When life changes, your home should be able to change with it. Maybe your family is growing, maybe you’re working from home more, or perhaps you just want a more open, social layout. Moving house in Nottingham can be costly, stressful, and often unnecessary. A well-planned house extension offers a smarter solution, giving you the space you need while allowing you to stay in the home and neighbourhood you already love.
At Construction Interior Design Ltd, we’ve been delivering bespoke house extensions in Nottingham and the wider East Midlands for over 30 years. We combine thoughtful design with quality craftsmanship to create spaces that look great, feel natural, and add long-term value to your property. From the first sketches to the final finishing touches, our team manages the whole process with care and precision.
House extensions are more than extra bricks and mortar… they can completely change the way you live. Here are a few reasons why many Nottingham homeowners are choosing to extend rather than move:
More living space without leaving your garden behind – Unlike building out with multiple floors or moving, an extension can be tailored to work around your existing plot while keeping your outdoor space intact.
Better flow and functionality – Create a layout that works for your lifestyle, whether that’s a larger kitchen-diner, a new bedroom, or a flexible open-plan family space.
Increase property value – In a city like Nottingham, where demand for homes is high, a well-designed extension can add 15–20% to your home’s market value.
Avoid moving costs – Estate agent fees, stamp duty, removals, and renovations soon add up. Extending often costs less overall.
Energy-efficient upgrades – With modern insulation, glazing, and materials, your extension can help reduce energy bills and make your home more sustainable.
Over the years, we’ve worked on a wide variety of house extensions in Nottingham. One recent project involved a Victorian terrace where the family needed a brighter, larger kitchen-diner. We created a rear extension with skylights and bi-fold doors that opened onto the garden, turning the home into a hub for family life.
Another client in West Bridgford wanted a dedicated office space without sacrificing a bedroom. A side extension gave them the quiet, private workspace they needed, seamlessly integrated into the house.
These examples remind us that every extension is unique, designed around the people who live there.
At Construction Interior Design Ltd, we keep things straightforward. Every project follows a clear path:
Free consultation – We’ll visit your home, talk through ideas, and assess feasibility.
Design and planning – Our designers create plans that balance style with practicality, making sure the extension feels like a natural part of your home.
Permissions checked – We advise on planning permission and permitted development, handling applications if required.
Build and project management – From foundations to roofing, electrics to flooring, we coordinate every stage with minimal disruption.
Finishing touches – Lighting, plastering, decoration, and fittings so your extension is ready to use straight away.
Most extensions in Nottingham take between 8–12 weeks, depending on size and complexity. We pride ourselves on keeping to schedule and budget, while always keeping you in the loop.
No two homes are the same, which is why we offer a range of extension styles:
Single-storey extensions – Ideal for bigger kitchens, open-plan living areas, or ground-floor bedrooms.
Double-storey extensions – Add significant space, often combining an expanded kitchen downstairs with new bedrooms or bathrooms upstairs.
Side return extensions – Popular with terraced houses in Nottingham, making use of underutilised side alley space.
Wraparound extensions – A combination of side and rear, maximising footprint and creating real transformation.
Loft conversions – Not strictly an extension, but another way to expand your living space upwards.
We’ll guide you through which option makes the most sense for your home and lifestyle.

Yes — these types of homes are very commonly extended. We’ll assess the space available and talk you through the best options that meet regulations and maximise potential.
If the extension affects shared walls or is close to neighbouring boundaries, you may need to follow the Party Wall Act. We can guide you through the steps and support with any notices required.
