Wrap Around Extension Nottingham
What is a wrap-around extension?
Wraparound extensions merge together a rear extension with a side return extension to form an L-shaped extended living area. With expert design and construction, it can produce a major upgrade to the habitable space on the ground floor of your home. This type of extension combines the side return which is more often than not a wasted strip of unused land that runs down the side of your property with an area of your back garden. Together this can give you some great options in designing a fantastic larger downstairs single storey extension. Due to the actual shape and structure of these type of extensions, the pitched roof with Velux shaped windows work well with assisting to tie in the wrap-around extension into the house. It is also an opportunity to do something a bit out the ordinary with the design features. These tall ceilings in these properties give you other options to create some modern and contemporary designs as opposed to the usual traditional types. Installing large bi-folding doors opening out onto your garden and steep rendered walls add a really fantastic effect of space and natural light, against your original home, while giving your family more room for their ambitions and living!

With wraparound architecture, you can re-arrange the layout of other parts of your house as needed without having boundaries or corners that get in the way. You’ll find it much easier to create an open plan living area with clever planning, design and structural implementations.
