    The Rise of Luxury Extensions in Bedfordshire

    With property values in affluent Bedfordshire villages like Woburn and Ickwell continuing to climb, more homeowners are choosing to extend rather than move. A well-designed extension adds both space and significant value to your property.

    What's Involved?

    A complete residential extension project includes:

  1. Design consultation - understanding your vision and requirements
  2. Structural assessment - ensuring your property can support the extension
  3. Planning and building regulation approval - we handle all paperwork
  4. Foundation and construction - expert craftsmanship at every stage
  5. Interior finishing - from plastering to final decoration
  6. Typical Timelines

    Extension TypeDuration
    Single-storey3-6 months
    Two-storey6-12 months
    Rear + side wrap4-8 months

    Integrating Landscaping with Your Extension

    The best extensions don't stop at the back door. At Arcadia Build & Landscape, we design extensions with the surrounding landscape in mind - creating seamless transitions between interior and exterior with premium hard landscaping, new patios, and enhanced outdoor living spaces.

    What is the cost?

  7. Single-storey: £1,500-2,500 per m²
  8. Two-storey: £2,000-3,500 per m²
  9. Typical 4×5m extension: £30,000-50,000+
  10. At Arcadia Build and Landscape, we treat every residential extension as a unique architectural undertaking. Project costs fluctuate based on the scale of the build and the complexity of the engineering - from sleek, single-storey kitchen expansions to intricate, multi-level luxury extensions with integrated structural glazing.

    Because we prioritise expert craftsmanship and high-spec materials, we don't offer 'off-the-shelf' pricing. Instead, we provide detailed, site-specific estimates that reflect the true scope of your vision, ensuring your new space becomes a seamless, lasting, and high-value asset for your property. Whether you are in Cambridge, Stamford, or Oundle, our commitment is to deliver a build that is as structurally sound as it is aesthetically stunning.
