Apart from being useful for storing wheelie bins, they\u2019re essentially dead space begging to be incorporated into the home. Although a side return extension may seem to add just a small amount of new space, it\u2019s not really the space that counts here. Instead, it\u2019s more about incorporating the new space to the original inside area and how you go about designing the new space as a whole. By opening up the small, narrow corridors of a typical Victorian terrace to create an open plan environment, you\u2019re naturally maximising your space.
