Wandsworth is one of South London's most active and sought-after areas for house extensions. The London Borough of Wandsworth encompasses a wide range of premium residential areas including Wandsworth Town SW18, Tooting SW17, Balham SW12, Earlsfield SW18, Southfields SW18 and Battersea SW11 — all characterised by large Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached houses with strong property values and high buyer demand for additional space. LCCL Construction delivers house extensions across all of Wandsworth as part of our complete design and build service.
House Extensions Wandsworth: Best Types for Local Properties
The Victorian terraced houses that characterise Wandsworth Town, Earlsfield and Tooting are ideally suited to rear extensions, side return extensions and wraparound extensions. A wraparound extension combining rear and side return creates a large open plan ground floor — the most popular choice for Wandsworth Victorian terraces. The larger Edwardian semi-detached houses in Southfields and Wandsworth Common suit double storey rear extensions.
