Everything you need to consider for a wraparound extension
If you’re thinking about getting a wraparound kitchen extension, it’s important to know what all the benefits are, what to look for in a contractor, and how much it’ll cost. Here are some things to consider before getting a wraparound kitchen extension:
Firstly, what is a wraparound extension?
A wraparound extension is a side return extension combined with a rear extension. The wraparound extension can provide maximum space and dramatically alter the feeling and shape of your home. If you want to achieve an open plan kitchen, dining area/family room in your home, then a wrap-around extension is the best option for you, although it may cost more than alternative types of home or kitchen extensions.
Will a wraparound kitchen extension suit what I am looking for?
A wraparound kitchen extension is great if you dream of a large open plan kitchen with dining and living space where the kids can play or do their homework while you get on with cooking dinner. A wraparound kitchen extension could allow you to have space for a high-spec kitchen with an island or breakfast bar and built-in appliances, opening out on to a dining area which in turn leads to a living area with views across your garden from your bi-fold or sliding doors.
If your family is growing and you need more living space, a wrap round extension can give you this by taking a bit of space from your garden and using the dead space in your property’s side alleyway. This helps to create new space while simultaneously making use of otherwise ‘wasted’ space such as corridors or under stairs. This can make a big difference to your home, giving you space for your expanding family as well as for entertaining and socialising with friends and relatives.
The benefits of wraparound kitchen extensions
One of the benefits of the wraparound extension is the ability to create a stronger connection to the garden. Many of our clients have opted to design indoor-outdoor spaces that bring the outside in. This is achieved by using a bi-folding floor to ceiling door, as well as skylights and roof glazing which let in plenty of natural light. Another way to achieve flow between your house and garden is to build a deck or patio that is on the same level as your home. Another benefit is that wraparound extensions are some of the largest types of extension that can be added to a home, as they make use of all available space to the side and rear of a property.
