Kitchen Extension In York Converted From A Former Conservatory & Garage

When space is limited, and homes require improved functionality and flow, we look inwards to create newly needed space. This kitchen extension in Clifton, York, showcases this innovative approach to producing new space from disused space. Our client did not want to lose their garden and outside area but desired a more extensive, open-plan kitchen living area that would invite the outdoors in. The solution was to convert their old conservatory and unused garage to maximise their residence – a kitchen extension project combined with a conservatory and garage conversion to reassemble a stylish, optimised and renewed living space. Paying forward the lost space to a renewed open-plan kitchen.

Converting A Conservatory Into A Kitchen Extension

An outdated conservatory is perfect for resurrecting a new functional space in your home, and a kitchen is one of the best conversions for such a space. When designing a conservatory-to-kitchen conversion, carefully consider how, why and what this space could be used. Then, once the redundant conservatory elements are removed, you can achieve an entirely repurposed space. Here, you can see the former conservatory and the kitchen extension that followed in the larger picture.

Contemporary Kitchen Design

Take a step inside and see the kitchen remodelled. Once the brief was fully conceptualised, we partnered with trusted building contractors, Leeper and Deighton. We created mood boards with our interior design consultant to fuse the client’s favourite tones, textures and organic references to create a modern neolithic-style kitchen. The dark, multi-tonal natural stone aspects were balanced with variable natural sunlight and a hanging candlelight-inspired glow, revealing divergent day-to-night perspectives.

Kitchen Extension FAQs

  • Can you convert a conservatory to a kitchen?

    A conservatory makes a perfect base for a new kitchen and a space that can be entirely repurposed to suit your needs. Also, if your home is not listed or restricted by conservation regulations, it might not even require planning permission. It may count as permitted development if your renovations are not structurally significant or expanding beyond the previous height or ground space. Your local architect or planning consultants can advise you on this. However, you will still require building regulations.

  • Do I need planning permission for a kitchen extension?

    When considering a kitchen extension, you will likely need planning permission if you plan to make significant changes, such as adding a conservatory or an additional storey to make your structure higher or if you seek to expand by more than three metres. In these cases, the kitchen extension may require planning permission.

    You may also require permission to modify an existing kitchen extension’s roof, walls, or windows.

    If your kitchen extension qualifies as “permitted development”, then you may not need to obtain planning permission.

  • Is a rear kitchen extension a permitted development?

    Any rear extension longer than 4 metres for detached houses or 3 metres for semi-detached and other properties is classed as a large home extension and generally requires planning permission or approval through notifying your neighbours about your intended development. Furthermore, if your extension is higher than your existing house or over 4m in height, or less than 3m if it sits within 2m of your property boundary, then you will need planning permission.

    One further consideration is for permitted development, a rear kitchen extension, or any rear extension, needs to take up less than 50% of the size of the land around the original house. If your home was built before 1948, then the ‘original house’ classification stands as how it stood on 1st July 1948. The rules are constantly being reviewed and changed around permitted development, so it is always best to seek professional advice.
