House Extensions Dulwich

Lifestyle Interiors offer a full house extension design and build service with project management for Dulwich residents.

Dulwich is a great place to live with a rich historic and cultural heritage and a strong identity. The area has come a long way since horse-drawn trams were replaced by electrical ones in 1906, although considering the planning restrictions in place we might be excused for finding that surprising? Other than the Dulwich Estate there are no fewer than 5 conservation areas including:

• Dulwich Village
• Stradella Road
• The Gardens Conservation
• The Sunray Estate
• Dulwich Wood

These conservation areas are in place to ensure that any development, such as a house extension from Lifestyle Interiors, maintains or enhances the character and appearance the historic environment. In particular, the historic area of Dulwich Village is designated as an Archaeological Priority Zone and planning applications must be accompanied by an archaeological assessment .

Dulwich Village has Georgian houses and fine Victorian and Edwardian terraces that sit alongside 1930s family homes. However, what's more often over looked are the 60's developments which were driven by the needs arriving after the blitz, 1900's 100 year leases running out and the pressure for housing fit for heroes. Some of the 1960's houses are actually the best in the area such as the Californian ranch style houses of Woodall (Good Design Award) and the Courtmead Close development designed by Victor Knight (Good Housing design award 1976). Whatever the style of house you own, Lifestyle Interiors can help you devise, gain planning consent, build and decorate a house extension that will complement your property and its environment.

Styles

We can undertake front, side and rear extensions as well as garage conversions and second storey extensions.

Typically Lifestyle Interiors are contracted to undertake rear extensions (or side) whose primary objective is to extend the kitchen and provide a more open plan living area.

Benefits

Building a home Extension is a proven way to increase your living area and add value to your property.

In these economic times, home owners are also extending as a cost-effective alternative to moving house.

If you live in a Victorian or Edwardian terrace-type property and really need the extra space a side or rear extension could be the perfect solution.
