Maitland Area Hunter Region Granny Flat Case Study
This granny flat was recently completed in Bolwarra in the city of Maitland. It was built for a mother and son duo with the only issue being who gets to move in! They selected The Dock Plus design from our large range of modern two bedroom granny flats and were able to make upgrades on the design and build such as a dual skillion roof, Velux skylights and extended porch. They also chose to upgrade the windows and sliding door.
A modern tiled bathroom separates the two bedrooms, each fitted with a built-in robe to maximise space. The Dock Plus design also includes a linen cupboard and a separate laundry for added convenience. The clients have created a real entertainers delight with this granny flat design. To complement the generous and well thought out living space they have added a porch that wraps around from the front all the way down the side of the granny flat. The sliding door gives easy access from the living area straight onto the porch, and outdoor lighting means the space can be used day and night. The kitchen features modern appliances and additional bench space.
This was a DA submission, and the property is in a heritage listed area. Some neighbours made enquiries about this build when the submission was in council, however everything went through fine. Access for the build was through the existing houses’ garage which we managed for the client, keeping a tidy site at all times.
With the personal touches – it’s now a perfect little home. In fact, illustrating the flexibility of a granny flat with Acrow, our client built the granny flat with the intention of her moving in, however her son and his fiancé ended up moving in instead. This was a great addition to a large block which already contained a 4 bedroom house, meaning the clients have all the space needed to live their best lives – as independently or together as they wished
