If you need more space, but you are reluctant to sell up and move to somewhere bigger, then extending your current home is the other option that you have to gain more space. There are lots of ways to extend your home and it comes down to the space that you have available to you, what planning permission you can get, where you need the space to be and, of course, your budget.

Here are some of the ways that you can extend your home.

Single Storey Extension

If you want to add some more living space downstairs in your home, then this is the way to do it. You can extend to the side or the rear, as long as you have planning permission (or the work falls within permitted development), and you have lots of options when it comes to how you use the space. An architect will help you with this.

Garage Conversion

If you have a garage that you don’t really make the most of, then you can turn it into an extension of your home. Depending on the layout, you can use it to create a separate living area, enlarge a kitchen and create a utility room, or even turn it into a granny annexe.
