Porch entrances in Enfield Highway

Around Enfield Highway you will mostly find 1920s–30s terraces, council-built houses and maisonettes off the Hertford Road. 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.

Victorian terraces often have little space between the front door and pavement, so check the porch footprint and distance to the boundary before committing to a design. Flats and maisonettes do not have permitted development rights, so a new porch will normally need planning permission as well as freeholder consent.

The Hertford Road is a bus route with heavy traffic at most times of day, so front bedrooms here are a good case for acoustic laminated glass. Our Edmonton factory is only about 3 miles south, which keeps fitting days and any later adjustments simple to arrange.

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.
