4 Of the Best Ways to Extend Your Home

by Yours Tyleau Webmaster

When homeowners are asked “What is the one thing you would change about your property?” the most popular answer is always the same – more space! The majority of homeowners simply crave more space in their home or in certain spaces of their home

If you are finding your home simply doesn’t provide the level of space you need, upping roots and selling the property isn’t your only option. Adding an extension to the property can prove the most hassle free and cost effective solution in the long run.

As the leading specialists in house extensions Sydney wide, we’ve put together our top 4 suggestions regarding the best ways to extend your home:

1.       Extend to the side

Homes in Australia, especially older properties, were often constructed with a redundant strip of land on the property to the side/on both sides of the home. At best, it’s where your bikes are stored or your garden furniture has been tucked away.

That same underutilised space to the side of the property can be reclaimed and incorporated into an extension of the main property. Often this space runs alongside the kitchen or living areas, which are two of the key rooms where homeowners tend to most need extra space. Depending on building permissions, extending to the side may allow you to construct a single or double story extension.

2.       Extend to the rear

The most common way to extend the home is to the rear. Again, from what we’ve seen managing projects across several home extensions Sydney wide, the space this extension will take up will likely just be underutilised in its current state.

You could well still be left with a garden large enough for relaxing, play time or entertaining after your extension is complete yet have greater space to play with inside the home. A single storey rear extension can be a relatively straight forward project.

3.       Consider a wrap-around extension

Your extension doesn’t exclusively have to be located to either the side or the rear of the property. If you have the space, a wrap-around extension running along the side to the front and or rear of the home can significantly increase the size of your home and give you the creative freedom to truly create the kitchen, living, dining or bedroom space you always wanted.

4.       Add a conservatory

Perhaps one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to extend your home is to add a conservatory. Bring the outside in by adding a glass-based extension, creating a room that can be used all year round. Conservatories are proven to increase the value of properties as property buyers view them as an additional room in the home.

Upgrading, adding value and getting greater joy from your home can all be achieved simply by adding an extension. It’s the simplest way to transform your home on a budget!
