Home Extensions in Stockwell

Stockwell’s Victorian and Georgian houses have charmed residents with their architectural and historical aesthetics. Creative Spaces has led multiple extension projects in Stockwell. From Brixton to Clapham and within various other areas in London Borough of Lambeth, residents are extending their homes to increase their living space and add value to their properties. Stockwell is a popular place to live and has maintained its demand amongst new buyers and investors by offering proximity and excellent commute to London, and furthermore due to its potential as a springboard to a larger property, more people want to move into the area extending flats in order to add value. The best way to add value is to add a rear extension or side return extension to a property which will increase living space in the property. Creative Spaces can assist you in choosing which extension is best for you so that you can continue living your life comfortably in Stockwell while enjoying its rich cultural diversity with welcoming community.

As a result of its historical charm and contemporary living, the architecture is a mix of Victorian houses, period conversions and modern apartments found in diverse areas like Stockwell Station, Albert Square and the Oval. Along with being affordable for a social lifestyle, Stockwell has top-rated educational facilities, and we are already well aware of its strong transportation network via London underground, National Rail Services and buses. Stockwell offers a lot more to life of its residents with bustling pubs, cafes, and its infamous Portuguese cuisine.

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

You can add a rear, side return (in-fill) or wrap around extension to your property in Stockwell. 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 Stockwell 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 Stockwell 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 Stockwell, we can help you to design the perfect space.

Do I need planning permission for my extension in Stockwell?

You may have permitted development rights for your extension in Stockwell, 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.
