If you love your home but need more space, working with Acre Design to extend it can be a smarter and more rewarding choice than moving. We help homeowners across Northumberland, North Tyneside and Newcastle upon Tyne design high-quality extensions that not only add space, but also improve how the home flows, feels and functions. With the right design, you can stay in the location you love, while creating a home that better supports the way you want to live.

Here are some of the most popular types of extensions we design for clients in the region, along with the benefits of each approach.

Loft Conversions

A loft conversion is a practical way to create an additional bedroom, home office, or dedicated hobby space. This type of extension makes use of underused roof space and can add significant flexibility to your home without altering the footprint. With the right design, a converted loft can feel every bit as integrated and comfortable as the rest of the house.

Ground Floor Extensions

Extending at ground level can dramatically enhance the way you use your home. Whether you are opening up the rear of the house for an open plan kitchen and living area, creating a ground floor guest suite, or introducing a more connected indoor–outdoor lifestyle, this type of extension is ideal for families and those planning for long-term comfort and accessibility.

Side and Two Storey Extensions

Side and double storey extensions offer excellent potential for improving both ground and first floor layouts. They are often used to create additional bedrooms, bathrooms, utility spaces, or home offices, while reconfiguring existing areas to improve flow. These extensions work especially well on properties with unused side access, garage structures, or generous plots, and can provide a seamless continuation of your home’s existing architecture.
