A side extension adds space to the side of a property, commonly used for widening kitchens or creating new rooms by utilizing narrow, unused side passages. These single-storey additions, or “side returns,” often avoid needing planning permission if they meet strict criteria regarding height, width, and materials.
A wrap-around extension is an L-shaped structure combining side and rear extensions to maximize ground floor space. Ideal for semi-detached or terraced homes, it fills unused alleyways and rear, often creating open-plan kitchens or living areas. They, however, usually require full planning permission.
A rear extension increases a home’s living space by expanding from the back of the property, typically used for open-plan kitchens, dining, or living areas. These single-storey additions, often avoid needing planning permission if they meet strict criteria regarding height, width, and materials.
A detached property is a standalone home that does not share any walls with neighbouring houses. It typically offers more privacy, outdoor space and flexibility in layout.
A semi-detached property is one of a pair of homes joined together by a single shared wall. It offers a balance between space and affordability while still providing some separation from neighbours.
An end of terrace property sits at the end of a row of terraced houses and shares only one adjoining wall. It often benefits from extra light, additional side access or a slightly larger plot.
A flat-back terraced property is part of a continuous row of houses with a straight rear elevation. The layout is typically uniform, with rooms aligned in a rectangular footprint.
An L-shaped terraced property forms part of a row but has a rear extension or layout that creates an ‘L’ footprint. This design often allows for additional living space such as an extended kitchen or dining area.
You were referred to me by a friend and they were right. Quick, clean and just superb. Thank you for getting my extension done in time for Christmas.
The designers at Bespoke knew exactly the look that we were aiming for and were full of innovative ideas to make it happen. The tradesmen who worked on our project were efficient and courteous and really seemed to know what they were doing. We can’t believe the difference that the conversion has made to our home, and we can’t wait to show it off to everyone!
“I had used Bespoke Lofts in the past for another loft conversion; I was delighted with the previous work so it seemed natural to choose them again to create an office in my home. I was amazed at the floor space that was created, it’s made our working life much easier. I’m so pleased with the windows too and the amount of natural light, the room is positively bright and airy. It’s inspirational in fact!”
