When rising construction costs put Scott’s original development plans at risk, he reassessed his options — and found a smarter way forward. With guidance from the team at Ashcroft, Scott shifted from a planned apartment build to a more viable approach: keeping the existing home and adding four two-bedroom homes, creating five separate titles. The result was a project that made far better financial sense and delivered a very successful outcome.

Looking for a smart, efficient three-bedroom design? The Dartford Plus offers two levels of well-planned living — with open-plan spaces downstairs and three bedrooms, including a primary with ensuite, upstairs. A guest toilet, internal-access garage with laundry, and a low-maintenance brick-and-weatherboard exterior round out the design.

It’s available as a standalone home, duplex, or terraced option.

Everyday Living, Elevated.
Introducing our newest inclusion: wall-hung vanities with built-in sensor lighting.
Sleek and handleless with soft-close drawers, these vanities bring a refined, modern look to every bathroom. Built from plywood instead of MDF, they’re stronger, more moisture-resistant, and made to last.
Now a standard feature in every Ashcroft bathroom.
Every finish, carefully considered.
