Home Extensions in Netherfield Milton Keynes

Netherfield sits between Fishermead and Beanhill 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 and pedestrian routes running between them. It is one of the more architecturally interesting parts of MK and one that requires a builder who understands the specific character of the housing stock.

The terraced properties that make up the majority of Netherfield are well suited to single storey rear extensions that transform the ground floor layout. The typical rear kitchen of a Netherfield 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.

Netherfield's distinctive architectural character means that extension design requires more care than in a standard suburban street. Materials need to sit comfortably alongside the existing structure. Roof lines need to be considered carefully. We address all of this at design stage — the result is an extension that feels considered rather than bolted on.
