What suits Stoke Golding housing
St Margaret’s Church is a Grade I listed building and one of the finest parish churches in the county, the older village core around Church Walks, High Street and Hinckley Road sits within a conservation area, and the Ashby Canal runs along the village edge. Beyond that core there is post war and modern housing where extending is far more straightforward.
Post war and modern village housing
Regular plots and often an attached garage, so rear extensions and garage conversions are efficient and predictable, usually within permitted development.
Older cottages and period property
In the conservation area: solid walls, shallow foundations and lime mortar. Rear extensions detailed to match are the usual answer, priced with the structural unknowns in mind.
Larger detached property on the village edges
Good candidates for double storey or wraparound extensions, subject to countryside policy, which tests whether an extension is proportionate to the original dwelling.
Planning permission for an extension in Stoke Golding
Your planning authority is Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council. The Stoke Golding conservation area covers the historic village core, and inside it permitted development rights are reduced: side extensions and roof alterations normally need full planning permission, and materials and proportions are assessed rather than waved through. Listed building consent is required separately where a property is listed, including for internal alterations.
Two further points matter locally. The village sits in open countryside, so countryside policy can apply at the edges, where extensions are tested against whether they are proportionate to the original dwelling. And parts of the village near the Ashby Canal can raise drainage and ground condition questions worth settling at design stage rather than at building control.
Outside any designated area the standard permitted development allowances apply in England: a single storey rear extension of up to 4 metres on a detached house or 3 metres on a semi detached or terraced house, extendable to 8 metres and 6 metres under the larger home extension prior approval route, subject to height, eaves and boundary limits. Building regulations approval is always needed, and on a semi or terrace the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 usually applies, with two months’ notice for party wall works and one month for excavation within three metres of a neighbour’s structure. We check the constraints on your address before any design work starts.

How a project runs with us
Nobody signs anything until the price is real. Every stage is a small step, so you are never asked for a big commitment on a vague number.
Free consultation and budget
We visit, look at the property and talk through what you want. You get a written budget range built from your ideas or early drawings, at no charge.
Design and approvals

Fixed quotation and contract
The agreed takeoff becomes the project budget. You get a fixed quotation built from it, a written contract and stage payments tied to progress, never paid ahead of the work.
The build
One point of contact, a schedule at the start of every week, both directors’ numbers, and any change agreed in writing before it happens. Sites are kept clean for you and your neighbours.
Handover and guarantee
Building control sign off, certificates and a 5 year workmanship guarantee as standard, with an optional 10 year insurance backed guarantee available.

“We had a new extension and kitchen and the whole project totally surpassed our expectations. Everything was done to a very high standard from start to finish. Sean and Paul were great with every detail of the project no matter how big or small.”
“Had Parker Grears to convert our garage into bedroom bathroom and utility, we can highly recommend this company for their punctuality and quality of workmanship was excellent. Any problems that arose were quickly resolved. We are pleased with the finished project.”

Common questions about extending in Stoke Golding
Do I need planning permission to extend in Stoke Golding?
On the post war and modern housing a modest single storey rear extension often falls within permitted development. In the conservation area, or where countryside policy applies at the village edge, a full application to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council is likely to be needed, determined in around eight weeks.
Can I extend a property near the Ashby Canal?
Generally yes, but ground conditions and drainage need checking properly at design stage. It is considerably cheaper to establish that before foundations are designed than to discover it during the build.
How much does an extension cost in Stoke Golding?
Most 15 to 25 m² single storey extensions come out between £50,000 and £80,000 including VAT, larger single storey or wraparound extensions between £80,000 and £130,000, double storey extensions between £110,000 and £175,000, and garage conversions from £14,000 to £55,000.
Which villages do you cover around Stoke Golding?
Dadlington, Higham on the Hill, Wykin, Sutton Cheney, Shenton, Fenny Drayton and Witherley, as well as Hinckley, Market Bosworth and Nuneaton.
How long does an extension take?
Roughly 10 to 14 weeks on site for a single storey rear extension, 16 to 22 weeks for a double storey extension and 4 to 6 weeks for a standard garage conversion. Planning determination, where needed, is separate and normally takes around eight weeks from validation. You get a written programme with the quotation and a schedule at the start of every week.
What guarantee do you give?
A 5 year company workmanship guarantee as standard, with an optional 10 year insurance backed guarantee available. Every extension is signed off by building control and you receive the completion certificate.
