Different Types of Home Extensions to Fit Your Luxury Property

When it comes to adding value to your home, luxury home extensions are a choice investment. CS Creative Spaces are experts in creating bespoke extensions that bring your home to the forefront of modernity. In this article, we will explore various types of home extensions, including rear extensions, side return extensions, wrap-around extensions, and more.

Rear Extensions

Rear extensions are one of the most popular types of home extensions. They involve extending the back of the house, typically creating additional space for a dining room, living room, or an open-plan kitchen. These extensions are ideal for homes with substantial garden space and can significantly enhance the living experience of your ground floor. With options like sliding doors and bi-fold doors, you can create a less defined boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces, maximising natural light and improving accessibility.

Side Return Extensions

For homes with unused pathways or side gardens, side return extensions are an excellent option. This type of extension fills in the narrow space alongside your house, effectively widening your existing rooms and creating a more spacious interior. Side return extensions are perfect for transforming narrow kitchens into open-plan kitchens or adding extra living space without sacrificing the main garden area. These extensions often require planning permission, so it’s vital to consult with a professional like CS Creative Spaces to ensure compliance with local regulations.

Wrap Around Extensions

Wrap around extensions combine both rear and side return extensions to create an L-shaped addition. This type of extension offers a versatile solution for larger homes. Wrap around extensions can accommodate various uses, such as extending the kitchen, adding a new living room, or even creating a dedicated dining room. The L-shaped design is sure to add not just value to your home, but a greater sense of breathing room in your day-to-day life.

Double-Storey Extensions

By extending both the ground floor and the first floor, double-storey extensions can add multiple new rooms, such as additional bedrooms, bathrooms, or even a new living room. They are an excellent way to accommodate a growing family or create a more balanced living environment. However, these extensions typically require planning permission and careful structural planning to ensure stability and compliance with building regulations.

Single-Storey Extensions

Single-storey extensions are a popular choice for homeowners looking to add extra space on the ground floor. Whether you’re looking to expand your kitchen or create a new living room, single-storey extensions offer a straightforward solution. What’s more, these extensions often fall under permitted development rights, meaning they might not require planning permission. This will depend on their size, and impact on the surrounding area.

Loft Conversions

Loft conversions are an excellent way to utilise often unused attic space and transform it into a bonafide room of its own. With the addition of skylights or dormer windows, you can ensure this once gloomy space is filled with natural light – as is only appropriate for a room closest to the sun!

Glass Extensions

For homeowners seeking modernity above all else, glass extensions are the perfect choice. These extensions use large panes of glass to create a stunning, light-filled space that places your garden front-and-centre. Ideal for creating contemporary relaxation spaces for chatting long into the night, glass extensions will add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any home. They also enhance the sense of space and light, making your home feel larger and more open.
