Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 08, 2021 2:58 pm We are looking at bidding for a property in a suburb that we love. It is only about 350sqm (13m wide x 27m deep).

A lot of the other houses where we're looking are quite old and about 100sqm (tiny!). We think we'll be fine as we're indoor people. I feel my kids aren't really outdoor people.
