Choose a Kew Kitchen Extension Specialist

Tudors, Stuarts, and Georgians all influenced Kew architecture. It is also home to the Kew House, both a futuristic and primordially influenced construction. Whichever the style of house you own, there’s an extension for it.

Side Return

Terraced and semi-detached homes, typically Victorian and Edwardian properties, have unused fringed spaces that can accommodate an extension to the side. By knocking through an existing wall, the kitchen space can stretch a bit further and can become open-plan. A larger kitchen can provide you with an adequately spacious dining area.

Rear Extension

These extensions extend from the back of the house towards the back garden. They can run the full breadth of your property. You can incorporate the garden into the new kitchen by extra-wide patio doors that open onto the outdoors. It is also ideal to set up al fresco dining options.

Wraparound or L-Shaped Extension

It combines both a long Side Return and a Rear extension. You are not just extending kitchen proportions but also add extra living space with this addition. Wraparounds do not require you to sacrifice much garden space to get enough extra room.

Double Storey Extensions

You do not need to limit your home extension just to the ground floor. Double Storey extensions allow more flexibility to create space both on the ground floor and on the top floor. You can add a new bedroom or a bathroom on the top floor with a kitchen extension on the ground floor. Under new rules, these fall under Permitted Developments for detached homes. Semi-detached homes will need planning permission.

Permitted Development applies for house extensions, which means you do not need planning permission as long as you follow recommended limitations and conditions. These include;

• Not living on designated land
• Not living in a listed building
• Extensions cover only half the land area
• Extensions are not higher than the highest part of the roof or the eaves
• No alterations to the existing roof

Wraparound and Two-Storey Side extensions need planning permission. You also require Party Wall Agreements.

Therefore, if you are wondering how much value a kitchen diner extension adds in comparison to other styles such as semi-detached kitchen extensions or open plan extensions, it’s essential to consider the potential increase in living space and overall functionality that these designs offer For instance, a new open-plan kitchen can add 6% to property value. A single-story extension with a kitchen and dining area can add 11%. A Wrap-around kitchen can even increase the value by 15%. A double extension with a kitchen and en suite can make your property worth 20% more.

Suitability is the best place to start. Finding out whether you need planning permission is the first requirement. Property inspection by experienced professionals helps identify your choices to extend and suitability to build. Learning about the total cost of each extension early on will help you decide on a budget.
