Single-Storey Extensions: Expand Your Living Space
A single-storey extension is an excellent way to enhance your home, providing you with additional space without the complexities of a multi-storey build. Whether you want a spacious kitchen, a serene lounge, or a vibrant playroom for your children, our single-storey extensions are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing home.
We pride ourselves on delivering quality craftsmanship, exceptional service, and beautiful results. Our goal is to ensure that your new space is not just an addition to your home, but a place where you create memories for years to come.
Benefits of Single-Storey Extensions
- Increased Natural Light: Large windows and open-plan designs allow for plenty of natural light, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
- Flexible Space: Customise the layout to suit your lifestyle—whether it’s an office, a dining area, or an entertainment area.
- Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than double-storey extensions, single-storey options often require less planning permission and shorter construction times.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most house extensions require planning permission, but some projects may fall under permitted development rights. Our experts can help determine the necessary permission for your specific project.
The timeline for a house extension depends on various factors, including the size and complexity of the project. Generally, single-storey extensions take around 8-12 weeks, while larger projects may take longer.
House extensions offer numerous benefits, including increased living space, enhanced property value, and the ability to create a home that suits your needs without the stress of moving.
Two-Storey Extensions: Maximise Your Home’s Potential
Looking to add more space and value to your home without the hassle of moving? A two-storey extension is the perfect solution. At Paddick, we specialise in designing bespoke two-storey extensions that seamlessly blend with your existing property while providing you with the extra room you need.
A two-storey extension offers significant advantages over other types of home extensions, making it a smart choice for homeowners who need extra living space. Here are some key benefits:
Why Choose a Two-Storey Extension?
- Increased Living Space: With two additional floors, you can create new rooms, whether it’s extra bedrooms, a home office, or an expanded kitchen and dining area.
- Cost-Effective: By building vertically instead of expanding the footprint, two-storey extensions are often more affordable per square meter compared to single-storey alternatives.
- Add Value to Your Property: A well-designed extension can significantly increase your home’s market value, making it a worthwhile investment in the long run.
Popular Two-Storey Extension Ideas
Two-storey extensions offer endless possibilities for expanding your home. Here are some popular ideas our clients love:
Extend your kitchen on the ground floor while adding extra bedrooms or a home office upstairs.
Turn your extension into a luxurious master bedroom complete with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.
Add a spacious family room or lounge on the ground floor with extra bedrooms or a playroom for the kids upstairs.
With more people working from home, a dedicated office space on the upper floor is a popular choice, while the downstairs can be transformed into a cozy guest suite.
