What kind of extension can I add to my property in Earlsfield?

You can add a rear, side return (in-fill) or wrap around extension to your property in Earlsfield. For a garden flat a rear extension is ideal to extend your living space and even adding a bedroom. A rear extension: extending straight out from the back of the house, can add up to 3m of additional living space to your home. This allows you to create an open and bright kitchen and dining space with direct access to your garden or patio. Large bifolding doors draw in lots of natural light and allow for a panoramic view of your garden or patio. Many of our clients who undertake a rear extension want a more social space for their family to gather in or to entertain friends and family. An in-fill or side return extension in Earlsfield can also add significant space to your kitchen. This allows you to reconfigure the layout of the kitchen and to add a dining space. A series of roof lights or Velux windows along the in-fill roof draws acres of natural light into the space. A wrap-around extension in Earlsfield is a great option, this combines a side return and rear extension “wrapping” around the rear of the building. A wrap around extension allows you to maximise your dining and kitchen space and in most cases allows for the addition of a lounge or seating area. Roof windows and Velux windows in the side return brings plenty of light into the space and bifold doors and large windows to the rear contribute the sense of drawing the outside in and provide views into the garden space and patio. In some cases, we have added an oriel window with bench seating inside. If you are considering an extension in Earlsfield, we can help you to design the perfect space.

Do I need planning permission for my extension in Earlsfield?

You may have permitted development rights for your extension in Earlsfield, in which case you would not need to apply for planning permission. In order to obtain permitted development rights you must comply with the permitted development regulations and in some cases apply for a legal right of development certificate. The planning requirements should be checked with the local council as regulations vary from Borough to Borough. We know the guidelines very well and can advise on planning permission and give you an indication of the process. If this is something you are interested in, give us a call today.

Case Study

Side return extension Earlsfield

We added a lovely side return extension to a property in Earlsfield. This is an end of terrace Victorian house which required a reconfiguration of the ground floor space and additional space for a dining area and new kitchen. The new space added allowed us to reconfigure the old dining room to become a utility room and downstairs WC and then create a much larger kitchen and dining space. We also renovated the sitting room maintaining some of the old Victorian features such as ceiling roses and bay window with traditional shutters. The side return extension features three large roof windows drawing plenty of light into the dining and kitchen space. To the rear, we added large bifold doors to the full width of the property (from party wall to party wall). The kitchen has been transformed to a much larger space with an island unit at its heart, which not only provides a beautiful focal point but also a very sociable space for both the family and friends to gather. Furthermore, with the addition of the utility we were able to create a pantry style wall in the kitchen that has room for an integrated American style fridge freezer. Overall, we think this has transformed this Victorian terraced property in Earlsfield and has the bonus of adding significant value to the property. We have since been back to this property to add a loft conversion.
