Home Extensions in Crownhill Milton Keynes

The area sits between Shenley Church End and Two Mile Ash and covers a broad mix of property types. The Development Corporation-era homes that make up much of central Crownhill tend to be well-built detached and semi-detached houses with reasonable-sized plots — which makes them well suited to rear extensions and side extensions. Streets feeding off Downland and Midsummer Boulevard have seen a number of our projects over the years and the results speak for themselves. More recent phases of Crownhill development towards Grange Farm and Oakhill brought a different style of housing — larger and often more architecturally considered. These properties can accommodate more ambitious extension schemes including double storey additions that add significant floor area without compromising the garden. We have completed both single storey rear extensions and larger combined schemes in Crownhill. The finished results range from contemporary open-plan kitchen-diners with sliding and bi-fold aluminium doors to more traditional additions that sit quietly alongside the original structure. Both approaches work well depending on the property and the brief. Crownhill sits within Shenley Church End parish and planning applications go to Milton Keynes City Council. Most rear and side extensions fall within Permitted Development which removes the need for a formal planning application entirely. Where full planning is required — typically for double storey schemes or properties on corner plots — we manage the process from drawing to decision.

Our two completed projects in Crownhill — the Modern Home Extension in Crownhill and the Single Storey Rear Extension in Crownhill — give a clear picture of the standard of finish we deliver in this area.
