subject: House Extensions In Cheshire, Stockport And Manchester [print this page] If you are looking to make more of the land around your house and expand your current property there are a number of different options available to you.
When it comes to home extensions in Manchester, Cheshire or Stockport the most common forms are as mentioned above a straight up extension adding on the existing house and utilising some of your existing land. This is what most people would commonly class as a home extension however it could be easily argued that a loft conversion or garage conversion is a home extension as they do take underused space at turn it something which can have constant purpose within your home such as a bedroom, dining room or perhaps an additional reception room.
Often people decided that with the amount of work involved in potentially converting their property to their desired size it may just be easier to move to a new house all together. If you have an emotional bond with your property be it a childhood home, your marital home or for whatever reason it could really hurt to leave it. This is where exploring the full potential of your property and land could save you the heartbreak of having to leave it behind.
So let us look at finding some space, the 2 most obvious places to convert in general would be lofts/attics and garages. Each of these would more likely be suited to specific purposes for example a loft often makes an ideal extra bedroom, depending on planning permission approval this could be achieved via way of ideally a dormer to create extra standing room or generally in the case of rejected planning Velux windows could be installed to bring natural light in to the loft space, the only drawback being standing room although this is different from loft to loft.
If you are looking for a ground floor home extension without having to add on the existing structure your strongest option would be converting your garage. Again house to house this could offer much different results, it may be decided that some garages are too small to really justify the benefits of conversion so speaking to an expert is highly recommended.
The final option is further determined by the land you have available and of course attaining planning permission. Our advice is to contact a company well reputed for home extensions in Manchester, Cheshire and Stockport and use their expert knowledge to plan your dream home extension.
