Porch entrances in Enfield Town

Homes in Enfield Town are mostly Georgian town houses, Victorian villas, Edwardian terraces and interwar semis. In conservation areas and on listed buildings, porches on front elevations are closely controlled, so discuss the design with the council before submitting plans.

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. 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.

The Enfield Town conservation area covers a large part of the centre, and listed buildings need consent for almost any change. For these we suggest timber-look sash or flush casement windows, or secondary glazing where replacement is not allowed. We check with Enfield Council first. Our Edmonton factory is about 3.5 miles away, so surveys are easy 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.

• Buffer against draughts and cold air
• Secure place for parcels and deliveries
• Smarter, more welcoming front entrance
