Project
Brief
The Acres was conceived as a distinctive new residential development that would deliver a blend of contemporary style, functional design, and long-term value. The project brief called for a collection of energy-efficient homes offering generous living spaces, private gardens, and strong kerb appeal – all set within a thoughtfully landscaped environment.
With a focus on quality construction and modern finishes, the homes at The Acres were designed to meet the needs of today’s discerning buyers, while ensuring durability and sustainability for years to come.
Development
Process
The development of The Acres progressed through a highly collaborative and detail-driven process. From initial site planning to final handover, the project team worked closely with architects, planning consultants, and contractors to ensure every element of the scheme met exacting standards.
Key stages included gaining planning via appeal, extensive site preparation, phased construction across two blocks, and the integration of sustainable building practices throughout. Regular engagement with the local community helped to maintain transparency and foster positive relationships during the build.
The result is a collection of beautifully finished homes that now form part of a vibrant and welcoming neighbourhood.
