    What is a Side Extension?

    A side extension replaces a house’s outrigger with a rectangular projection out to the side; it’s an extension of the house sideways. There are single and double-storey side extensions. It is a smart way to maximise the unused space, improve functionality and enhance property. With this, you don’t need to move to another place with your growing family. Like most concepts of an extension, side extensions work efficiently with detached or semi-detached houses, as is the case with semi-detached (end of terrace) houses. 

    The semi-detached side extension uses an alley or a driveway next to the house for these extensions. A side extension can also refer to a fill-in extension that is constructed adjacent to a rear output, as it does with London’s terraced and some semi-detached houses. The outrigger is what gives these buildings their distinctive L-shaped footprint. However, the more usual term is “side return extension”.
