Porch entrances for N8 homes
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. In conservation areas and on listed buildings, porches on front elevations are closely controlled, so discuss the design with the council before submitting plans.
With no Tube station, traffic is the main noise source rather than trains, though the East Coast Main Line passes Hornsey. Most owners here want replacement windows that look period-correct. We travel around 3.6 miles from our Edmonton factory to reach N8.
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.
