What type of extensions are common in Parkstone?

Rear kitchen-diner extensions are the most popular, followed by loft conversions. Many 1930s semis gain an additional 20m² of open-plan kitchen-living space. Two storey extensions are also common on the larger properties in Lower Parkstone.

Are there conservation areas in Parkstone?

Parts of Upper Parkstone near the Ashley Cross area fall within a conservation area. This means reduced PD rights for side extensions and cladding changes. We check your exact address against the conservation area boundary before advising on the best route.
