If you’re living in a bungalow, you might think the idea of extending your home is a little difficult, but as long as you have a little land available to the rear, front or side of your property, there’s no reason you cannot expand your living space.
One of the most popular and easy-to-achieve bungalow extensions are conservatories for bungalows, which add not only floor space to your property but also a wealth of natural light and kerb appeal. Often, a bungalow conservatory takes the form of a rear extension, creating a glorious transition between your home’s interior and your back garden.
Another popular form of single storey bungalow extension is a front porch. These simple additions can transform the look and feel of a dated bungalow and make a huge difference to the look of your home within the surrounding area. You’ll have more space and benefit from a lovely welcome to your bungalow for any guests coming over.
In our discussion of bungalow extension ideas, we will outline the advantages of choosing conservatories and porches for your bungalow extension and describe how they can be the perfect solution to finding new space in a bungalow.
Conservatories For Bungalows
Here at KLG Rutland, we have installed countless conservatory bungalow extensions in the local area over the years, helping many homeowners to grow their living space and revolutionise their experience at home. Many bungalows benefit from a significant existing footprint, having been built on large plots with space to extend on all sides of the property. You can take advantage of this with a bungalow conservatory, which usually does not require full planning permission and building regulations. This means you can enjoy a bungalow extension without some of the stress that a fully-bricked extension might bring.
There are a number of different conservatory types which lend themselves to bungalow owners. A bungalow lean-to conservatory tends to be a popular choice, offering an extended floor plan and an abundance of natural light at a cost-effective price. Lean-to conservatories are relatively simple to add on to a home and we can create a bespoke design to suit your preferences and the needs of your property.
We also install various different solid roof conservatories for bungalows, which bring many of the benefits of a regular conservatory, alongside the significant advantage of enhanced thermal efficiency. Solid or hybrid roof conservatories still allow lots of natural light into your home but the solid roof means the space won’t get too hot in summer or too cold in winter.
Some of the other conservatory types we design and build as bungalow extensions include orangeries, gable conservatories and Edwardian conservatories, while our bespoke combination conservatories can be fully bespoke and take on any shape to suit your bungalow. When you consider the almost endless possibilities, it’s easy to see why conservatory bungalows are one of the best bungalow extension ideas available in the UK today.

Bungalow Porches
Another form of bungalow extension we often install is the bungalow porch. This relatively small yet significant front bungalow extensions can really make a difference to your lived experience but also the perception of your home from guests and passers-by.
We build bespoke porches for bungalows all over the East Midlands, taking into account the architectural style of the property and the personal preferences of the homeowner to create the perfect extended entrance. We pride ourselves on being able to install a porch to suit every home and bungalows are no different.
Your bungalow porch can take many different forms. Often, a porch will have a pitched roof, but we also offer porches for bungalows with a lean-to style roof, sloping down from your property. All our porches also benefit from our modern external doors and double-glazing as standard, improving the energy efficiency of your home and enhancing security. These benefits, together with the physical extension of your bungalow’s floor space, make porches an ideal bungalow extension idea.
