House extensions are a great way to increase the size and value of your home. Whether you need extra living space or want to add a luxurious master suite, a house extension can offer many benefits. In this blog post, we’ll explore why you should consider a house extension for your home and how it can improve the quality of your life.

If you are looking for more room in your house, then a house extension may be the best option for you. A house extension allows you to increase the size of your home and provides you with additional space for whatever you need it for. It can also help to increase the value of your home if you decide to sell it in the future.

You have plenty of options when it comes to a house extension. You can choose to build an additional room, such as a bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen. You could also opt for a conservatory or an outdoor living space, such as a patio or decking area. Whatever you choose, adding extra space to your home can make all the difference in how comfortable and inviting it is. Samuel Sheldon Ltd can assist with every aspect of the building process.

A house extension can help you bring more natural light into your home in several ways. Firstly, you can install larger windows or skylights that let in more natural light. Secondly, you can remove existing walls and knock through adjacent rooms to create an open-plan living space that allows more light to flow through your home. Lastly, you can add a conservatory or sunroom to your home, allowing more light to enter without compromising the structure of your home.

Not only does natural light make your home look more inviting and pleasant, but it also gives you the opportunity to reduce your energy bills by using natural lighting instead of relying on electricity. By incorporating natural lighting into your house extension, you’ll be able to maximize the amount of daylight entering your home and reap the rewards of increased energy efficiency.

When considering adding a house extension, you should always take into account any potential planning restrictions. Make sure you check with your local council and obtain any necessary permits before beginning work. With proper planning, a house extension can significantly improve the value of your home. You can apply for planning permission through your local council’s website. You’ll need to fill out a form that explains what you plan to do with your extension and provide supporting documents, such as drawings of the proposed design. The council may then request additional information, so it is crucial to provide accurate information and make sure all documents are up to date.

When making a decision, the council will consider factors such as the size and impact of the extension, how it might affect neighbours, and whether it is in keeping with the character of the area. If permission is granted, you will be able to start work on your project.
