A heritage house is a house constructed with a touch of Asian heritage and culture. Derived from Balinese concepts, the heritage house is well-loved by locals as well as expatriates.

Pros and Cons of living in a Heritage House

The heritage house usually consists of two storeys. Designed for big families or single families that have grown to extended families, big living areas are a common feature in the heritage house.

The first storey of a heritage house contains a spacious living and dining hall. Many heritage house owners have these areas partitioned with delicately-carved wooden screens. The courtyard of the heritage house, though small, provides a space for quiet reflection, reading the Sunday Paper or a cosy get-together for two.

The second storey of a heritage house usually contains three bedrooms. The master room of a heritage house is usually smaller than that of a shophouse. The other two bedrooms of the heritage house are rarely small and share a common bathroom. For nostalgic and spacious qualities, the heritage house may be the house for your very needs.
