Are you considering expanding your home? At Charmley Construction, we understand that choosing the right type of house extension can transform your living space, enhance functionality, and increase your property’s value. In this post, we explore the most common types of house extensions and what you should consider before starting your project.
1. Single-Storey Extensions
Single-storey extensions are a popular choice for homeowners who want to add extra space without altering the overall height of their home. They are ideal for:
-
Expanding kitchens or dining areas
-
Adding home offices or utility rooms
-
Creating sunrooms or conservatories
These extensions are generally more cost-effective and quicker to build, making them a practical option for many families.
2. Double-Storey Extensions
Double-storey extensions allow you to significantly increase your living space without expanding your home’s footprint. They are perfect for:
-
Adding extra bedrooms or bathrooms
-
Creating larger family areas
-
Enhancing the value of your property
Although more complex and costly than single-storey extensions, double-storey options maximize space on smaller plots.
3. Side and Rear Extensions
Side and rear extensions are excellent for increasing your home’s footprint while maintaining the existing garden or driveway. Rear extensions are particularly popular for:
-
Open-plan kitchen/dining areas
-
Living room expansions
-
Family entertainment spaces
Side extensions may require planning permission, especially if they impact neighbouring properties, but they offer a flexible way to add space.
4. Wrap-Around Extensions
Wrap-around extensions combine rear and side extensions into one cohesive project. They are ideal for homes with large plots and provide:
-
Extensive open-plan living areas
-
Seamless indoor-outdoor flow
-
Increased natural light throughout the home
These projects can transform your home entirely, making them a premium but highly desirable option.
5. Loft Conversions
While technically an internal extension, loft conversions are an excellent way to add bedrooms or office spaces without changing your home’s footprint. They are suitable for:
-
Creating master suites with en-suite bathrooms
-
Adding home offices or playrooms
-
Maximizing unused attic space
A well-planned loft conversion can significantly increase property value while keeping construction costs lower than a full-scale extension.
