KITCHEN EXTENSIONS

​

One of the most popular building projects for homeowners, the kitchen extension can create a big open-plan room with space for dining and seating. As well as adding more space it can also increase the value of your home, if you decide to sell, too.

​

A must-have in new properties and one of the top re-modelling projects in period homes, the generous open-plan kitchen is now the epicentre for modern living. There are several ways to scale-up space, from combining adjoining rooms or adding a conservatory to building a completely new room or digging out the basement.

​

Extending out to the side is a good option if you live in a semi-detached or detached home, as it doesn’t mean using garden space. You may loose side access to your garden though, and planning permission can be trickier as it will be determined by how close you are to you neighbour's boundary. For period terraced homes the path or back garden to the side of a kitchen at the rear, called the side return can be extended into to create a kitchen that runs the full width of the house. Remember, though, to consider how light will then reach the rooms the new space will extend over. You can also combine rear and side extensions for a stunning wrap-around kitchen.
