Home Extensions in Crownhill Milton Keynes

Loughton sits between Great Holm and Shenley Brook End and is characterised by the mix of housing that the Development Corporation built across this part of MK in the 1970s and 1980s. The area includes terraced houses semi-detached homes and larger detached properties — each with their own opportunities for extending. The terraced and semi-detached homes that make up much of Loughton are well suited to single storey rear extensions that open up the kitchen and ground floor living space. Many of these properties have reasonable-sized rear gardens and the standard plot dimensions mean we can often extend to 4 metres depth under Permitted Development without any planning application at all. Larger detached homes in Loughton — particularly those on the wider plots towards the edges of the grid square — have more scope for double storey extensions that add significant bedroom and bathroom space on the upper floor alongside extended living areas below. These projects require a full planning application to Milton Keynes City Council but we manage that process from initial drawings through to the decision notice. The clay-heavy subsoil common across this part of MK is something we plan for from the outset. Foundation specifications are confirmed before any price is agreed — so there are no surprises once work starts on site. We have completed three extension projects in Loughton — a single storey rear extension with French doors and a new ground floor bathroom, a large two storey extension combining side and rear additions and a two storey side extension on a semi-detached property. All three demonstrate the range of work we deliver in this area. You can also browse our full portfolio of completed extensions across Milton Keynes.
