Kitchen Extensions and Extension Builders in Fenny Stratford

The housing closest to the old centre, along Aylesbury Street, Victoria Road and the streets between Watling Street and the canal, is largely Victorian and Edwardian: two and three bedroom terraces and semis with narrow frontages and long rear gardens. These properties extend very well to the rear. The classic project is to take out the back kitchen and outrigger and build a full-width rear extension that gives a proper open-plan kitchen and living space, often with a downstairs WC or utility tucked in. Party wall agreements and tight side access are part of the job on these streets, and we deal with both routinely. A kitchen extension here is almost always a full package: the build, the kitchen fitting, the plumbing, electrics, tiling and decorating, all by our own team.

Further out, Fenny Stratford has interwar and post-war semis and bungalows on larger plots, with the space for side extensions as well as rear ones. Converting a side garage and extending behind it to create a kitchen-diner and utility is a common brief, and for growing families a double storey side extension adds a bedroom and bathroom without losing garden.

The old centre of Fenny Stratford is a conservation area, which shapes materials and design on the historic streets, and the canal and the Watling Street frontage bring their own considerations. Being based minutes away, we can call round quickly for a site visit and our team wastes no time on the road each morning, which keeps costs down on local jobs.

Planning in the Fenny Stratford Conservation Area

Fenny Stratford is within the Milton Keynes City Council area. The old centre along Aylesbury Street and Watling Street is a conservation area, where side extensions and external materials are more tightly controlled, but rear extensions on the terraces still fall under Permitted Development up to 3 metres in most cases. Detached houses further out can go to 4 metres. Party wall notices are needed on nearly every terrace project and we serve them properly from the start. We confirm your position at the free initial visit.

Kitchen Extensions on Fenny Stratford Terraces

Replacing the back kitchen and outrigger with a full-width rear extension is the project we build most often on these streets, and it is a kitchen extension in the true sense: the build, the kitchen fitting, the plumbing, electrics, tiling and decorating all by our own team. Our article on whether a kitchen extension is worth it in Milton Keynes is a good read before you start.
