House Extensions in Nunhead
Nunhead is an increasingly popular South East London neighbourhood in SE15 — Victorian terraces, proximity to Peckham and Forest Hill, Nunhead Cemetery, and access to open green space. As property values in adjacent areas have risen, Nunhead has attracted buyers looking for renovation opportunity at accessible price points. rcbGroup delivers extensions, loft conversions, and refurbishments across SE15.
rcbGroup projectHouse Extensions in Nunhead — what to expect
Nunhead's Victorian terraces follow the typical South East London pattern — narrow and deep floor plan with a rear kitchen suited to extension. Ground floor rear extensions at 3-5m create open-plan kitchen-diner space with access to the rear garden. Side return extensions are available on end-of-terrace properties across the residential streets. Most extensions proceed under permitted development.
Nunhead property types
Victorian terraced houses, some Edwardian properties, period conversion flats. The property type affects which extension approach works best — we'll advise from the first call.
