With relocating not being for everyone, homeowners are turning to extensions to maximize their existing space. Especially in city locations, space is a luxury, and upsizing can incur unrealistic costs so looking into expanding your home with an extension can be the resolution you need to gain the desired space. In addition to giving you extra space to enjoy from day to day, an extension is very likely to increase the value of your property when it comes to selling.
The type of extension you choose is dependent on a variety of factors, ranging on the abilities with your property to your budget and personal requirements. A well-designed and built extension is shown to increase the desirability of a property, creating extra living space which opens up the property to larger families or those looking to upsize.
Double Storey Extensions
A double storey extension expands a home across two levels, creating new space both upstairs and downstairs to maximize the potential of a property. Whether you are looking to extend existing rooms or create brand new ones, a double-storey extension brings a significant amount of new space to enlarge a home. This method is popular for growing families, creating new bedrooms and space for the family to enjoy day to day in the comfort of their own home.
Single Storey Extensions
Similarly to above, a single-storey extension adjoins to property but only across a single floor. This type of extension is popular for creating an extra room at the rear or side of a home, with opportunities ranging from a dining room to a new bathroom. Although the extension will extend into the garden space, having extra space within the home can make a huge difference on day-to-day life and patio doors will make a great transition from the home to garden space.
Basement Extensions
Where building on the side or rear of a property is not an option due to space, a basement extension makes use of existing space. Transforming your basement into a liveable space can create a whole new layer to your home, increasing the size of your home without the need for an extension on the outside of a house. Basements are often viewed as a dark and damp space but with some work, this area can bring a lot of value to a home and family. Because there will be no natural light, popular choices for basement extensions include playrooms for children, an office where you can get your head down or even a home gym.
Garage Extensions
For many homeowners, a garage is essential. Having an area to store all of your garden equipment, park your car or set up your own home workshop can provide great value, both to the property itself and to the homeowner’s lifestyle. There are various options when it comes to a garage extension, from creating an extension to your existing home to building a standalone garage elsewhere on a property’s grounds.
