Ground Floor Rear Extension in Godalming: Creating Space for Modern Family Living

At Archetype Central, our architectural practice based in Godalming, we recently submitted a planning application to Waverley Borough Council for a beautifully considered ground floor rear extension. Designed for a growing family, this project reflects our commitment to creating homes that feel both functional and full of character.

The proposed extension transforms the existing ground floor, introducing separate family and dining rooms to give the homeowners flexible spaces for everyday life and entertaining. By rethinking the layout, the new design balances connection and privacy — making it easier for family members to enjoy shared time together or find quiet moments apart.

A key feature of the proposal is its pitched roof, which complements the original property while enhancing natural light and headroom. The pitched form creates a sense of volume and proportion that blends with the existing architecture. Thoughtful material choices ensure the new structure harmonises with the house and wider streetscape, supporting a smooth journey through the planning process.

Our team specialises in residential design projects across Godalming and surrounding areas, including Guildford,  Cranleigh, Haslemere, Milford, and Farncombe. Whether developing an extension, reconfiguring an interior, or planning a new build, we focus on design quality and clarity of detail from concept to completion.

This latest planning submission highlights how well-considered architecture can enhance both the look and feel of a family home — adding long-term value through smart spatial design and timeless form.

If you’re considering a home extension or renovation within the Godalming area, our team would be delighted to help you shape your ideas into reality.
