Chorlton's tree-lined streets of Edwardian and late-Victorian terraces are some of the most sought-after in south Manchester. Many have a narrow galley kitchen, a side return and a loft that is crying out to be used, which makes them perfect for a well-planned extension or conversion.
We work across M21, from the streets around Beech Road and Chorlton Green to the 1930s semis towards Chorlton Park. Our aim is always to add space while keeping the period details, such as bay windows, cornicing and fireplaces, that make these homes special.

Popular projects in Chorlton
The most popular Chorlton project is a side return or wraparound extension that turns a galley kitchen into a family kitchen-diner, often paired with a dormer loft conversion for an extra bedroom. We also take on full renovations of period houses.
Planning permission in Chorlton
Chorlton is covered by Manchester City Council. Chorlton Green is a conservation area, where planning controls are tighter. Elsewhere, single-storey rear extensions and rear dormers are often permitted development, but wraparound extensions usually need planning permission. Shared walls mean party wall notices are almost always needed.
