What is a house extension and what types are there?
Recent years have seen us spending more time in our homes and placing increasing demands upon the spaces that we inhabit. With the cost of moving increasing and the hassle that it causes, many of us are turning to home extensions to give us extra space. Whether you need a playroom, want to add a dining room or simply just need more space, a house extension is the solution for you.
So, what types of house extensions are there? Our handy guide has everything you need to know…
Front House Extensions
If you want to keep your rear garden as it is, but still desire additional space, a front house extension could be for you. Front house extensions are often used to increase living space, add new bedrooms or simply as a new porch. It’s worthwhile to remember that planning permission may be required for front house extensions as they are visible on the street level.
Side of House Extensions
A side of house extension is one of the best solutions for properties with wasted exterior space to the sides of their home. Although smaller in size than front or rear house extensions, side extensions are great at expanding the size of existing rooms such as kitchens, dining rooms and lounges.
Furthermore, side extensions rarely require planning permission.
Semi-Detached House Extensions
As semi-detached properties are only connected to a neighbour on one side, there are endless opportunities to explore for this type of house extension. Whether a front, side, back or partial wrap-around extension, there is so much you can do with a semi-detached house extension. In addition, they rarely require planning permission.
Terraced House Extensions
While you may need to be more considerate to your neighbours with a house extension on a terraced property, it doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. An extension on a terraced house is perfectly feasible, as long as you factor in the privacy of your neighbours and their right to light. In this instance, you may need to serve a party wall notice and get permission before construction begins.
Rear House Extensions
Rear house extensions are the most popular type of extensions that we work with. This type of extension is often transformed into living areas, utility rooms, offices, playrooms, dining areas and more! A great benefit of rear house extensions is that you can often connect indoor and outdoor living with the simple use of bi-folding or French doors.
What are the benefits of a house extension?
House extensions come with tons of advantages, many of which we have seen our clients enjoy first-hand. Here are some of the benefits of adding an extension to your house…
Do I need planning permission for a home extension?
As most extensions fall under ‘permitted development’ you shouldn’t need planning permission. This refers to the rights given to you as a homeowner to make renovations to your home without having to get permission first. Get in touch with us for more information if you’re unsure.
