House Extensions Lanark

S&D Homes provide a full house extensions service to clients across Lanark.

Creating additional space in your current home opens up possibilities you might not have considered. Modern extension techniques can transform cramped properties into spacious family homes without the stress and expense of moving house.

Ground floor extensions work particularly well for kitchen and dining improvements. Removing walls between existing rooms and extending into garden space creates wonderful open-plan living areas perfect for modern family life. Large glazed openings bring garden views indoors while maintaining separation from outdoor weather.

Two-story extensions maximize the space gained from building work. Adding bedroom and bathroom facilities upstairs while extending kitchen areas below gives growing families room to spread out. Careful design ensures new spaces feel integrated rather than stuck-on.

Side-return extensions suit terraced properties especially well. These narrow spaces between houses often serve no useful purpose, but extension work can incorporate them into enlarged kitchens or dining rooms. The extra width makes a dramatic difference to how spacious rooms feel.

Wraparound extensions combine rear and side additions into comprehensive home transformations. While more expensive than single-direction extensions, they create generous living spaces that rival much larger properties. This approach often proves more cost-effective than moving to bigger homes.

Permission requirements vary significantly depending on extension size and location. Permitted development rights allow many extensions without full planning applications, but restrictions apply near boundaries, in conservation areas, and on listed buildings. We navigate these requirements to keep your project moving forward.

Design quality distinguishes professional extensions from amateur attempts. Proportions, materials, and detailing all contribute to creating additions that enhance rather than detract from your property's value. Investment in good design pays dividends when you eventually sell.
