Why Herrington is different from the rest of Sunderland

Herrington is a suburban pocket inside Sunderland, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Sunderland job. We plan around 1960s-90s family homes, wider drives and mature front gardens. That's why this page exists separately to ourSunderland page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.

Property Types We Work With in Herrington

Post-War Semis

Solid-built semi-detached homes with good-sized plots, perfect for adding a new driveway or patio.

Modern Detached

Newer builds with open-plan gardens that suit contemporary patio designs and low-maintenance landscaping.

Extended Properties

Houses that have been extended often need the driveway or roof adjusted to match the new footprint.

Corner Plots

Properties on corner plots have more frontage and garden space, offering greater scope for creative exterior design.
