🏡A-Z of houses: C is for Cabin

A cabin is usually small and practical, rather than a large house and is often wooden or timber-built.

In the UK, cabins can be used in several ways:

🏡 Holiday cabins – found at holiday parks and countryside resorts, providing accommodation for short stays.
🌲 Garden cabins – used as home offices, studios, hobby rooms, gyms, or quiet spaces in people's gardens.
🏠 Cabins as homes – some timber cabins and lodge-style buildings are designed for full-time residential use, subject to planning and building regulations.
🌾 Rural and agricultural cabins – used as offices, storage areas, staff facilities, or accommodation on farms and rural properties.
🏕️ Camping and glamping cabins – provide a more comfortable alternative to tents, often with beds, heating, and basic facilities.
🏗️ Site cabins – temporary buildings used on construction sites as offices, welfare facilities, or storage.

So, in the UK, "cabin" doesn't necessarily mean a log cabin in the woods. It is a broad term for a small, usually simple building that can serve many different purposes.

Bespoke Carpentry, Made to Fit 🪚✨

A great example of making the most of every inch of space. The client wanted some build in carpentry in their front room and this is what we came up with.

This bespoke fitted TV cupboard and floating shelf, creating a clean, practical finish that works perfectly within the existing alcove.📺

The oak worktops and shelving add warmth, while the painted cabinetry keeps the overall look fresh and timeless. Finished with simple black handles and plenty of concealed storage, it’s a great combination of style and functionality.

From an empty alcove to a finished feature - all made to measure. Thanks to .squaredcarpentry on their sterling workmanship 👌

Strong internal walls start with quality blockwork. 🧱

Properly constructed internal block walls provide strength, durability, sound insulation and a solid foundation for plastering and finishing. From accurate setting-out and level courses to correct mortar joints and clean workmanship, every detail matters.

Quality blockwork isn’t just about putting blocks together - it’s about creating walls that will perform for years to come.

🏡Keeping It Tidy with Hurstmore🧹⚒️

The messy middle of a build is unavoidable - but the mess doesn’t have to take over. 🔨

At Hurstmore we take pride in keeping our sites as clean, organised and safe as possible throughout every project. Here’s what we do:

🧹 Daily clean-ups – At the end of each working day, we clear waste, sweep up and leave the site ready for the next morning.

📦 Materials kept organised – We make sure materials are stored neatly and securely rather than scattered around the site.

🗑️ Waste managed as we go – We remove packaging, offcuts and general waste regularly so it doesn’t build up and recycle where we can

🚶 Clear access routes – Keeping walkways and working areas clear is important for both safety and efficiency.

🛠️ Tools packed away – Tools and equipment are kept organised when they’re not being used, helping us stay productive and keeping the site safer.

🏡 Respecting your home – Where we’re working in an occupied property, we take extra care to protect floors, furniture and finished areas from dust and damage.

A building site will always get messy during the process - that's part of building! But we believe a tidy site is a safer, more efficient site, and it makes the whole experience better for our clients.

The finished result is important, but so is how we get there. 👌

🏡 A–Z of Houses: B is for Bungalow

What exactly is a bungalow❓
A bungalow is a home with all (or most) of its living space on a single floor, making it practical, accessible, and easy to enjoy. While some modern bungalows include loft rooms or dormer extensions, their defining feature remains their convenient single-storey design.

The word bungalow comes from the Hindi word 'bangla', meaning “a house in the Bengal style.” The style was introduced to Britain in the late 19th century and became increasingly popular from the 1920s through to the 1960s, with thousands of bungalows built across the UK. 🧱

One of the reasons bungalows remain so popular is their potential for transformation. With thoughtful design, many can be extended, renovated, and modernised to create larger, more energy-efficient homes while keeping their original character.

From open-plan living spaces and rear extensions to loft conversions and contemporary upgrades, a bungalow can evolve to suit changing lifestyles and family needs.

Why people love bungalows:
🏡 Practical single-level living
🌿 Larger gardens and outdoor space
🔨 Great potential for renovation and extension
✨ A chance to create a personalised dream home
♿ Flexible living for all ages

Whether restored with care or redesigned for modern living, the bungalow continues to be a timeless part of the British housing story.

🏡Planning an extension? Avoid these 5 common mistakes that can lead to delays, extra costs and disappointing results.

1️⃣ Starting work without the right approvals ✅
Before building begins, make sure you understand whether your project requires planning permission and ensure your design complies with current Building Regulations. Getting this wrong can cause expensive delays.

2️⃣ Designing for space instead of function ⚒
An extension should improve the way you live. Think about furniture layouts, storage, traffic flow and how the new space connects with the rest of your home - not just adding square metres.

3️⃣ Choosing a design that doesn't suit your property🏡
A well-designed extension should feel like part of the original house. Matching materials, rooflines and architectural details will create a more attractive finish and add long-term value.

4️⃣ Choosing a builder on price alone 💷
The lowest quote isn't always the best investment. Check experience, previous projects, reviews and exactly what's included before making your decision. A transparent quotation can save thousands in unexpected extras.

5️⃣ Not planning for natural light ☀
The position of windows, rooflights, glazed doors and the orientation of your extension all have a huge impact on how the space feels. Good design maximises daylight and makes the room more enjoyable to use year-round.

A successful extension starts long before construction begins. Careful planning, quality workmanship and the right team will help you avoid costly mistakes and create a space that's built to last.

🏡 Permitted Development or Planning Permission? Know the Difference!

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that not every extension needs full planning permission.

Under Permitted Development Rights, you may be able to build certain home extensions, loft conversions or outbuildings without submitting a planning application, but only if your project meets strict rules on size, height, location and design.

📌 A few important facts:
✅ Permitted Development isn't a free pass - there are specific limits you must follow.
✅ You may still need Building Regulations approval, even if planning permission isn't required.
✅ Flats, listed buildings and homes in designated areas such as the National Parks often have different rules.
✅ A Lawful Development Certificate can provide useful proof that your project was built legally.

Every property is different, so getting professional advice before you build can save time, money and costly mistakes.

Thinking about extending your home? Get in touch with Hurstmore Developments and we'll help you understand whether your project falls under Permitted Development or requires planning permission.
