Build Your Dream Property With Us

Looking for bespoke builders in Blundellsands who can handle a substantial home with the care it deserves? Manion Developments designs and builds large-scale homes and extensions for clients across Blundellsands, Crosby and the wider Sefton area. We specialise in high-value residential work and manage the process from first initial designs through to handover.

Blundellsands is a distinctive place to build. Many properties sit on generous plots, with mature gardens, wide streets and a strong Victorian character. Parts of the area fall within the Blundellsands Park Conservation Area, first designated in 1982 and reviewed by Sefton Council in 2008. That means scale, materials and the relationship with neighbouring houses matter as much as the brief itself. Our work is planned around those constraints, not forced through them.

Bespoke Builds

A bespoke build in Blundellsands is rarely a standard house type. Clients come to us for one-off homes and substantial rebuilds that respond to the plot, the outlook and the way the household actually lives. We take the design from concept through planning and technical drawings, then construct it with premium materials and a site team used to complex, high-specification work.

That can mean a contemporary home set carefully within an established street, or a more traditional design that sits comfortably beside the area’s larger properties. Either way, the aim is the same: a house that feels considered, well-built and finished to a standard that will last.

Home Extensions

A well-designed house extension is often the most practical way to gain space in Blundellsands without leaving a house you already value. We design and build single-storey and double-storey extensions, rear and side additions, and larger open-plan kitchen and living spaces, including projects with bifold doors, roof lanterns and high-quality glazing.

In England, some single-storey rear extensions can be built under permitted development, typically up to 4 metres deep on a detached house or 3 metres on other houses, with a larger-home prior-approval route of up to 8 metres or 6 metres. Those rights can be more strict if your property is in a conservation area, and they do not apply to listed buildings or flats. Even where planning permission is not required, Building Regulations approval still are. We check the planning position for your specific property with Sefton Council’s requirements in mind before any design is fixed.

Complete Design and Build

Our design and build service keeps architecture, planning, technical design and construction under one team. You have a single point of contact rather than separate designers and contractors working in isolation. We prepare the drawings, support the planning application where one is needed, coordinate Building Regulations and structural design, and then build the project.

That joined-up approach is particularly useful on larger Blundellsands commissions, where planning sensitivity, neighbour impact, drainage and finish quality all need to be resolved together. If you already have an architect, we are equally happy to build from an agreed design.

Bespoke Builders Blundellsands – Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work in Blundellsands?

Yes. We regularly work across Blundellsands, Crosby and the wider Sefton coast, as well as Merseyside and the Northwest more generally. We are based in Lydiate, a short distance inland.

What kind of projects do you take on in Blundellsands?

We focus on larger bespoke builds, luxury new homes and substantial home extensions, including design and build projects. These are often high-value commissions where planning, detailing and finish quality matter as much as the build itself.

Can you extend a house in the part of Blundellsands that are in a Conservation Area?

Often yes, but the design needs to respect the character of the area. Permitted development rights are more restricted in conservation areas, and many projects need a full planning application to Sefton Council. We advise on the likely route at the start and design accordingly.

Do you offer a complete design and build service?

Yes. We can take a project from initial ideas and architectural drawings through planning, Building Regulations and construction. You can also appoint us to build from plans prepared by your own architect.

Will I need planning permission?

It depends on the property, its planning history and the scale of the work. Some smaller rear extensions in England fall under permitted development, but conservation-area status, earlier extensions and Article 4 directions can remove those rights. We confirm the position for your house before design work progresses.

Do Building Regulations still apply if planning permission is not needed?

Yes. Planning and Building Regulations are separate. Structural work, drainage, electrics, insulation, ventilation and fire safety all need to meet the Building Regulations and be signed off by Building Control, whether or not a planning application is required.

How long does a Blundellsands project take?

A substantial extension often takes several months on site once approvals are in place. A full bespoke new build commonly runs from 12 to 24 months, depending on size, specification and the planning programme. We set out a realistic timetable once the brief is clear.

Do you cover Crosby and Waterloo as well as Blundellsands?

Yes. Blundellsands sits within Crosby, and we also take on suitable projects in Waterloo, Crosby, Fromby and the wider Sefton coast. If the brief is a substantial bespoke build, new home or extension, we are happy to look at it.

What types of homes do you usually work on in Blundellsands?

Most enquiries are for larger detached and semi-detached houses on generous plots, including period villas and later family homes. Projects tend to be one-off builds, significant extensions or high-specification renovations rather than small repairs.

Who deals with planning applications in Blundellsands?

Sefton Council is the local planning authority. We prepare the drawings and support the application, and we factor in local character, neighbour impact and, where relevant, the Blundellsands Park Conservation Area from the start.

Are all parts of Blundellsands in a conservation area?

No. The Blundellsands Park Conservation Area covers the historic planned core, not every street in the suburb. If your house is inside the boundary, or nearby, design and materials are looked at more closely. We check the designation for your address before advising on the planning route.

Can you build a new home on a plot in Blundellsands?

Yes, where planning policy and the site allow it. A new dwelling almost always needs full planning permission. We look at access, plot size, the surrounding street and any conservation or tree constraints before developing a design.
