Transforming Visions into Reality
Home extensions in the UK come in various forms, each with its own purpose and design considerations. Here are some common types of home extensions you might find in the UK:
It's important to note that the specific type of extension you can build may depend on local planning regulations, budget constraints, and the available space on your property. Always consult with a local architect, builder, or planning authority before undertaking any home extension project to ensure compliance with regulations and obtain the necessary permits.
This is one of the most popular types of home extensions in the UK. It involves extending the ground floor of a property towards the rear garden. Single-storey extensions can be used to create larger kitchen-dining areas, living rooms, or additional bedrooms.
Similar to a single-storey rear extension, a double-storey rear extension extends both the ground and first floors. This type of extension provides even more living space and can accommodate additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or a home office on the upper floor.
A side extension involves extending the side of a property to create additional living space. Side extensions are often used to expand the kitchen or create a new bedroom, utility room, or home office.
This type of extension combines both a rear and side extension, creating additional living space on multiple sides of the property. It's a comprehensive way to maximize the available space.
While not technically an extension, a loft conversion involves converting the attic or loft space into usable living space. This is a popular option for adding bedrooms, bathrooms, or a home office.
A porch extension is a small, enclosed structure typically added to the front of the house. It can enhance the curb appeal of the property and provide shelter from the weather.
In some cases, homeowners may choose to excavate and create a basement level beneath their property. This is a costly and complex extension option but can provide significant additional space for various uses.
Converting an existing garage into living space is a cost-effective way to add extra rooms to your home. Common uses include creating a home gym, an office, or an additional bedroom.
These are typically glass or partially glazed structures added to the rear of the property, often used as sunrooms, dining areas, or for growing plants. They provide a bright and airy space that connects the indoors with the garden.
An annex extension is a self-contained living space added to the main house, often with its own entrance and amenities. It can be used for guests, as a rental unit, or as accommodation for a family member.
There are other special applications for specific work, which are not necessary extensions but still need an application to get a permission like: Front garden alterations, Drop kerb, flat conversion, HMO, change of use, etc.
