Six of the 46 home designs we can build are drawn for a 7.5m frontage, and all six are three-bedroom, two-bathroom, single-storey homes between 138m² and 158m². That is a spread of 20 square metres from the smallest to the largest. On a 10m lot our designs range across 85 square metres; at 7.5m they are close to the same size, so what you are really choosing between is the layout and the garage.
Two of the six have a single garage. One has a double garage reached from the back of the lot. Those two facts narrow the list faster than anything else, and both depend on the lot, not the design.
All six designs at a glance
Floor areas are the figures published on each design’s page.
| Design | Bedrooms | Garage | Floor area | What sets it apart |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Outlook | 3 | Single | 138m² | A guest wing, and a built-in bath in the main bathroom |
| The Haven | 3 | Double | 145m² | Central courtyard, island kitchen, master at the rear |
| The Element | 3 | Double | 150m² | Master at the front, walk-in pantry, courtyard to the garage |
| The Retreat | 3 | Double | 155m² | Master at the front, living and courtyard at the rear |
| The Coastline | 3 | Single | 155m² | Shoppers’ entry, full-size laundry, alfresco |
| The Axis | 3 | Double, rear access | 158m² | Bedrooms at the front, store room, garage at the back |
All six are single-storey. Our builder panel specialises in single-storey homes, with select double-storey options available on request. Floor plans and facades are on each design’s page, and every design we offer is on our home designs page.
Where the master bedroom goes
On a lot this narrow the home is a long strip, and the main decision a design makes is what sits at the street end and what sits at the back. The six split into three patterns.
Bedrooms at the front, living at the back. The Retreat, The Element and The Axis put the master suite at the street end, with its own ensuite, and keep the kitchen, living and dining at the rear where they open to an outdoor courtyard. The Axis goes furthest: all three bedrooms sit at the front, so the whole back half of the home is living space. This pattern suits a household that wants the living areas away from the street and the bedrooms together.
Master at the back. The Haven puts the master suite, with a walk-in robe and ensuite, at the rear of the home, and builds the plan around a central courtyard that brings light into the middle of the house. The island kitchen anchors the open-plan living. At 145m² it is the second smallest of the six.
A separate guest wing. The Outlook, the smallest at 138m², gives one bedroom its own wing away from the main sleeping zone. That suits a teenager, a visiting parent, or a housemate who needs some distance. The master has a double-sided walk-in robe and ensuite, the main bathroom has a built-in bath, and the living sits at the rear.
The Coastline is the one designed around the working week rather than the bedroom layout. A shoppers’ entry runs from the garage straight to the kitchen and laundry, the laundry is a full room rather than a cupboard, and an alfresco extends the rear living outdoors.
The garage decides more than the floor plan
This is the part of a 7.5m design to look at before anything else.
- Single or double. The Outlook and The Coastline have a single garage. The other four have a double. If a second covered car space matters, the list is four.
- Rear access. The Axis is the only one of the six whose design page says the double garage is reached from the rear. That keeps the street frontage clear for the entry, but it only works on a lot with access at the back, such as a laneway. On a lot without rear access, The Axis is not an option.
- The three front-facing doubles. For The Retreat, The Element and The Haven, check on the actual lot how the double garage meets the street. As our narrow lot home designs page explains for 6m lots, a double garage on the narrowest blocks generally relies on rear access from a laneway, and the same question applies at 7.5m. Ask the builder to show you the garage, the crossover and the front entry on the plan for the lot you are buying.
7.5m lots on our books
They are not common on our list. As at 23 October 2026, 32 of the house and land packages on our books record a frontage, and three of them are on a 7.5m lot:
| Suburb | Home | Block | Advertised from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hilbert | 3 bedrooms | 240m² | $668,550 (as at 23 October 2026) |
| Wellard | 3 bedrooms | 225m² | $700,000 (as at 23 October 2026) |
| Cockburn Central | 4 bedrooms | 238m² | $1,000,000 (as at 23 October 2026) |
Two numbers in that table are worth a second look.
The blocks are 225m² to 240m². At 7.5m wide, that works out at roughly 30 to 32 metres deep if the lot is a plain rectangle. Check the depth on the plan of subdivision, because a design drawn for 7.5m is also drawn for a certain depth.
One of them has four bedrooms. Our catalogue has no four-bedroom design for 7.5m. A package is put together by one of our builder partners, so the home on it is not necessarily one of the six designs above. Ask which design a package uses, and how many storeys it has, before you compare it with anything on this page.
The listings change week to week. The live list is on our house and land packages page, and our suburb guides for Hilbert and Wellard cover what to check in each.
If 7.5m is too tight, or not tight enough
- Narrower: 6m. Five of our designs are drawn for a 6m frontage, from The Drift at 100m² with two bedrooms to The Ascent at 136m² with three. They are listed on our narrow lot home designs page.
- Wider: 10m. Below 10m, every design in our catalogue has two or three bedrooms. If you need a fourth bedroom, the narrowest designs that have one are drawn for 10m and 10.5m, compared on our page of 10m frontage home designs.
Five checks before you choose a 7.5m design
- The exact frontage. Read it from the plan of subdivision or the land sale contract, not the estate brochure. A lot described as “about 7.5m” might be narrower, and a design drawn for 7.5m needs the full 7.5m once the side setbacks come out of it.
- Access at the rear. If the lot backs onto a laneway, The Axis and its rear garage come into play. If it does not, check how a double garage fits at the front, or plan on a single.
- The R-Code and the estate guidelines. Setbacks and site cover come from the state’s Residential Design Codes, published by the WA Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, and many estates add their own rules on facades, garages and fencing. Both apply before the design does.
- Which way the lot faces. On a narrow lot the living areas can face only the front or the back. Our guide to which way your house should face on a Perth block explains why that matters for whether you want the living at the rear, as all six of these designs have it.
- What the package price includes. Ask what is fixed in the price and what is a provisional sum, line by line: site works, the driveway, fencing and landscaping.
If this is your first home, check the grant before you set a budget: our first home owner grant calculator works through it for a new build.
Where we fit
We are not a builder and we do not sell land. We match you with packages and builders from our panel, check what each price includes, and we are paid by the builder, not by you. How we are paid sets that out. If you have a 7.5m lot in mind, send us its details and we will tell you which of these designs fit it before you commit.
Common questions
How many home designs fit a 7.5m frontage?
Six in our catalogue: The Outlook, The Haven, The Element, The Retreat, The Coastline and The Axis. All six have three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Can I get a double garage on a 7.5m lot?
Four of the six designs have one. The Axis has a rear-access double garage, which needs a lot with access at the back. For the others, check how the garage meets the street on the actual lot before you commit.
What is the largest 7.5m design?
The Axis, at 158m², with all three bedrooms at the front and the living at the rear. The smallest is The Outlook at 138m².
Is there a four-bedroom design for a 7.5m frontage?
Not in our catalogue. Below 10m, every design we offer has two or three bedrooms. The narrowest four-bedroom designs are drawn for 10m and 10.5m.
Are any of these double-storey?
No. All six are single-storey. Our builder panel specialises in single-storey homes, and select double-storey options are available on request.
