Porch entrances in Brookmans Park

Around Brookmans Park you will mostly find 1930s detached and semi-detached houses on large plots. Detached houses and cottages usually have room for a larger porch, but one exceeding permitted development size limits will need a planning application.

In conservation areas and on listed buildings, porches on front elevations are closely controlled, so discuss the design with the council before submitting plans. 1930s semis with recessed or arched entrances suit infill porches that close the recess with a new glazed frame and door, rather than a separate structure.

Larger houses and gardens suit bifold and sliding doors, and conservatory roof replacements are a common request. The village is surrounded by green belt, which matters for bigger extensions though not for like-for-like windows. We are about 10.5 miles from our Edmonton factory, a short drive up the A10 and M25 or through Potters Bar.

A porch adds an enclosed entrance at the front or back of your home, creating a buffer against weather, draughts and noise, plus space for shoes, coats and deliveries. We design and build porches with made-to-measure frames and doors, suiting terraces, semis and detached homes alike.

• Extra space for coats and shoes
• Buffer against draughts and cold air
