Extending your house may take several shapes. Consider extending upwards: sometimes there is already a first-floor roof to add on top of, while other times individuals will extend into the loft. Our home extension contractors in Morecambe can assist with all these types of projects.

Then there are subterranean areas to expand into, or one of the most popular, adding to the side of a house with anything from a first and second-storey addition to a conservatory or porch.

Making the Most of Outdoor Spaces

If you have a big yard, driveway, or area to the side of your home, expanding into it seldom takes away from your outside space while adding considerable benefits to your internal space. A conservatory, for example, might serve as an additional dining area while also highlighting a garden environment. Similarly, a porch does not often take up much area at the front of a home, but it may provide substantial storage and security benefits.

Providing Another Living Space

Often, as a family develops, the need for separate leisure areas increases. Having toys scattered about the space you use to relax, watch television, or do work or duties such as ironing might be inconvenient. Add to this the reality that the kids will most likely want to watch cartoons as you catch up on the newest headlines or soap storylines, and there will always be someone dissatisfied with only one living space.

Storage

Sometimes individuals extend their homes simply because they need more space. Take a porch; suddenly, you have somewhere to keep your shoes, boots, jackets, and so on. If you collect recreational equipment, having a dedicated space for them may help the rest of your home appear more spacious and orderly.

Making Lifestyle Changes

It may have become practical or essential for you to work from home, but a workstation in the living room or bedroom might have a significant detrimental influence on your ‘work-life balance’. Having an office space or equivalent where you can lock the door at the end of the day and only return during working hours ensures that your house remains your home rather than becoming your new place of employment. Our home extension contractors in Morecambe can help create additional living areas for a growing family.
