Over recent years, the way we view our homes has changed. Today, we no longer simply look for a beautiful or well-located property; we want a space that suits our lifestyle, allows us to enjoy the outdoors and contributes to our day-to-day wellbeing. That is why buying a ground-floor flat with a garden has become one of the most sought-after options in the new-build market.
Ground-floor flats with private gardens offer a combination that’s hard to beat: the convenience of a flat, the comfort of a detached house and your own outdoor space to enjoy all year round.
But is it really worth choosing a ground-floor flat? Who is it designed for? Below, we’ll go through the main advantages and show you some of Exxacon’s developments where you can find homes with spacious private gardens.
1. Enjoying the outdoors without leaving home
The main advantage of a ground-floor flat with a garden is obvious: having a private outdoor space that considerably increases the usable floor area of the home.
A garden becomes another room in the house. It is the perfect place to have breakfast, to read, host family and friends, or simply to relax after a day’s work.
In areas with a favourable climate such as the Costa del Sol, having a garden allows you to make the most of the outdoors for much of the year, making it one of the most frequently used spaces in the home.
2. The best choice for families with children
If you’re thinking of buying a house with a garden and you have children, a ground floor flat can make a big difference to your day-to-day life.
The little ones have a safe space where they can play, run about or ride their bikes without having to go to a park. What’s more, parents can keep an eye on them comfortably from inside the house or while enjoying the terrace.
This type of home also makes it easier to host birthday parties, family meals or afternoons of outdoor games.
3. An ideal home for pet owners
More and more people are coming to see an outdoor space for their pets as essential.
Dogs can go out several times a day without having to use the lift or walk through communal areas, and cats find a more stimulating environment provided the garden is properly landscaped.
For this reason, ground-floor flats with gardens are among the most sought-after properties for families with pets and for those looking to improve both their own quality of life and that of their four-legged companions.
4. Greater privacy and a sense of space
One of the things that most surprises visitors to a new-build ground-floor flat is the sense of spaciousness it conveys.
The seamless flow between the living room and the garden gives the home a greater sense of visual depth and brightness, particularly when it features large windows.
What’s more, a well-designed garden offers a much more intimate space in which to unwind, practise yoga, work from home outdoors from time to time, or simply enjoy a moment of tranquillity.
5. A space to create the garden you’ve always imagined
Buying a home with a garden also means having the chance to personalise a space entirely to your own taste, even on a budget.
You can create a chill-out area, set up an outdoor dining table, place sun loungers, design a small urban vegetable patch or turn part of the garden into a children’s play area.
The garden evolves with you and your family’s needs, providing added value that other types of home rarely offer.
6. Greater well-being and quality of life
Numerous studies have shown that regular contact with green spaces helps to reduce stress and improves physical and emotional wellbeing.
Having a private garden encourages healthy habits such as spending more time outdoors, exercising, enjoying meals outside or simply taking a break from the daily routine.
In short, buying a house with a garden is not just about purchasing a home, but also about investing in a better quality of life.
7. An excellent option for working from home
Although many companies have returned to working in-office, hybrid working continues to be part of the daily routine for thousands of professionals.
Having a garden allows you to change your surroundings when your tasks allow, make video calls from outside, or take breaks in a much more pleasant environment than a conventional office.
This small change has a very positive impact on concentration and wellbeing during the working day.
8. A unique selling point that remains attractive in the market
Properties with private outdoor spaces continue to be one of the most sought-after types by buyers and investors.
For this reason, a ground-floor flat with a garden tends to remain highly sought-after in the market, particularly when it is part of a high-quality development in a good location with well-equipped communal areas.
This represents added value that meets an increasingly established demand and provides a competitive advantage over other properties.
