Reasons to extend
Given the high cost and hassle of moving – stamp duty, agents fees, solicitor’s fees etc. Staying put is a very attractive option. Furthermore, if you live in an area that you really like and enjoy; why move? A single-storey extension is a cost-effective way to add extra living space to your home through either a kitchen extension or a side return. You can open up your living and dining area to create more space and light – which can be a rare, but, highly sought-after commodity in London!
Ways to Extend
There are a number of ways to scale-up space with a home extension. Here are some examples:
Rear Extension
This extends out from the back of a house and is typically a kitchen and / or extra living / dining space.
Rear extension
Our in-house design team has worked with many of our clients to reconfigured the downstairs space and open up the existing living areas, creating a better “flow” between the front and back of the house. We are very proud of our build teams that always refurbish sympathetically (typically we refurbish and extend old Georgian or Victorian buildings) and build a stylish new addition with the extension.
Side-return Extension
This is a very common extension for a terraced and semi-detached house in London. Typically, this provides a combined kitchen, dining and / or living space or a larger kitchen and dining space.
Side - return extension
All of the side-return extensions we have done include large roof windows to bring in extra light and large opening doors and windows to the rear.
Double-storey Extension
A two-storey extension doesn’t cost as much as you might think. In terms of building the fabric of the structure a lot of the ground works, steels etc. has to be put in place for a single storey extension anyway.
Double-storey extension
Where costs mount is usually the additional internal finishes and fixtures. A two-storey extension greatly increases living space – commonly with an open plan kitchen and dining space downstairs and a large master or guest bedroom with en-suite upstairs.
Single Storey Extensions
A single storey extension is by far the most popular extension we do. It can take the form of a rear extension, side return or wrap around extension. The purpose is the create a larger living and dining space in your home.
A single storey extension design can be subtle so that it matches with the existing building in appearance, or it can be a real statement by unique cladding, glazing or layout configuration.
Wrap Around Extensions
This is a great option to create vastly more space in your home combining a rear extension and a side return extension. A wrap around extension is a great alternative to moving home. If you love the area you live but don’t want the hassle or expense of moving then a wraparound extension could be the solution for you.
Kitchen Extensions
A Kitchen is the heart of the home – we live, work, play and relax in our kitchens. It is important to create a space capable of handling all that we expect of this room and more. The kitchen is the most multifunctional room in the house and it is important when designing a kitchen extension that it functions exactly as you want it.
Glass Extensions
If you already have the dream kitchen and dining space, but crave more living space a glass extension or pod room is a great option to get another room. A pod room is a great way to enjoy the garden all year round. Generally a glass extension isn’t as big as a full rear extension but is a great addition to any home, drawing in lots of light with glass walls generally on two sides and a roof lantern or sky light in the roof above.
Flat and Pitched Roof Extensions
When planning your extension, the roof is an important design element that can impact the look and feel of the overall extension on the outside and on the inside. There are two main roof types here, flat roof or pitched roof and the decision to go for one over the other is not just limited to maximising space and light.
