House Extensions in Barking
Barking combines proximity to central London with more affordable housing — and plots that are wide enough for rear and side extensions that would be impossible in inner London.
House Extensions in Barking — what to expect
Barking's interwar semi-detached stock has generous rear gardens well-suited to extensions. 6m rear extensions under permitted development are common. Side extensions into the garage or side passage are popular on the wider plot semis. Double-storey extensions are viable on many detached properties around the town.
Barking property types
Interwar and post-war semis, terraced houses, newer builds near the town centre. The property type affects which extensions approach works best — we'll advise from the first call.
