Home Extensions in Oldbrook Milton Keynes

Oldbrook sits within Campbell Park parish and borders some of the most central parts of Milton Keynes. The area was developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s and features a mix of terraced houses semi-detached homes and some larger detached properties.

The terraced and semi-detached homes that make up much of Oldbrook are well suited to single storey rear extensions that transform the ground floor layout. Opening the kitchen into a larger open-plan living and dining space is the most common brief we receive in this area — and the consistent plot sizes mean we can plan and price accurately from the first site visit.

Some properties in Oldbrook have also benefited from above-garage extensions — adding floor area at first floor level without touching the garden. This is a more complex structural project but one we have delivered here successfully and it can add significant space on plots where a traditional rear extension would be limited.

We have completed three extension projects in Oldbrook including a single storey rear extension a building extension above the garage combined with a rear extension and a further residential extension.

Planning in Oldbrook

Most of Oldbrook's late 1970s and early 80s housing keeps full Permitted Development rights, so single storey rear extensions of 3 metres on terraces and semis, and 4 metres on detached houses, usually go ahead without an application. The above-garage extension we built here did need planning, because adding a first floor over a garage falls outside Permitted Development, and we handled that application. Our planning permission guide covers both routes.

What Our Oldbrook Projects Show

Three completed projects in one grid square is unusual, and they cover the range: a single storey rear extension, an extension above the garage combined with a rear extension, and a further residential extension. Between them they show how much can be done on a typical Oldbrook plot.

Cost and Timing

We price after a site visit and fix the figure in writing. A single storey rear extension under Permitted Development typically takes ten to fourteen weeks from first call to completion; the above-garage scheme took longer because of the planning stage and the structural work involved.
