Bespoke Bungalow Kitchen Extensions

The type of kitchen extension constructed is based largely on the space added within the property and the extension created. Extensions suited to bungalows include:

Rear extensions

Built on the rear of the property, these extensions offer incredible space and views for your kitchen or dining area. With bi-folding, glazed doors, you can help bring the outdoors in, or even create an alfresco-style dining area that is ideal for entertaining.

Side return extensions

These extensions utilise the area that runs along the side of a property along with a portion of the rear. They do not use too much of the valuable garden space and therefore, are highly-valued by homeowners.

Side return extensions help create beautiful indoor-outdoor connections that are much sought-after in modern dining rooms.

Wrap around extensions

A combination of rear and side extensions, wrap around extensions add incredible space to your home. The width and depth added can be utilised to design an open plan kitchen, a walk-in pantry, or a large dining room.

Double-storey extensions

Multi-storey extensions may be used for more than creating additional bedrooms upstairs. They are perfect for expanding your kitchen, designing an open plan living are, or even creating high-ceilinged dining areas.

Like most home extensions, kitchen extensions in bungalows will not require planning permission if they meet the criteria for permitted developments. These criteria and specifications include:

• The property must not be listed or located in a conservation area.
• Side extensions must be single-storied and must not exceed more than half the width of the original house.
• Extensions must not be higher than the highest part of the existing roof.
• The materials used on the exterior of the extension must be similar in appearance to the materials used on the exterior of the original house.
• Extensions must not take up more than half the land around the original house.

If the extension does not fall under permitted developments, planning permission will be required. This process involves the submission of a comprehensive application which can take up to 8 weeks for approval.

Good Design and Build oversee this entire process for our clients. From the initial survey and submission of detailed plans, to coordinating with the local council and securing the requisite approvals.

This allows homeowners to enjoy a stress-free kitchen extension experience.

Being the heart of a home, the kitchen should ideally be designed to be warm, well-lit, and welcoming. Some of the best examples of kitchen extensions therefore feature:

The open plan kitchen

A favourite of modern homeowners, the open plan kitchen usually features a living area, dining room, and kitchen within a single space that is inclusive and barrier-free.

Kitchen-conservatory combo

When your kitchen opens to the outside, as most bungalows do, integrating the space with a conservatory helps maximise the bright, airy feel and creates the perfect spot for hosting and entertaining.

The ultimate modern kitchen

Incorporating clean, sleek lines, and the latest fittings, helps create the ultimate contemporary kitchen full of modern conveniences. A minimalist design together with a light colour palette, also makes the kitchen look bigger and brighter, allowing you to create a welcoming space for your family.

The cost of kitchen extensions in bungalows depends on a number of factors. Namely:

• The size of the extension
• The type/ complexity of the extension
• Location
• Groundwork
• Building materials
• Fittings and fixtures
• Specialists’ fees

For example, a relatively simple extension involving the installation of rooflights and bi-folding doors to create a brighter space may be cost-effective; whereas an extensive extension which includes the installation of the latest fittings and appliances would be more costly. As such, the cost of a kitchen extension can range from £35,000 to £100,000.

It is therefore a good idea to plan a budget that takes these factors into consideration in order to create the best possible extension.
