Kitchen Extensions in Woodford Green
An affluent suburban area with many large inter-war houses well suited to loft conversions and extensions. Woodford Green has many large interwar houses, including semis and detached homes, on the edge of Epping Forest.
Interwar houses often have a separate kitchen at the back, which a rear extension turns into an open kitchen-diner. Interwar semis and detached houses frequently have hipped roofs and reasonable ridge heights, which gives a surveyor more design options than a typical modern roof. We offer a free survey and a clear written quote from the start.
