Most of us love our home lives and enjoy spending time with our families. It always feels good to get home after a long day of work to settle down, enjoy an evening meal, talk about what’s been happening and maybe relax with a book or in front of the TV. These home comforts become less enjoyable as our families grow, or circumstances change.
Homes in Ashbourne, Bakewell and the surrounding areas start to feel congested as family members get a little older and moving becomes an option. House extensions can provide the added space you need without having to sacrifice what has made your property a happy and functional family home.
Why not look at some of our previous work and read through a selection of testimonials relating to our professional services?
This blog post looks at the benefits of extending a property instead of moving into a different one. We will cover the following aspects of extensions:
The one thing that ties us to a home more than anything else is the sentimental value of raising our families in a single place. Nothing can replace those precious memories and for some, leaving them behind isn’t an option. By choosing one of our house extensions instead of relocating, you can stay close to the fonder moments of life and reflect upon them forever.
While you’ll lose part of your garden as a payoff for having an extension built, your home will still be your home.
For many of us, location is everything. The Derbyshire Dales is a lovely place to live and areas like Ashbourne and Bakewell are more desirable than most. Who would want to leave a home where the great outdoors is on your doorstep yet, at the same time, the wider worlds of retail and entertainment are within quick and easy reach by car, by bus or by train?
House extensions give you the added space you need without having to leave one of the UK’s loveliest areas.
We all want the best for our children and, in the suburbs, it becomes harder to find good schools or educational facilities. If you want your child to have the best education and already live in the Derbyshire Dales, the chances are that you are already close to several good schools and won’t want to sacrifice a potential space in them by moving home.
M J Bassett Ltd builds side-return, rear-facing, wraparound and over-structure house extensions for its customers.
Compared to areas in the South of England, nice places like Ashbourne and Bakewell are still affordable to live in. Do you really want to absorb the cost of a bigger mortgage for a bigger home? Can you realistically afford it, and would you also be able to pay the expensive solicitor’s fees, stamp duty and removal company costs if you decided to relocate?
House extensions are not only lower in cost than moving, but you will also add welcome resale value to your current home.
