Single Storey Rear Extension Beeston
A single storey rear extension is one of the most popular ways to add space to a Beeston home. It opens up the back of the house, creates a bright kitchen-diner and connects your living space to the garden.
We are a local team with 15 years of experience building rear extensions across Beeston, from the terraces near the High Road to the semis around Chilwell and Attenborough. We handle everything from first drawings to the final coat of paint.

Rear Extensions Built for Beeston Homes
Extending into the back garden is the smart choice for most Beeston properties. The typical Victorian terrace, 1930s semi or post-war house here has a decent rear plot but a cramped, dated kitchen at the back. A single storey rear extension turns that awkward layout into an open, light-filled space that works for modern family life.
Whether you want a larger kitchen, a dining area, a utility room or a family snug, we design the extension around how you actually live. We look at the sunlight, the garden access and the flow from your existing rooms so the finished space feels like it was always part of the house.
Most rear extensions in Beeston fall under permitted development, which means you may not need a full planning application. We check this for your address before any work begins and manage the paperwork with Broxtowe Borough Council on your behalf.
Best For
Homeowners who want a bigger kitchen-diner, more ground floor living space, or a stronger link between the house and garden without moving home.
Typical Timescale
Most single storey rear extensions in Beeston take 8 to 12 weeks on site, plus 4 to 8 weeks for design and approvals beforehand.
Benefits of a Single Storey Rear Extension
- More usable space – gain a large open-plan kitchen-diner or family room without the cost and stress of moving house.
- More natural light – roof lanterns, bi-fold doors and rooflights flood the back of the house with daylight all year round.
- Added property value – a well-built rear extension can add 10 to 15% to the value of a typical Beeston home.
- Garden connection – large glazed doors blur the line between inside and out, ideal for summer in the NG9 area.
- Often no full planning needed – many rear extensions sit within permitted development, keeping the process quick and simple.
- Tailored to your home – every design suits the style, brick and layout of your Beeston property.

Planning and Permitted Development in Beeston
Beeston falls within Broxtowe Borough Council. Many single storey rear extensions here can be built under permitted development, which avoids a full planning application. There are limits you need to stay within, and we check every one before we start.
Key Permitted Development Limits
- Depth – up to 3m for an attached (semi or terraced) house, or 4m for a detached house, from the original rear wall.
- Height – no higher than 4m, and eaves no higher than 3m if within 2m of a boundary.
- Coverage – the extension and outbuildings must not cover more than half the garden area.
- Larger schemes – deeper extensions may qualify under the Larger Home Extension prior approval route, which we can manage for you.
If your home is in a conservation area or is listed, different rules apply. We confirm your property’s status with the council before quoting so there are no surprises.
