Germiston notes on house designs
On the older suburban stands, double storey additions and new two-bedroom cottages behind the main house are common. In Primrose and Elsburg, small families look for compact three-bedroom plans that fit narrow, deep stands with a side driveway. Ask the designer to check the building line along the street, because many Germiston roads were widened after the original houses went up.
Homes and buildings in Germiston
Germiston is an old railway and industrial town on the East Rand, with Victorian-era brick houses and tin roofs in Georgetown and Primrose, leafy larger stands in Dinwiddie and Lambton, and the upmarket edge of Bedfordview just north. Owners here tend to renovate rather than start again: pressed-ceiling cottages get new kitchens, garages become offices, and big erven are cut in two for a second house. Around the lake and along Rand Airport Road, workshops and small factories need layouts for fit-outs. Many buildings are old enough that a heritage check may be worth asking about.
