What is a ground floor extension and what are the different types available?

A ground floor extension is an addition to your home that expands the existing floor space at ground level, rather than building upwards. These extensions are designed to seamlessly integrate with your current home's structure and architectural style, creating additional living space without the need for stairs or upper-level access.

The most common types include rear extensions, which extend backwards into your garden or yard area, side return extensions that utilise narrow side spaces, and wrap-around extensions that combine both rear and side elements. Single-storey extensions are particularly popular for creating open-plan kitchen and dining areas, additional bedrooms, or larger family living spaces.

Each type offers unique benefits depending on your block size, council regulations, and lifestyle needs. At Curtis Construction, we help you determine the best extension type based on your property's characteristics and your family's requirements.
