Side Extensions

Much like a rear Extension a side extension represents all of the same characteristics, can be a single or multi-storey and is often chosen to utilize the space that the home owner has available externally. A side extension will extend beyond the original home, most commonly into the rear garden, on its side and form part of the existing house by way of a structural opening/s to make the addition seamless internally. These Extensions typically involve more work as larger structural openings are created to blend the old and new structures together. The increased width as to the dynamic or design of the finished space so it’s worth considering the completed look if you have a choice of a rear or side… if not both.

In London Victorian houses often have an L-shaped form looking like an addition. In an adjoined our terrace configuration this creates a natural rectangular alley space between these homes allowing for a side extension or what’s know as an ‘infill extension’ to be created.
