They say size doesn’t matter, and when it comes to clever building design, it shouldn’t. Compact enough to fit on a small block, the Crawford 218 may be small, but it is mighty. The four-bedroom single-storey family home delivers everything a young family may need thanks to its clever use of space and flexible floorplan.

At a quick glance, it’s clear to see the design has kept the busy family areas of the home to one side while the sleeping quarters are contained to the other, creating a simple but effective buffer of privacy for the bedrooms.

The main bedroom suite has a walk-in robe and a full ensuite and the remaining bedrooms all have built-in robes.

The open-plan living areas are kept separate from the bedrooms, creating a natural buffer for privacy in a small space.

Storage elsewhere has not been sacrificed for space, with a linen cupboard located outside the laundry and a large pantry
in the kitchen.

Like most good floorplans, the galley-style kitchen flows out on to the open-plan family room and dining area, creating a large hub for the family to gather together.

An alfresco room, which comes as standard in the base price, allows for an additional living space off the main family room.
