Project Overview
This rear extension in South Oxford, Oxfordshire, transformed a traditional terraced house into a bright, modern kitchen and open-plan family living space. The full-width extension was completed under Permitted Development, creating additional ground-floor space and a stronger connection to the rear garden.
A key feature of this South Oxford kitchen extension is the impressive 8-metre roof lantern, designed to bring natural light deep into the property. Statim Developments carried out the construction works, including demolition of the existing rear structure, groundwork, foundations, structural works, roofing, glazing, kitchen installation and internal finishes.
With the homeowners remaining in the property throughout construction and no convenient side access, careful site management was essential. Completed in approximately four months, the project demonstrates our experience delivering substantial house extensions in Oxford, combining quality workmanship, coordinated construction and practical improvements to everyday living.
