Transform Your Space: How a Home Extension Can Add Value and Style
Thinking about upgrading your home but not sure where to start? A home extension could be the answer. Whether you’re dreaming of a bigger kitchen, a luxurious bathroom renovation, or simply more room to breathe, an extension is one of the smartest ways to add both comfort and financial value to your property.
At Artifex Homes, we’ve seen firsthand how a well-planned house extension can turn an ordinary space into something extraordinary.
Why Choose a Home Extension Over Moving?
For many homeowners, the first thought when space feels tight is to move. But with property prices climbing, the cost of stamp duty, and the stress of house-hunting, staying put and investing in your own home makes far more sense.
A home extension allows you to:
Create tailored living spaces (think kitchen extensions, open-plan dining, or even a new office).
Add modern features that suit your lifestyle.
Boost your property value significantly — on average, a house extension can increase value by 10–20%, depending on the size and design.

How Much Value Can an Extension Add?
This is the golden question. While figures vary, research shows that:
A kitchen renovation with extension can add up to 15% to your home’s value.
A bathroom renovation as part of an extension typically adds 5–8%.
A full two-storey home extension may boost property value by 20% or more.
The key is thoughtful design, high-quality materials, and expert craftsmanship. That’s where we come in. At Artifex Homes, we focus on building spaces that don’t just look good but truly work for the way you live.
Popular Types of House Extensions
1. Kitchen Extensions
The heart of the home deserves more space. Open-plan kitchens with dining and living areas are hugely popular in the UK. A kitchen renovation that flows into an extension creates the perfect hub for family and entertaining.
2. Bathroom Renovations
Adding a luxury bathroom to your home extension can completely transform your morning routine. Think spa-like finishes, underfloor heating, and walk-in showers.
3. Loft and Two-Storey Extensions
Need maximum space? Loft conversions or two-storey extensions offer bedrooms, offices, or playrooms without eating up your garden.
4. Garden Rooms and Orangeries
Perfect for relaxing or working from home, garden extensions blur the line between indoors and outdoors while adding resale appeal.

Why Extensions Are a Smart Long-Term Investment
Unlike redecorating, a home extension isn’t just cosmetic. It’s an investment in your future. With property demand constantly rising, buyers are willing to pay more for homes that offer flexible layouts, larger living areas, and modern features.

Future-proofing your home.
