End terrace houses or end-of-terrace houses are a valuable and popular style of housing in most cities and can be the perfect first home for many families. However, like most Victorian and Edwardian homes, end-of terrace homes have certain restrictions such as limited space and not enough natural light.

To combat this, homeowners can opt for the cost-effective solution of extending their end terrace houses to maximise space and style while keeping the charm of Victorian architecture intact.

And to get the best home extension for your end terrace house, it is crucial to find the best home extension specialists to design and create your dream extension.

An end terrace house extension is the perfect solution to the dilemma of inadequate living space in your otherwise faultless end terrace home.

The home extension helps to create larger living areas, modernises the space, and increases the value of your home. This is incredibly valuable to homeowners who do not wish to incur the cost or inconvenience of move houses.

End terrace houses are similar to semi-detached homes in that they are both attached to one other property. As such, many types of home extensions found in Victorian terraced houses are similar to those found in semi-detached homes. These include:

Rear extensions – A popular option for many homeowners due largely to the amount of space available at the rear of most properties and also due to the versatility offered by rear extensions.

These are ideal for creating larger kitchen and dining areas, or even adding an extra room or bathroom on the ground floor.

Side-return extensions – These extensions run along the side of a property and a portion of the rear. Side return extensions are excellent options for homeowners looking to retain garden space.

This type of extension is also a clever way of incorporating indoor-outdoor connections for kitchen-diner areas and help bring in a lot of natural light via skylights or the addition of bi-folding doors.

Multi-storey extensions – Multi-storey extensions in Victorian terraced houses are perfect for adding extra bedrooms thereby adding substantial value to the house.

Two-storey extensions are often preferred to single-storey extensions as they effectively double the square footage without doubling the roofing and excavation costs.

Planning permission may not be required if your house extension meets the criteria and specifications of permitted developments.

Permitted developments do not include:

  • Extensions constructed on homes located in conservation areas
  • Extensions which do not meet the specific size and height limitations

Extensions that do not fall under permitted developments do require planning permission.

The process of applying for and securing planning permission may take up to eight weeks depending on the complexity of the extension. The application requires detailed diagrams of the proposed extension including structural calculations.

In addition to planning permission, building regulations approval is also a requisite to ensure the extension complies with building guidelines.

Another aspect of creating extensions in end terrace homes is the Party Wall Act. Complying with its procedures enables homeowners to construct their extensions without obstructing or invading neighbouring properties thereby resolving any disputes.

With many factors such as space available, budget, and practicality coming into play, the final design for your home extension should be about maximising the potential of your home.

Some popular home extension styles involve:

Loft conversions– These are an excellent alternative to multi-storey extensions for creating extra bedrooms. Loft conversions are also wonderful in creating increased living spaces from previously unused areas.

An important aspect of loft conversions is to determine the height and pitch of the roof so that it remains cost-effective while adding value to the house.

Kitchen extensions- With most Victorian terraced houses featuring small kitchen and dining areas, kitchen extensions are very popular among end terrace homeowners.

Kitchen extensions can dramatically alter the appearance of the favourite room in the house and convert a small kitchen into a warm and inviting area ideal for hosting dinners and celebrations.

Refurbishments- Even without an extensive extension, the desired effect of increased living space can be achieved through remodelling and refurbishing.

This could include changing the layout of the home to create an open floor plan. This can be accomplished by removing walls, merging rooms, or adding partitioning doors or windows.

All of this allows homeowners to enjoy larger, more modern, open spaces which optimises the natural light creating bright and vibrant rooms.

An end terrace home extension must be carefully planned so that its cost does not exceed the value it brings to the house. As most home extensions increase the value of the property by 10-20%, its cost must be well below this amount.

An end terrace home extension can cost between £25,000 to £130,000. However, this value is dependent on several factors such as:

  • The type of extension
  • The size of the extension
  • Location
  • Groundwork
  • Building materials
  • Fittings and fixtures
  • Specialists’ fees, etc.

As such, it is possible to design and build the ideal home extension for your end terrace home catering to your specific budget.

How we deliver projects

Our process is simple and divided into two distinct phases with separate contracts: Design and Build. As a client you only commit to one phase at a time depending on what stage of the process you are in. Each phase consists of three stages as described below.

1. Design

This is the kick-off point for your project. We carry out a complete architectural measured survey of the property. This allows us to create accurate CAD design drawings. This is followed by a design meeting to start discussing your ideas in more detail.

2. Planning

At this stage we finalise the designs with you and start preparing planning applications as needed. We place a high priority on ensuring that plans, designs and schedules are all based on a thorough and detailed understanding of planning guidelines. We co-ordinate with local authorities until the decision is made, and the planning approval is secured.

3. Technical

Once the planning consent is secured, we translate the design drawings into more detailed technical drawings for the purposes of building control and construction. This also includes specifications and structural calculations. At this stage, we will also submit to you our ‘no obligation’ quote for the build phase.

4. Pre-build

90% of our clients decide to stick with us after the design phase is completed. Once the build contract is signed, we kick off the process by making sure all the pre-build processes are complete. These include assistance with party wall agreements, Thames Water build over agreement, submitting building control application, and preparing method statements etc as needed. This stage ends with a pre-start meeting with your foreman before the actual build begins.

5. Build

One of our foremen will be dedicated to your project and will be on-site to manage everyday works. Our project managers will be overseeing the works to make sure they are completed to high standards, within your budget and on time. Throughout the process we will keep you updated with the progress and coordinate the works with third parties such as kitchen or flooring suppliers. We will also advise and guide you to choose any suppliers if needed.

6. Handover

As the build draws to finish, we will help to iron out any ‘snags’ to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction. We will put together all necessary certificates such as gas, electricity and building control completion along with warranties for glazing, boiler etc. At the final completion meeting, we will hand you these documents, together with the keys to your house. Needless to say, you can contact us any time after this, if you want us to look at something.
