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 Tottenham Hale homes
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.
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.
