More Bedrooms, Same Address
Many Hucknall homes were built with two or three bedrooms, and families quickly outgrow them. A bedroom extension lets you stay near good schools, the tram at Hucknall station and family nearby, while adding the space and value a bigger house would cost far more to buy.
The most common route is building over an existing single garage or kitchen, which adds a full double bedroom without losing any garden. Where the ground floor also needs work, a double storey rear extension can add a bedroom and en suite upstairs plus a bigger kitchen below in one build.
We start with a free survey at your home. We check foundations, drains and roof lines, talk through layouts, and give you a clear fixed quote with realistic timescales before anything is signed.
Best For
Growing families in Hucknall semis and terraces who need a third or fourth bedroom, an en suite, or a guest room, and want to avoid the cost and stress of moving.
📋 Quick Facts
Typical build time: 10-16 weeks. Guide cost: 35,000-80,000 GBP depending on size and route. Over-garage builds are often the most cost effective option.
Benefits of a Bedroom Extension in Hucknall
- Adds real value – an extra bedroom typically lifts a Hucknall home’s value by 10-15%, often more than the build cost.
- Cheaper than moving – avoid stamp duty, agent fees and moving costs, and keep your school catchment and commute.
- En suite option – most layouts allow space for a compact en suite, easing pressure on the family bathroom.
- Keeps your garden – over-garage and double storey builds add upstairs space using the same footprint.
- Built for warmth – modern insulation and glazing mean the new room is often the cosiest in the house.
- One local team – design, planning, build and finish handled start to finish by people who work in NG15 every week.

Do You Need Planning Permission?
What Hucknall Homeowners Should Know
Some single storey bedroom extensions fall under permitted development, but building over a garage or adding a second storey almost always needs full planning permission from Ashfield District Council. Applications usually take around 8 weeks to decide. Key points the council look at include the roof design matching your house, distance to neighbouring windows, and the extension not dominating the street. We prepare all drawings, submit the application and deal with the planners for you – our applications in Hucknall have a 100% success rate to date.

What Hucknall Homeowners Say
“We had a bedroom built over our garage in Hucknall and it looks like it was always part of the house. Planning was sorted for us and the team kept everything tidy. Our daughter finally has her own room.”
“Double storey extension gave us a new master bedroom with en suite and a bigger kitchen. Finished on the week they promised and the fixed quote never changed. Would recommend to anyone in Hucknall.”
“We nearly moved house but the numbers didn’t add up. Adding a fourth bedroom cost far less and we stayed near the tram and the kids’ school. Communication was excellent from survey to handover.”
