We were originally planning a large single storey extension as we have an L shaped house and were going to fill the part which has the void in the L shape.
My architect suggested doing a two storey extension will bring a better balance to the house and looking visually better. I do agree but am wondering about the cost.
Because of the 45 degree rule, we are unlikely to be able to complete fill the void and match the depth of the existing house. We might get 5m width (out of 6.5m) and around 3m (instead of 4.4m depth) deep. He has suggested with a new roof above etc it will come to circa. £25k (but I'm not sure if that cost is just the upper floor and roof) on top of the lower ground floor extension part.
Does this make it a very expensive extension for that amount of space? Is that a good amount of space would you say?
