Garden suites for downsizing in Sunderland

In a village like Sunderland, people know their neighbours and the shopkeepers. Moving to a condo in a bigger town can mean leaving all of that. A garden suite behind a son's or daughter's home offers another way: a smaller, easier home in the same village, with family a few steps away.

Village lots vary. Some are on municipal water, others rely on wells, and many are deep enough for a suite behind the house. We look at your lot's servicing and the township's rules before design begins.

01 / STAY IN THE VILLAGE
A new home without leaving the community.
02 / EASY UPKEEP
Durable finishes and a small yard to manage.
03 / ROOM FOR VISITS
A table and seating for family dinners.
04 / TOWNSHIP PERMITS
Applications to the Township of Brock.

Choosing what to bring

Moving from a family home to a suite means choosing furniture. We can plan the layout around a favourite dining table, a piano or a reading chair, so the new home feels familiar from the first day.

Close to the main street

Sunderland's shops, churches and services sit within a short walk of many village homes. For someone who no longer wants to drive every day, a suite on a village lot keeps errands, friends and appointments within easy reach, which matters as much as the design of the home itself.

After receiving a few quotes from different contractors to do a full renovation of our kitchen and dining room, we chose Henley because of how comfortable Nick and his team made us feel right from the first conversation.

From start to finish it took just over three weeks for the team to demolish our ugly, dated, and dark kitchen, and fully rebuild a stunning bright and light new space, designed with style and functionality in mind.

The Henley team was very responsive (shout out to Tom and Michelle), and kept us fully informed throughout the project with the Buildertrend app. They uploaded photos and notes to the app daily, so we always knew where the project was at and how things were progressing. We loved the transparency of this, especially not being at home through the reno.

Thank you Henley Contracting for completely transforming our space.
We are so happy with the final results!
