I am currently having plans drawn for a full-width, single storey, pitched roof side return kitchen extension on a Victorian mid-terrace.
The new rear wall of the infill side return will be flush with the existing rear wall of the kitchen (with bathroom above), which is rendered. I plan to have the new rear wall rendered to match.
Thing is, the existing rear wall of the two storey kitchen/bathroom is a little way off vertical - it overhangs/leans by a few degrees.
There's been no movement in the decade we've owned the house, despite hot summers, local flooding and a clay subsoil. No internal cracks or anything.
Simple question: how could the new, contiguous rear be built? Pis*ed to match the existing, or would it be built vertical, and the offset (zero at base, rising to 3cm at flashing - height 3m) be hidden with a thick render?
Thoughts, please!
thanks
Jon
