Rear House Extension
A Rear House Extension is one of the most popular and practical ways to increase living space by extending your home out into the garden. It involves building an extension at the back of your property — typically opening up the existing kitchen, dining, or living area — and is often used to create open-plan spaces or new functional rooms.
A Rear Extension adds new space to the back of your house — it typically extends from the original rear wall, integrating with the existing floor plan. These extensions are often single-storey but can also be two-storey depending on planning permissions.
