In-law suite additions in Sunderland
Sunderland is a village in Brock Township, in the north of Durham Region, surrounded by farmland. Many families here are planning for a parent to move in, or for themselves to stay in their home as they get older.
A single-storey in-law suite on the side of a bungalow can include a bedroom, a sitting room and an accessible bathroom with a curbless shower and grab bars, plus its own step-free entry. It gives everyone privacy while keeping family close.

Approvals in Sunderland
The Township of Brock issues building permits and sets the zoning, including whether a second unit is allowed. Rural lots need clearances from the well and septic, and a suite with a bathroom may need a septic upgrade. Lots near the Beaver River or wetlands can fall under Lake Simcoe Region Conservation.

04 / IN FOCUSHOME ADDITIONS · SUNDERLAND
A house for every season
Winters in north Durham are long and windy. We pay special attention to insulation, air sealing and entries, so the new suite stays warm and draft-free from December to March.

Planning for the years ahead
Even if no one needs a walker today, small choices make a suite easier to live in later: wider doors, blocking in the walls for future grab bars, a level entry and lever handles. Planning them now costs far less than adding them after the walls are finished.

Laura Barrett
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! -

Communication was seamless throughout the process; they kept us informed at every stage and were always available to address any questions or concerns. The project was completed on schedule and within the agreed-upon budget, reflecting their commitment to reliability and efficiency.
The quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations, with meticulous craftsmanship evident in every facet of the build. The final result is a stunning cottage that not only meets but surpasses our vision.
We highly recommend Henley Contracting to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled contractor for custom home or cottage construction. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly commendable.
Ps. Thanks for the invite to your cottage this summer! Looking forward to it!
