Why Barmston is different from the rest of Washington

Barmston is a suburban pocket inside Washington, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Washington job. We plan around longer single-vehicle drives that often need widening or re-shaping. That's why this page exists separately to ourWashington page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.

Washington is a planned new town built in the 1960s and 1970s, with distinct numbered villages each containing their own housing estates, shops, and green spaces. Properties are predominantly modern semi-detached and detached houses with good-sized gardens.
