78 | Stonewood Homes Tauranga: Ancroft Development T T Karen Phelps ‘Starting to become a real community’ Special design features include raked Hardi Groove and batten ceilings in the living/dining area. BUILDING Stonewood Homes Tauranga has completed a number of homes in the first stage of the Ancroft development in Matamata and with more sections available in stage two the subdivision is starting to become a real community, says Stonewood Homes Tauranga franchise owner Chris Norris. Set over 20 hectares, Ancroft has a special rural outlook with views to the Kaimai Range. It is being completed over five stages. Stage One, which has now sold out, has sections ranging from 912sqm to 1456sqm and Stage Two encompasses 42 sections of a similar size. Chris says the large sections allow for a beautiful big home with plenty of room for outdoor living. Smart covenants protect people’s investment and give additional security. Stonewood Homes Tauranga has built a showhome in Stage one of Ancroft to showcase what is possible. The 250sqm classic style home is clad in a mix of brick and oblique weatherboard. It boasts four bedrooms, an office, two living areas and a large garage with plenty of room. There is an ensuite off the master bedroom plus full bathroom and separate toilet. Special design features include raked Hardi Groove and batten ceilings in the living/dining area, 2.57 stud throughout the house, feature wallpaper, gas fire, solid timber flooring and al fresco covered entertaining area. Chris and husband Kevin, a qualified builder and Licensed Building Practitioner, have been franchisees for 17 years and build in the Tauranga and Matamata-Piako regions. Prior to joining Stonewood Homes they had their own private building company for ten years and Kevin was building before that as well on his own so they offer over 30 years of building expertise to their clients. With the help of a great team they aim to deliver exceptional homes to their clients, says Chris. “Stonewood Homes standard specs are higher and it’s those extras that come as standard that sets us apart, like extra high ceilings and doorways. This makes Stonewood Homes different from the rest.” Stonewood Homes Tauranga offers a wide range of versatile house plans as well as a full design and build option. All are architecturally designed and go from two bedrooms up to 450sqm homes. Of course because each plan can be altered to suit the clients’ specific needs and site no two homes are exactly the same. “Clients love knowing they will be listened to and that creating tailor-made plans to suit their family is part of the Stonewood experience,” says Chris. “Working with clients to achieve their dream home is what sets Stonewood Tauranga apart.” Stonewood Homes is one of the largest new homebuilders in New Zealand and has been building homes since 1987. It has now built over 6000 homes throughout New Zealand. Chris says that this means when people build with Stonewood Homes they get the peace of mind from working with an established build company. “Our many years of building experience and superior buying power, ensure that outstanding home design and worry-free construction doesn’t have to cost the earth,” she says. Chris says a range of people have bought into Ancroft so far including from Matamata,Tauranga and Auckland. There is a range from semi-retired to young professionals with families. People can buy sections directly from Ancroft and then Stonewood Homes Tauranga can assist with the build. “We invite people to drive around Ancroft Developments, appreciate the stunning views and call in to see our showhome and have a chat,” says Chris. “It truly is a stunning opportunity for people wanting to build a new home in Matamata.” “Clients love knowing they will be listened to and that creating tailor-made plans to suit their family is part of the Stonewood experience.” info@tgwconstruction.co.nz 022 312 0609 PO Box 16009, Bethlehem, Tauranga 3147 CONSTRUCTION
