Many people choose to extend their homes to make room for a growing family or to customise their space to better suit their family's needs. If this sounds like you, MY Carpenter Ltd is here to help you get the most from your extension. Below, we look at a few ways house extensions can be used to create the perfect family home in Basingstoke, Winchester or further afield.
If, after reading this blog, you’re ready to get your house extension underway, or want further ideas and advice, please get in touch with MY Carpenter. We provide fully managed projects, including property extensions, various loft conversion styles and other building work.
It might seem like a small addition, but a boot room or utility room can make a big difference to your home. Just think: no more coats, shoes and bags cluttering the hallway. You can also include storage for things like umbrellas, wellies and dog leads. Plus, you don’t need a large extension to achieve this; a small side extension can be plenty to create ample storage space.
Your boot room could even double as a utility room, with a washing machine, tumble dryer and space for a clothes airer, making family laundry a breeze.
Adding another bathroom can help avoid arguments and rushing in the morning. It also means people don’t have to go up and down the stairs all day. Furthermore, a downstairs toilet is much more convenient when potty training toddlers.
Guests visiting your Winchester or Basingstoke home can also make use of a downstairs bathroom.
House extensions are ideal for creating more open layouts, especially when combined with further interior alterations. An open-plan space is more sociable and can make it easier to spend time together as a family.
The open layouts created by MY Carpenter are also flexible to the diverse needs of the family and can quickly become a hub of the home.
Parents need their own space where they can relax. This should be an adult space free from toys and other children’s items, and a master suite is ideal. This could be a bedroom with an en suite, walk-in wardrobe or both. You could also opt for a lounge area.
A master suite gives your home dedicated areas for children and adults, helping to manage stress and well-being. Furthermore, with a double-storey extension, you can create valuable space downstairs as well.
Families in the Basingstoke and Winchester areas could also consider these house extensions:
