The popularity of the one and a half storey design is experiencing renewed interest. Ground level living with ready access to the out of doors plus excellent separation between the livings and sleeping areas, has great appeal.
In a true one and a half storey home, the second floor rooms are tucked within the steeply pitched roof line. However, modern versions are often designed as a full two storey at the rear, providing additional space for extra and larger rooms. Further living space may also be gained if your property is suitable for a full basement.
