About an extra bedroom and en-suite extension
An extra bedroom and en-suite extension is a two-storey extension planned around a new double bedroom with its own shower room on the first floor, with a ground-floor room below. It is one of the most effective ways to add space for a growing family. Nationwide's 2025 research linked adding a double bedroom and bathroom to a three-bed, one-bathroom house with value gains of up to 24%.

Design points for Beverley homes
Planning the en-suite
An en-suite needs a route for the soil pipe to the drains, enough fall for waste water and an extract fan to the outside under Part F. Placing it over the ground-floor utility or near an existing drain keeps pipework short and hidden.
Connecting to the landing
The new bedroom must be reached from the existing landing, usually through a new opening in the outside wall or by taking part of an existing bedroom as a corridor. We look at the stairs and landing first, because a poor connection can waste much of the new space.

Questions about extra bedroom and en-suite extensions in Beverley
How much does an extra bedroom and en-suite extension cost in Beverley?
Our guide for Yorkshire and the Humber, which covers Beverley, is £1,840–£2,480 per m² including VAT. A typical project with a 4 m × 3.5 m footprint on two floors (28 m² of new floor space) comes to about £51,500–£69,500 (plus £5,500–£11,000 for the en-suite). Design and approval fees are extra, and we fix the build price in writing once the design is agreed.
How long does an extra bedroom and en-suite extension take?
Allow 4 to 8 weeks for survey and design, then the approval period (councils should decide householder applications within 8 weeks of validation), then 4 to 8 weeks of technical design, which can overlap. The build itself usually takes 14 to 20 weeks, longer for large or complex designs.
Do I need planning permission for an extra bedroom and en-suite extension in Beverley?
Beverley is in England, so England planning rules apply. It may be permitted development if it goes no more than 3 m beyond the original rear wall (counting any single-storey part) and stays 7 m from the rear boundary; otherwise it needs planning permission. If in doubt, a lawful development certificate or a planning application gives you certainty before you build.
What goes on the ground floor below a new bedroom?
Whatever suits you: a bigger kitchen, a family room, a study, a utility or a downstairs shower room. The ground floor usually costs about the same whatever it is used for, apart from kitchen units and bathroom fittings, which are priced separately.
Can an en-suite go in a room with no window?
Yes. A shower room without a window is allowed, provided it has a mechanical extract fan to the outside that meets Part F. Many people prefer a window for daylight, but if it faces a neighbour it will usually need obscure glass. We plan the extract route early so the duct is hidden.
