Hi all,
First time posting! We are trying to secure a decent size lot in North West Sydney, Oakville to be exact, and we’ve found a 459m2 block which is the size we’ve been looking for, and at a reasonable price (is that a thing anymore?).
The issue we’re now facing though is that the block is only a 12M frontage and, apparently due to Hawkesbury council restrictions and the area/suburb not being considered part of the growth area or corridor, we are restricted to having a 4.5M wide garage.
To put this in context, we’re aiming to build a 32(ish)sqm home (5Bed 3bath) and love the design, however we’re worried about future resale potential with a relatively big home that only has a 1.5 car garage.
Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is something we should pass on? Seems everyone else is keen to move on a block like this and resign to a not-quite-double (or ‘big single’ as the builder put it) garage.
Thanks in advance!
