Is your property bursting with unfilled potential? The truth is that many homes today, especially in Kent, have a wealth of additional space to the side or rear that simply isn’t being used to the best of its ability. It’s wasted space which could not only be enhancing your living environment, but also adding value to your property. By adding a single-storey extension and incorporating this dead space into your home, you could find that you’re able to create your dream house without the stress of selling and moving.
What is an extension?
An extension acts as an addition to an existing building. It creates a brand new room that’s seamlessly connected to your property, as though it’s been there all along. It’s a fantastic way to derive greater value from unused outdoor spaces. Extensions are one of the most popular methods for creating a more spacious living environment. They’re especially suited to families who find that their homes are no longer meeting their needs, even though they love the house and don’t want to move.
Ultimately, an extension isn’t just about creating more space. It’s a way to help you get the most from your land, and add extra value to your home. Extensions offer a great return on investment.
What Can an Extension be Used For?
Having worked in building renovations for more than 15 years, we’ve seen extensions being utilised for absolutely everything. Uses include making everyday family life that little bit easier, creating jaw-dropping entertainment spaces, and maximising storage capacity. Here are just a few ideas for some inspiration:
- A new kitchen, designed exactly the way you want it
- A home office to increase productivity
- A more spacious dining room to comfortably accommodate the whole family
- An extra bedroom for growing families
- A home cinema; the ultimate place to relax and unwind
- A games room, complete with retro arcade machines
Are Extensions Permitted?
The great news for homeowners is that, under the new relaxed planning laws, many extensions fall under permitted development. This means that they can be built without the need for planning permission providing they’re under 6 metres, or 8 metres for detached properties. However, if you’ve got your sights set on something bigger, we’ll take care of all aspects of local authority planning permission and building regulations on your behalf, handling the compliance side so you don’t have to.
