The Oxley 22 is a design that would comfortably fit an average family that is not nonplussed about formal rooms and an excess of space to furnish.
This design packs in everything you need, with three bedrooms and a study at your disposal plus the obligatory open kitchen and living areas, but nothing you don’t.
With a starting price of just over $160,000 it makes a practical and financial argument for itself.
The 22sq (204.75sq m) is the smallest in the range (a 24sq and 26sq variation is also available), and with a width of just 11.39m it could slot nicely into smaller suburban or inner city blocks with a minimum 13.5m frontage.
With three facades to choose from, the Oxley 22 is on display with the Nova facade at Willowdale.
The welcoming facade of Oxley 22 at Willowdale is just the beginning, with the entry leading into a large family room. First impressions are important, and at over 4m x 5m this a welcoming room that immediately gives the home a feeling of light and space.
The open plan kitchen and dining room directly follow, creating an L-shape of open plan space, again adding to the largesse of this single-storey design.
On-trend, the kitchen is symmetrical is design with the elongated breakfast bar facing the cook top and oven with cupboards either side.
The dining room is conveniently positioned opposite the kitchen, with double stacker doors sliding open to the alfresco, which is included in the base price.
There are three bedrooms in the Oxley 22, but the sizeable study at the fore of the design could easily convert into a fourth bedroom.
To the left of the entry, this room is the most private of the design, and would suit older children, guests or could be used as in-law accommodation.
Bedroom two and three are fitted with built-in robes and are well-positioned near the main bathroom of the home.
This bathroom has been designed to accommodate a family with a shower, bathtub and double sink basins.
The master bedroom is suitably large with a walk-in robe.
The ensuite features a shower and plenty of extra storage space.

Their block isn’t registered yet but Vikram Jai and Deepti Eyunni have been to HomeWorld three times and are currently making a shortlist of builders.
“We’re looking for a single-storey house with four bedrooms. I’d like a separate home theatre area,” Vikram says.
His wife Deepti has some must-haves as well: “I’d like a big kitchen with a walk-in pantry. Also, open plan living and a nice master bedroom with a walk-in robe.”
The couple’s block is at Schofields.
“We can’t start building until early next year. It should be a January start,” Vikram says.
