Two-storey rear extensions in Warwickshire
A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. Rear extensions in Warwickshire: we cover 9 towns including Nuneaton, Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Nuneaton best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen. Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Warwickshire. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Warwickshire?
A two-storey rear extension in Warwickshire is priced at £1,800–£2,700 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. The West Midlands is the baseline for our guide prices.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²) | £54,000–£81,000 |
| 4 m × 6 m footprint, two floors (48 m²) | £86,500–£129,500 |
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 Warwickshire?
England's rules allow a rear extension of more than one storey without an application only when it is no deeper than 3 metres and at least 7 metres from the boundary opposite the rear wall, and never on designated land. Most two-storey schemes need householder planning permission.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Does a two-storey rear extension need planning permission?
Almost always. England and Northern Ireland allow 3 metres without an application only if at least 7 metres remains to the rear boundary; Wales and Scotland are similar or stricter.
Is two-storey cheaper per square metre than single-storey?
Usually yes, because the foundations and roof are shared across twice the floor area. The total cost is higher.
Can I add an en-suite upstairs?
Yes. We plan the soil pipe route early so the bathroom sits where drainage works without boxing through the room below.
Do you cover all of Warwickshire?
We cover 9 towns and districts in Warwickshire, including Nuneaton, Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa.
