What is a wraparound extension?
A wraparound extension combines a side return and a rear extension into one L-shaped addition. It gives the largest possible ground floor, often creating an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space across the whole width of the house.
How much does a wraparound extension cost in Troon?
In Troon, a wraparound extension typically costs £2,150–£3,100 per m² of floor area, including VAT at 20% (standard rate). For a typical 28 m² project that is roughly £60,000–£87,000. Prices in Scotland sit near the national average for this kind of work, and the range for Troon reflects that. Design, structural calculations and council fees are extra.

Questions about wraparound extensions in Troon
Is a wraparound worth it?
It gives the biggest ground-floor space without going upwards. Whether it adds value depends on your street and house, so we suggest checking local sale prices before committing.
What about the old back addition?
The side wall of the back addition is usually removed and replaced with a steel beam, so the old kitchen joins the new space.
