Single Storey Extension
Need More Space? Extend Your Home Without the Hassle of Moving
If your home is starting to feel a little tight but you’d rather not go through the stress and cost of relocating, a well-designed extension could be the perfect solution. Extending your property is often more affordable and far less disruptive than moving house.
Whether you’re considering a single storey, double storey, or wrap-around extension, Melrose Designs is here to guide you through every step. One of the most popular choices is a single storey kitchen extension, offering a modern, open-plan space that transforms how you live and entertain.
We’ll help you explore your options and create a design that fits your lifestyle, budget, and planning requirements—making the process smooth from start to finish.
Double Storey Extension
If your property layout allows, a two-storey extension is a smart way to significantly increase your living space without the need to move. By building upwards as well as outwards, you can create multiple new rooms—ideal for adding an extra bedroom, a second bathroom, or even a dedicated home office.
It’s a cost-effective way to future-proof your home and enhance both its functionality and value.
Wrap-Around Extension
A wrap-around extension combines both side and rear extensions to dramatically increase your ground floor space—perfect for open-plan kitchens, dining areas, or multifunctional family rooms. This type of extension is ideal for corner plots or properties with unused side return space. At Melrose Designs, we’ll help you unlock the full potential of your home with a design that flows naturally and enhances both function and style.
Open-Plan Kitchen Extension
An open-plan kitchen extension is one of the most transformative upgrades you can make to your home. It creates a bright, spacious environment perfect for cooking, dining, and entertaining—all in one seamless space. Whether you’re dreaming of a kitchen island, bi-fold doors, or a sociable family hub, Melrose Designs will craft a layout that enhances your lifestyle and adds lasting value to your property.
