Why Dilston is different from the rest of Corbridge

Dilston is a rural pocket inside Corbridge, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Corbridge job. We plan around natural-stone walls, larger garden footprints and farm-edge boundaries. That's why this page exists separately to ourCorbridge page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
