A side return is a space in your home that is separate from the living room, often sitting on the side of the kitchen, sometimes known as a ‘closet wing’ or ‘outrigger’. For 21st century living, where many homeowners are opting for bright, open-plan spaces, it’s a popular choice to extend into the side return to utilise space that was usually once forgotten. If you have a side return and would like to extend it, there are many things you can do to restore it as a worthwhile part of your home.
What do I need to consider when planning a side return extension?
Of course, it is tempting to fill a vacant space at the side of your home, especially if you live in London and space is limited anyway. However, there are a few things to consider before you continue the planning process such as: will extending my side return limit access to my garden? If you’re filling out the entire boundary, small things such as getting bins out the side of the house should also be considered. Once the potential setbacks have been smoothed out (a member of the Simply Extend team can help to identify any barriers that might stand in your way), you’re good to go with the extension.
