Single Story Side Return Extension, Coliston Road, Putney, London

Brief: Design and build a single-story extension to create a larger kitchen and dining area for our clients in Coliston Road, Putney.

Following a free consultation at our client’s home, our experienced architects identified that a side return extension would be an ideal way to increase the space of the current kitchen and add additional dining space to this home in Coliston Road, Putney. 

After close consultation with our clients, our architects drew up the design plans for this kitchen extension. Once our clients were happy with the plans our team of experienced builders created this fantastic side extension within a quick timeframe.

This popular style of kitchen extension: the side return extension, can be built on any property that has a side alley space. It is an excellent way to add value to a home and create a spacious kitchen and dining space without having to eat into your existing garden space. 

As you can see from the images, this side extension has created a lovely light and airy kitchen and dining space. The use of the stylishly framed bifold doors along with the consecutive row of three Velux windows has allowed for optimal natural light into this inviting kitchen and dining room.

Bifold doors are a popular choice for our customers who are looking to create an open-plan kitchen space which effortlessly connects the garden and outdoor seating areas. Our clients in this case have made a real feature out of the doors by choosing a stylish black tile frame which enhances the look of the extension from the outside. 

Our clients have chosen traditional-looking cream kitchen units for their new kitchen extension. They have maximised the space with the use of cabinets both above and below the stylish work surface and the integrated oven, fridge and microwave creating a seamless flow to this kitchen space. The expansive kitchen island is a real feature of this kitchen. Seating four people comfortably, the white quartz worktop makes for the perfect space for evening meals or morning coffee with friends. 

Kitchen islands are a very popular kitchen style choice with our customers. Not only do they enhance the overall aesthetics, but they also provide additional functional cooking and storage space. Moreover, you have the option to incorporate a seating area into the island, making it even more versatile and suitable for a sociable family environment. 

To continue to enhance the light in the kitchen, spotlights have been carefully positioned above the worktop areas and island. This also helps to create two distinct areas within this extension space: the kitchen and the dining area.  

The strategic use of light wooden floors in both the kitchen and dining areas serves to connect these distinct spaces while imparting an inviting and refreshing ambience to the room. The flooring extends to the downstairs toilet, which has been ingeniously incorporated into the new extension area. This addition provides a practical family bathroom on the ground floor of the house while also increasing your property value.
