Rear extensions for bungalows in North Yorkshire
Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. Across North Yorkshire we handle the whole rear extension: survey, drawings, the planning route, building control and the build. Towns we cover here include York, Middlesbrough and Harrogate.
For bungalows in North Yorkshire, a rear extension is the usual way to add space without adding stairs. Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of North Yorkshire. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.
How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in North Yorkshire?
In North Yorkshire, our guide for a bungalow rear extension is £1,720–£2,790 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. Yorkshire prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; matching natural stone is the main variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £20,500–£33,500 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £41,500–£67,000 |
Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.
Do you need planning permission in North Yorkshire?
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it is within 2 metres of a boundary.
England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can a bungalow extension be fully accessible?
Yes: level thresholds, wider doors and a wet room are straightforward to design in.
Will the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
Can I extend the loft as well?
Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
Do you cover all of North Yorkshire?
We cover 18 towns and districts in North Yorkshire, including York, Middlesbrough and Harrogate.
Who builds the extension?
