigned if a larger shower, additional storage or a more accessible layout is required.

Practical Family Bathroom

Bedrooms 2 and 3 are located together near the main bathroom.

The bathroom contains a bath, shower and vanity, while the toilet is located in a separate room. This can make the bathroom more practical for families because one person can use the toilet while another uses the bathroom.

A linen cupboard is also positioned nearby for towels, bedding and general household storage.

Separate Laundry and Single Garage

The laundry is separate from the kitchen and living spaces and is positioned beside the garage.

It includes space for a washing machine, dryer and additional storage. External access may also make it easier to reach an outdoor clothesline.

The single garage measures approximately 3.0 × 6.0 metres and provides internal access through the laundry area.

Possible garage modifications include:

Increasing the garage width
Adding storage space
Changing to a double garage
Adding a rear access door
Adding a workshop
Converting the garage into another bedroom or living space
Removing the garage for a smaller or more affordable home

Country-Style Front Verandah

The front verandah and feature windows give Design 136CLM a warm country-home appearance.

A verandah provides a sheltered entrance and creates space for outdoor seating. It can also provide shade to the front rooms and protect windows and doors from the weather.

The facade can be adapted using different materials, including:

Lightweight cladding
Weatherboards
Brickwork
Stone features
Timber posts
Rendered finishes
Colorbond roofing
Different window styles

These changes allow the design to suit a traditional country property, modern acreage home or suburban building site.

Who Could This Design Suit?

Design 136CLM could be suitable for:

Families
Couples planning for children
Downsizers wanting additional living space
Retired couples
Acreage properties
Rural homes
First-home buyers
Investment properties
Holiday accommodation
Owners wanting a compact country-style home

The relatively simple single-storey layout may also help reduce construction complexity compared with a two-storey home.

Actual building costs will depend on the site, materials, finishes, labour rates and local building requirements.
