Side extension semi detached

At Draw Plans, one of the most common queries we get relates to adding a side extension on semi-detached house. It seems an easy enough project but unlike a rear kitchen extension the side extension usually gives you loads more options in terms of layout and design.

Q: What is a side return extension? A: If your terraced or semi-detached house has retained its original kitchen, it’s probably a small, narrow space tucked away at the rear of the house. To increase its footprint, a popular solution is to extend into the narrow strip of garden – known as the side return – adjacent to the kitchen. By reclaiming this space, you can create an open-plan kitchen and family/dining room without sacrificing much of the garden.
