Will & Lydia Batts
Looking to build your dream home around the Counties Franklin region, but want to avoid something generic? We get it. We pride ourselves on our great design, and even better customer service. We think building your dream home should be exciting and it can be when you know your project is in good hands. It’s that blend of design and build that sets us apart.
“For us, it’s about integrity. We do what we say we’re going to do – that goes for everyone; from the clients to the suppliers to our team. Even with little stuff – especially the little stuff.”
- Will & Lydia Batts Owners of Sentinel Homes [Counties & Franklin].
With extensive design experience, leading teams on a variety of projects within several architectural practices - Will Batts and the team offer a level of sophistication to each finished home that’s hard to find elsewhere. Whether you want a completely custom design or to start from one of our popular house plans, every home we build is unique to you.
So whether it’s a large modern country home in Ararimu, a waterfront property in Clarks beach, a family dream home in Pukekohe or a new build elsewhere in like Glenbrook or Waiuku, we’d love to chat.

This fabulous show home in Park Green, Karaka, is a cutting-edge two-storey home that illustrates how sophisticated design features don't need to cost a fortune. It packs a lot of living into a tricky site with a spacious double garage, two living areas, a luxurious kitchen and scullery and a very generous master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite. This home is flooded with natural light, and the open plan living areas all seamlessly integrate with a large hardwood deck area facing north-west. We pride ourselves on designing and building the home you have always dreamed of - to suit your budget.
Come and visit us to see 100s of design ideas, the home's unique features and to chat with the team about bringing your ideas to life.

The Sentinel Homes ‘Design and Build’ approach is about giving you a home that is unique to you and your family. Designed for how you live. No cookie cutter homes around here. We can approach your project in a couple of ways:
If you’re looking for something completely custom, we’ll guide you through the design process from floor plans to finishings - the only limit is your imagination. Bring along your ideas and inspiration and work with our team to come up with something that is uniquely yours.
Or, perhaps you’d prefer the inspiration of one of our many existing plans? This can be the springboard from which to design your dream home. All plans can be modified in any way to suit you. Extra bedroom? Easy. Larger kitchen and living? No problem. A home office or art studio? Consider it done.
With Sentinel Homes, no two houses are ever the same!
Choose from hundreds of proven existing plans you can customise to fit your family.

Following a high paced career in architecture, Will had an opportunity to work with one of New Zealand’s largest residential developers and led the design and delivery of several large scale housing developments in central Auckland. Working with some of the top people in the business gave Will some valuable insights into how a highly successful company can consistently deliver top quality homes year after year.
Lydia has run a successful interior design and décor business for over 7 years and brings a wealth of design experience to the team. Lydia loves helping clients interpret and develop their own design taste to get the most out of their opportunity to make their home their own.
When the chance came to own Sentinel Homes in the Counties & Franklin district, Will and Lydia were excited to bring their wealth of experience directly to clients.
