Types of home extensions
Rear Extensions
Extends the house into the back garden. Common for kitchens, dining rooms, or open-plan living areas. Ideal for homes with large backgardens.
Can be single-story (for extra living space) or double-story (for additional bedrooms or bathrooms)
Side Return Extensions
Uses the narrow alleyway on the side of a house. Common for Victorian and Edwardian homes that have small side passages.
Great for expanding kitchens or creating a larger open-plan living area. Can be combined with a rear extension for an L-shaped wraparound extension.
Wrap Around Extensions
Combines a rear and side return extension. Maximises space and allows for a complete transformation of the ground floor.
Often used for large open-plan kitchens, dining, and lounge areas.
Requires structural work but offers
a significant increase in floor space
Double Storey Extensions
Adds space on both the ground and first floors. Can add extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or an office upstairs.
Maximises space and increases property value.
Typically requires planning permission
