The best ground floor extensions for your home to increase its value
Extensions are one of the most effective ways of adding significant value to your home
Extending your home can be one of the very greatest things you can do as a buyer of your new home, or indeed as a seller, potentially saving you great sums of cash. Your house extension could add as much as 15% more market value. The flexibility of creative freedom extensions can offer new buyers should never be underestimated. Here is our guide to the most popular, greatest extension ideas.
Conservatories
Although many properties do already have conservatories attached to the new home, there are some shrewd advantages to having the conservatory extension built yourself. Having it installed yourselves affords you creative freedom over the style, size and height. A buyer inheriting a conservatory might not like what’s already there; then again, it’s much more expensive to have a conservatory knocked down and a new one built. The latter, however, should add significant value to your home.
Additional reception rooms
If you find you only have enough room within your plot for one extra reception room, you may decide to opt against a conservatory and go for a separate dining room, a playroom for the children, perhaps a large office space, or a games room accommodating enough space for a pool table. The ground floor offers more options than upper floors, and if you require extra living space an additional reception room, perhaps with an open plan layout to your kitchen, can add flow and precious space for entertaining.
Integral garages
Parking is not an insignificant factor for any driver when looking for their new home, and perhaps the addition of a garage can not only provide much needed extra parking, but versatility too, having it be an occasional gym, storage area or workshop, especially if the vehicle in question is a motorcycle rather than a car. Having the garage attached means you’d be able to access the garage from inside, which would, again, increase the level of flow throughout the ground floor.
