Blackhill Village is a suburban pocket inside Consett, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Consett job. We plan around back-garden patios with level changes and lawn-to-paving transitions. That's why this page exists separately to ourConsett page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
