Are you looking to transform your home with a modern, open-plan living area? A side return extension might be just the solution you need.
A side return extension maximises the unused space along the side and rear of your property, often in the narrow alley between two neighbouring homes. This is a space that is frequently overlooked and can be transformed into a functional and spacious part of your living space. Perfect for homes with smaller gardens, these extensions create additional living space without taking up too much of your outdoor area, making them a practical and stylish option for many homeowners.

Don't move. Extend in style

We can save you the hassle that comes with moving not to mention the heavy stamp duty! Adding an extra loft bedroom or enlarging the living kitchen dining space on ground floor is an economical way of transforming your home to suit growing needs. The projects can range from £40-100K depending on your requirements and can be completed within 8-16 weeks.

“Originally, we’d planned on this being a property to rent out to others. Since the loft conversion, we’ve fallen back in love with the place – and have now decided to move back here.”

Frequently Asked Questions

The urban landscape of London has a rich stock of residential property. The terraced and semi-detached homes of Edwardian and Victorian origin had their hay day long ago. Now people want change and space for new possibilities that define modern life. Everyone is looking to improve their home, and nothing improves it better than space. Side return extensions London bring out the best in your home with an unprecedented potential for change. All Victorian terraced houses have a pathway that runs along the side, forming an L shaped garden. It is a place usually reserved for the bins and disused and discarded items. Building out on to this strip of land is called a side return extension. By knocking through interior walls, you can create one combined space or leave it separated with an indoor entrance. Whichever you choose, this method offers extra floor space for you to use. Usually, Side Returns are used for kitchen extensions to achieve an open-plan design that integrates the kitchen with a dining area, but your creativity doesn’t have to stop there.
