Newcastle Granny Flat Case Study
This recently completed Granny Flat in Edgeworth, offers privacy and comfort and was designed to be well suited for positioning on the block. The granny flat features two bedrooms, one of which includes built-in robes for added convenience. The strategic layout maximises privacy by situating the bedrooms at opposite ends of the home. An expansive open-plan living area serves as a place for relaxation and entertainment, boasting ample space for cooking and entertaining. The inclusion of bespoke elements such as the custom timber porch and a 1.2-meter breakfast bar elevates the aesthetic appeal and personalised touch.
Our client chose to adapt The Pavillion, a classic two bedroom granny flat design. Building this granny flat for his two eldest children to give them their own space, he was very involved in the design and colours process. The client personalised the granny flat floor plans slightly to extend the deck and add a breakfast bar in the kitchen. He upgraded his selections to include tiling to ceiling height in the bathroom, a niche in the shower, gas cooktop & hot water system, and supplied his own kitchen sink. The block didn’t present any challenges, Acrow did some additional sewer works but otherwise the job was straight forward and was completed ahead of schedule.
The long rectangle shape of the chosen granny flat was carefully considered to optimise space while maintaining a distinct sense of separation from the main home. Each dwelling enjoys its own generous yard space, fostering a sense of ownership and allowing each home to personalise their outdoor living areas. The position adds the potential for future fencing to further enhance privacy.
Acrow Granny Flat Review
Here is the five star feedback this client left on google for our work on this Newcastle granny flat:
I did heaps of research on all of the Granny Flat builders in my locality prior to finally settling on Acrow to build my new granny flat to give my 2 eldest children their own space. To say that I am totally happy with the choice of Acrow as a builder is a gross understatement, the entire package from price to quality of finishes is first rate.
Everything from the initial enquiry with Mick, the design phase with Sam, through colour selection with Crystal and finally to the construction phase with the project manager Dario, this was the easily the smoothest building project I have ever undertaken. Additionally, Dario was one of the most accommodating and easy to deal with people that I have ever encountered on a building site, nothing was to difficult for him and he always kept me informed of any changes to the schedule, (which was completed 2 weeks ahead of time by the way) and that makes me very happy.
I also want to say a big shout out to all the tradies and subcontractors Acrow employed on the job. I wish to thank all of these amazing people and congratulate Acrow on what I consider truly superior service. Such dedication to customer relations is rarely experience in this day and the entire company as an organization can justifiably be proud of their achievements.
Well done to all and my sincerest Thank You.
Peter.
With its thoughtful design, tailored amenities, and emphasis on privacy and individuality, this granny flat is a perfect investment or home for the family.

With property prices on the rise, there is a boom in popularity when it comes to granny flats. Having an extra detached space can ease the pressure by:
- Great alternatives to retirement homes for elderly parents.
- Great investment potential for renting out to tenants.
- Extra space for keeping large families together.
- Adding value to your property to boost capital gains.
We are delighted with the result of our latest project – a granny flat to provide more accommodation for our client.
In this case the client built a granny flat for her daughter who wanted to move away from Sydney and start fresh on the Central Coast.
Our clients chose The Prime Plus design

- Return on investment: The average rental return for Berkley Vale is $420/week.
THE LOCATION
Our client is located in Berkley Vale on the Central Coast. She wanted a granny flat offering the ability for her daughter to move up from Sydney and have her own beautiful 2 bedroom home which would offer privacy but still have the support and companionship of her mother.
Berkeley Vale is a highly desired suburb on the Central Coast. Fast access to the Freeway makes Sydney and Newcastle accessible for commuters who desire a more relaxed lifestyle away from the city centres.
This suburb is on the banks of Tuggerah Lake, which is a popular destination for locals. The cycleway around the lake has parks, playgrounds and picnic and barbecue areas. Perfect for a leisurely family day out or a more vigorous trip to the bustling cafes of Long Jetty.
With a friendly and sociable small-town vibe, Berkeley Vale has great shopping and a variety of cafes and restaurants nearby.
A family-friendly area, Berkley Vale is ideally located close to local beaches, shopping centres, schools, and hospitals. This modern granny flat encapsulates the tranquil coastal lifestyle of its surrounds and will provide our clients with a fantastic return on investment as each home has the potential to earn upwards of $420 rental return per week based on area averages.
THE PROJECT
Our client wanted Acrow Granny Flats to design and construct a 2 bedroom granny flat that would appeal to her daughter so both of them were involved in the colour selections and finishes process.
This home is a coastal retreat, with an open plan kitchen and living area flowing out onto a perfectly complemented merbau entry porch and stairs. This granny flat boasts 2 spacious bedrooms with modern bathroom & kitchen
NSW Spotted Gum laminate flooring throughout the living areas, a modern clean kitchen with Bianco Aquila benchtops, white gloss splashback and stainless steel appliances exudes luxury and embraces the vibe of the seaside. Split system revers cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans add comfort on those warm Summer days.
Crisp white walls throughout the granny flat has added the bright airy feel the client wanted which is complimented by the natural light which comes through.
The granny flat comes with lovely features such as built in robes, spacious open plan living area, off street parking, outdoor entertainment area and a lovely garden.
The results more than match the brief and the clients are thrilled with their stylish investment.
Both the client and her daughter were thrilled with the outcome.

Family is important to us as a family-owned and operated business. It is a great idea to construct a granny flat for your elderly relatives in order to keep them closer together, while ensuring their independence as well. Some people find it emotionally and financially overwhelming to think about placing their elderly parents in a nursing home. With a granny flat, they can remain independent and private on your property while remaining on your property.
