“Granny flat” is a term normally used to describe a unit for living in, that is on the same site as the main house. It is usually a separate building but could be physically attached to the main house. Designed for one or two persons, a granny flat is a self-contained living area usually located on the grounds of a single-family home.

It goes even further, 25% of people have 2 car garages that cannot fit a single vehicle inside, purely because they're filled with too much stuff!
