Design Guide: Types of Extension

A well-planned extension has the potential to turn even the humblest of homes into a comfortable, stylish and light-filled property.

With the right design and execution, you can create a wonderful new zone that not only transforms the way you interact with your living environment, but also adds significant value.

One of the big advantages of adding more space to your existing home, of course, is that you won’t have to pay stamp duty or agents’ fees – which should free up more of your budget to put into creating a truly tailored space that suits your family.

That said, it’s important to keep future resale values in mind. One crucial consideration is how well-balanced the finished house will be. It’s all very well adding a kitchen-diner with two new bedrooms above, for example, but do you have enough bathrooms or ensuites to serve the extra accommodation?

Thinking through how the extension integrates with the rest of your home – and possibly remodelling the original ground floor layout – could help you make the most of your scheme. Follow our design guide to help you decide which extension type fits your space best.
