Home Extensions in Kents Hill Milton Keynes

Kents Hill sits between Monkston and Wavendon Gate in the east of Milton Keynes and was developed primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The area features a strong mix of detached and semi-detached family homes on well-proportioned plots — properties that were built with quality in mind and are now at the point where families want more space without the cost and disruption of moving.

The detached homes that make up a significant portion of Kents Hill offer genuine scope for single storey rear extensions that transform the ground floor living space. Gardens here tend to be a good depth and most detached properties extend comfortably to 4 metres under Permitted Development — no planning application and no waiting on a council decision.

Semi-detached homes in Kents Hill are equally well suited to extending. A single storey rear or side addition creates the extra space that growing families need — a larger kitchen a utility room or a dedicated home office — all within Permitted Development on most plots. The consistent build quality and plot sizes across the area mean we can price accurately from the initial site visit without surprises further down the line.

Some properties in Kents Hill were built with restrictive covenants or planning conditions that affect permitted development rights. We check all of this at the initial site visit before any design work begins.
