Ground floor semi-detached extension plan dilemma
Comments (13)Thank you for the replies. I have taken inspiration from a house nearby and really like the idea of a rear extension that opens up the back bedroom into a mezzanine area (which then becomes a home office / gym / laundry room. This requires the side extension to be of a higher height (~1.5 stories high) with a glass roof slanted towards the top of the mezzanine level. Given the back of our property is set down at a lower ground level than the neighbouring property by ~ 1.5 metres they will not be overlooked anymore than a regular 1 story side return. Do you think Lambeth will give planning for this kind of extension? bearing in mind we want to go back by 3m with a regular rear extension too. So it will essentially be a rear extension and side return (rather than a wraparound). The link to the photos of the house extension on the next street along that did this are here: https://www.zoopla.co.uk/property-history/8-northstead-road/london/sw2-3jw/18089869 The planning for this was granted back in 2004 so I can't find any docs related to it. Thanks fro your help!...See MoreGround Floor Victorian Flat Extension
Comments (0)Hi All, Looking for some help and advice on how best to build an extension in our ground floor victorian flat. We would love to somehow change the space into a two bed if possbile and add a dining area as we currently don't really have one. I'm attaching our floor plan which shows the layout currently. Our garden is large enough to extend into (the plan makes it looks very small but it's about 16m long x 5m wide) and might be what we need to do if we want an added bedroom but would love some suggestions on the space and configuration. Any help would be extrememly appreciated as we have no idea where to begin! Lauren...See Morereconfigure ground & first floor extension ideas
Comments (4)Hi Alison, I think with such a large project you should definitely be looking for someone to help with the planning phase. A concept planner or interior designer is probably the cheapest way - obviously, I can't talk about everyone's rates. My clients usually then find they have an idea of what they want and what's achievable, from a variety of options - which can then be taken to an architect. This generally cuts the costs of redo's down (and the package you need from an architect). There are a few tweaks I would make to Jonathans but this is definitely a great design to look at in more detail. I especially love upstairs and everything he has managed to get in as well as taking the garage to add a utility room and the office which is a really practical use of the space if you are converting. I am imagining the step-in at the back is a little like the garage and is there due to the boundary lines - so can't be changed. This means that the extension would be going across the existing back of the house. Maybe it is worth looking at if you can add a porch to the front too....See More1 Bed Victorian Ground Floor Flat Extension Help
Comments (4)Since other houses have already extended, I'd recommend looking at what they've done. If asking people to show you round seems too cheeky, a peek at previous sold prices on the big property websites often shows you the listings too. And it's worth a look at your council's website to see if you can access plans from planning permission applications....See More- 8 years ago
