What is a Coach House?
A coach house is a separate, fully equipped living space that offers multiple possibilities for your property. This unit can generate consistent income through rentals or as a private home for aging parents or adult children, allowing family connections while maintaining privacy. Consider a retreat for personal use, a home office, or a creative studio. A coach house increases your property’s market value and provides a valuable asset without the need to move from your neighbourhood. Expand your living space and maximize your property’s potential to meet your needs.
