Spotlight: Double Storey Granny Flat Build In Metford
This two-storey two-bedroom granny flat in Metford was custom-built for local investors looking to maximise rental return on a compact corner block within the Maitland Council region. Designed to suit the site constraints and owner specifications, the modified Anna Bay design delivers strong street appeal, functional living zones and independent access, creating a highly desirable secondary dwelling.
With its own street frontage on Tennyson Street, this project demonstrates how thoughtful design and quality construction can unlock additional income potential while maintaining privacy and visual separation from the main residence.

Design Overview
The Anna Bay floor plan was modified to suit the corner block layout and maximise the available backyard space. The result is a well-balanced double-storey granny flat with independent street access, a private courtyard and a top-floor balcony that enhances liveability and street presence.
