Northenden sits just south of Didsbury across the River Mersey, only a few minutes from our office. The area has a village feel, with older cottages near the church and the river, and streets of 1930s and post-war semis that make excellent family homes.
Many Northenden houses have good-sized gardens and attached garages, so there is real scope to add space. We regularly build single-storey rear extensions, convert garages into offices and playrooms, and add loft bedrooms to semis with hipped roofs.

Popular projects in Northenden
A single-storey extension is the most popular Northenden project, followed by garage conversions and hip-to-gable loft conversions. We also refit bathrooms and en-suites across M22.
Planning permission in Northenden
Northenden is covered by Manchester City Council. Most semis retain permitted development rights, so 3 metre rear extensions and hip-to-gable lofts are often possible without a planning application. Older properties near the village centre may face extra controls, so we always check your address first.
