What porch extensions in Greetham usually involve
We build brick, stone, glazed and oak-framed porches that match the house, on proper foundations, with the permitted development check done first.
Greetham is a limestone village just west of the A1, with a historic core of stone cottages and farm buildings, later infill and estate housing, and Greetham Valley on its edge. Many drives here are being widened for more cars or replaced after decades of gravel.
We cover Greetham (LE15) and the villages around it, including Cottesmore, Stretton, Clipsham, Exton and Thistleton.
Ground, drainage and conservation in Greetham
Greetham sits on the Lincolnshire Limestone, which generally drains well, though Rutland's flood strategy names Greetham among the places with a few properties at river flood risk, so low-lying plots need more thought.
Greetham has a conservation area and no Article 4 direction. Outside listed buildings, front driveways and walls follow normal permitted development, and stone-coloured materials suit the village.
Rutland's flood strategy names Greetham among the places with a few properties at river flood risk. You can check any address on the Environment Agency flood map.
