A single-storey extension is a great way to add valuable living space, whether for a larger kitchen, home office, or family room. It can enhance your property’s functionality and increase its market value while creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Pros: ✅ More space for modern living ✅ Adds value to your property ✅ Easier planning permission compared to multi-storey extensions ✅ More affordable than a two-storey build Cons: ⚠️ Reduces garden space ⚠️ Potential disruption during construction ⚠️ Costs can rise depending on materials and complexity ⚠️ Some properties may have structural or planning restrictions To ensure your extension is both stylish and practical, working with an experienced architect is key.
