By combining a rear extension with a side return extension, you can create a bright, open-plan living space that gives your family more room to enjoy everyday life. The kitchen is the heart of any home so it makes sense to add space here, whether your family is expanding or you’re seeking to add value to your home.
A wraparound extension can create a larger kitchen, a spacious dining area, a family room, or a multifunctional living space. It can unlock the full potential of your property without the stress of moving, bringing in incredible natural light along with increased floor space.

A wraparound extension combines two popular extension styles:
Together, they create an L-shaped extension that dramatically increases the footprint of your ground floor.
This type of extension is especially popular with Victorian and Edwardian homes across London, where unused side return space can be transformed into valuable living space.
The side return space is the narrow, often unused alleyway running along the side of the ground floor of terraced or semi-detached homes. It typically sits alongside the rear “outrigger” kitchen, creating an L-shaped garden. It is frequently used for storing bins, bikes, or as a walkway – and if that space is going to waste then please let us help you get more from it!
The result is often:

Small kitchens and separate dining rooms can feel dark and restrictive. A wraparound extension allows you to open up your home and create a spacious layout that works for modern family life.
From entertaining guests to spending more time together as a family, the additional space can completely transform how you use your home.
A well-designed wraparound extension can significantly increase the value of your property while making it more attractive to future buyers.
For many homeowners, extending is a more cost-effective alternative to moving to a larger property in London. Side returns are often underused areas that offer huge potential. Combining this space with a rear extension allows you to make the most of your property footprint.
There is nothing like flooding your living space with natural light. From skylights to Crittall-style windows, we can do it all.
A well designed wraparound extension helps create bright, welcoming spaces that feel connected to the garden and outdoors.

You should be aware that some London wraparound extensions may require planning permission depending on the size of the extension, your property type, your location in London and therefore your local authority, and whether your home is in a conservation area.
Our team can guide you through the process and advise on what permissions may be required before work begins. We aim to make the entire process as straightforward and stress-free as possible!
