Your Essential Guide to Home Extensions in Leicestershire

Planning a home extension is exciting, and here in Leicestershire, it's one of the best ways to add value and space.

This guide covers everything you need to know, from initial design ideas to project completion

Types Of Home Extensions

Below are a few of the main types of home extensions I provide for both my clients and see in the home extension industry, but whatever your extension needs I provide a full design & build service to help you bring your home extension project to life.

Single Storey Extension

Planning a single storey extension in Leicestershire? This is a versatile way to add a dream kitchen extension or open-plan family room. I would advise that many designs fall under Permitted Development rights, avoiding a full planning application. I work with you through the process.

Rear Extensions

Rear extensions are perfect for creating stunning open-plan living in Leicestershire. They are ideal for large kitchen-diners that connect your home to the garden. I provides expert advice on structural design and planning to build your perfect family hub.

Two Storey Extension

A two storey extension can transform your Leicestershire home, adding bedrooms and maximizing ground-floor living space. It's often more cost-effective than moving. I provide experts advise on planning permission and design, ensuring the new addition adds significant value and blends seamlessly with your home.

Side Return Extensions

A side return extension cleverly reclaims 'dead' space, ideal for Victorian or terraced homes in Leicestershire. This build transforms a narrow alley into valuable interior space, creating a wider, light-filled kitchen or dining area. As an Architectural Designer I advise on the best way to unlock this potential.

Key Considerations for your home extension.

Understanding Leicestershire planning permission is vital. Many house extensions are possible under Permitted Development rights. I work check local Leicester council rules to advise on the best route for approval.
