Home Extensions in Beanhill Milton Keynes

Beanhill sits between Netherfield and Coffee Hall in the centre of Milton Keynes and was developed in the late 1970s as part of the original Development Corporation masterplan. The area is known for its distinctive low-rise housing — a mix of terraced homes and some semi-detached properties that were designed with communal green spaces between them. It is one of the more characterful parts of central MK and one that rewards a builder with genuine local knowledge.

The terraced properties that make up the majority of Beanhill are well suited to single storey rear extensions that transform the ground floor layout. The typical rear kitchen of a Beanhill terrace — compact and separated from the living space — benefits enormously from even a modest rear extension that opens up the ground floor into a single connected kitchen and dining area. Most properties here extend to 3 metres under Permitted Development without any planning application.

Beanhill borders Netherfield and Coffee Hall — areas with a similar housing stock and planning picture. That continuity of local knowledge means we understand the specific conditions of your area before we arrive at your door.
