Single storey home extensions can be used to expand kitchen areas or to add a downstairs study or utility room.

Adding roof lamps and bifold doors to your home extension will generate a large airy space that provides a seamless transition into the garden. While single storey home extensions may appear less complicated than other types of extension, careful planning continues to be essential to make sure that the new space is useful and attractive. Professional architects and builders will be able to give you advice on the most effective design for your home extension, taking into account the specifications of the new space as well as the best way to complement the pre-existing building.

Elements that impact Single Storey Extension Costs

There are a few variables to bear in mind when you are setting your budget plan. The primary variables that affect the cost of a single storey extension are the size and the finish. But there are various other variables that it is worth remembering while you are making your strategies.

Very Expensive Groundworks Needed

If it is challenging to dig the foundations and lay the footing for your extension, after that this can boost the cost of your extensions. This may be the situation if the ground is difficult to work with. Debris in the ground can also elevate the costs.

  • Quality of Fixtures and Fitting
    After the size of the extension, the next largest factor is the caliber of the surface. Selecting premium options can bring about the last cost being more than double what it would be when selecting the fundamental choices.
  • Dimension of Extension
    When you are obtaining an extension on your home, the single largest aspect that will certainly impact the cost of your extension is the size of it. The larger the extension is, the a lot more you will certainly wind up paying. If the area inside the extension is simple, with no inner wall surfaces, then this will reduce the price per m2 slightly. Nevertheless, despite this in mind. The bigger the area of your extension, the extra you pay.
  • Sort of Extension
    The kind of extension you select will certainly go a long way towards determining just how big your extension will certainly be. Side return extensions create the smallest extra area so are often the most inexpensive option, while a wraparound kitchen extension will produce the most room as well as have the most high priced fittings as well as components.
  • Building Regulations
    In many cases, developing policies do not include a great deal of cost to a building task. Nevertheless, if you are constructing an extension onto an older home, there might be some unexpected prices. This is particularly real if the house has not just recently been updated. Building guidelines will relate to your whole home, not just the extension. This can result in the requirement for electrics to be considered or door changed.

 

Kitchen Extensions:

Kitchen extensions mainly fall under the realms of single floor extensions, although all sort of property extensions could be used to integrate extra room for a kitchen.

As an approximate overview, a single storey extension will set you back from ₤ 1,000 - ₤ 2,000/ m2, with a fundamental develop at the reduced end of the range as well as an excellent build top quality at the higher end at a variety, with prices of ₤ 2,500/ m2 plus.

Abbots Langley

Abbots Langley is a substantial village and civil parish in the English county of Hertfordshire. It is an old settlement and is brought up as Langelai in the Domesday Book of 1086. This village has an extensive history of successful human inhabitation. The initial traces of human inhabitation in the region were observed by celebrated archaeologist Sir John Evans. The village is located on a dish of clay covered by a layer of gravel, and consequently water supply has never been a problem; records reveal that in the past water could be drawn from a well just 20 feet deep. Economically, the village is closely linked to Watford and was previously part of the Watford Rural District. Since 1974 it has been included in the Three Rivers district. According to the 2001 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 10472. The more recent Katherine Place development has introduced several high class stores to the centre and it was sold for £2.93 million in December 2005. There are a variety of sports opportunities for residents, with the town being the location of a number of football and cricket clubs. Abbots Langley F.C., the local side who at present play in the West Herts Saturday League, utilise the facilities at the close-by Leavesden Country Park. To the south of the village are Leavesden Film Studios, on the former RAF and later Rolls-Royce airfield, where scenes from films such as Golden Eye, Sleepy Hollow and the Harry Potter series have been filmed. For all your house improvement work, make sure to select reputable pros in Abbots Langley to make certain of quality.

how much does a single storey house extension cost?

If you’re planning to build a single story house extension, this is one of the first questions that usually comes to mind to help you set a budget and start to make plans. But as simple as it seems, a single accurate answer can not be provided due to the fact that there are several variables that can play a key role in influencing the price of a single story house extension. These variables includes the size, location, design or specification as well as the build route. In this guide, we’ll provide you with a rough estimate that you can work with to put you on the right path.

The main determinant of the cost of a single storey extension is the size of the build, while the next most relevant factor is the quality of the finish you opt for. For a small extension, you can expect to spend a sum within the range of £14,000 to £17,000. Meanwhile for a larger single storey extension, if you opt for a large wrap around the extension with a great amount of glass to be incorporated in both the walls and roof, you can expect to pay a sum within the range of £80,000 to £120,000.

Overall, the average cost of a single story house extension is usually within the range of £34,000 to £37,000. For this price, you should get a standard sized rear or side extension which also includes the cost of a kitchen - it’s the most commonly use for a single story extension especially in the UK.

There are some additional costs you may also need to factor in to your extension budget. These includes surveys, architect fees, planning application fee (if needed), insurance and Party Wall Agreement (if needed).

do i need planning permission for a kitchen extension?

If you’re planning to construct a kitchen extension on your property, one of the first things that comes to mind is whether or not you’ll require a planning permission before you proceed. Generally, kitchen extensions are normally classified as permitted development which allows you to carry out your project without any interruptions from the law or your local authority. In other words, if your extension is meets up with the guidelines of the permitted development rights, you won’t have to apply for a planning permission. However if otherwise, you’ll have to apply for a planning permission to your local council and may require additional reports. And regardless of your position, you’ll always need building regulations approval before you can carry out any kitchen extension project. It may also be required that you’ll have to issue a part wall notice if you’re to build on or close to the boundary with a neighbour.

If you don’t want to go through the hassle and stress involved in applying for a planning permission with your local council, then you must ensure the following:

✓ Your kitchen extension must not be over half of the area of land around your main house.

✓ The kitchen extension must not be side elevation onto a highway or forward of the principal elevation.

✓ The extension must not be taller than the highest part of the roof.

✓ The height of your kitchen extension must not go beyond four metres.

✓ Kitchen extension that’s more than one storey must not go exceed the rear wall of the main house by more than three metres.

✓ Two storey kitchen extensions must not be closer to rear boundary by anything less than seven metres.

✓ The kitchen extension must not include balconies, verandas or any raised platforms.

does a single storey extension add value to your house?

Does A Single Storey Extension Add Value To Your House?

When you’re looking to construct a single storey extension or perhaps you’re just searching for means to increase the value of your property, this question always pops up. The short and simple answer to this question is a resounding yes, a single storey extension can go a long way to increase the value of your property. Just like any other home improvement, when done right, adding a little extra living space is one of the top things you can probably think of that’ll provide a cool increase in your property’s value. However, before you rush in you must also take note of some factors so you can be certain a single storey extension is the right option for you. These factors include the quality of the build, complexity of the build, cost of the build versus the value gain, ceiling price in the area, finance costs as well as the inconveniences and stress.

Generally, the average cost of a single storey extension can range from £34,000 to £37,000. For this price, you should get a standard sized rear or side extension which also includes the cost of a kitchen - it’s the most commonly use for a single story extension especially in the UK. So it’s important to know the value they’ll add to your house before deciding to make such an investment.

The value added to your property will depend largely on the quality and size of your single storey extension. The value is usually calculated by estate agents using the number of bedrooms, bathrooms as well as the floor area. Inside London, it’ll typically be priced at £5,000 to £10,000 per square metre, while outside London should be within the range of £900 to £2,000 per square metre.
