Why Thorney Close is different from the rest of Sunderland

Thorney Close 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.
