Changing house layout dilemma..help please
Comments (10)Hi there. What a fabulous house!!! What about for upstairs.... 1) open family bathroom up into bedroom 2 (on the plan it looks huge but dims suggest otherwise??) so you have a master with en suite in there instead. 2) turn bedroom 5 into the family bathroom. That room is less easy to use as a bedroom being long and narrow but could be a great bathroom especially as it looks like there is plumbing below already. Then you have 4 bedrooms, two with ensuite and a good size family bathroom. Keep us in the loop with what you go for...very exciting!...See MoreHelp needed to change flat layout & create 3rd bedroom
Comments (14)Hi again Jane. Any external changes, including windows, may require planning permission. If the property is a block of flats or mansion block this may be more of a challenge. You may have permitted development rights, which can be another good option. Any change, however small, is likely to be subject to a license to alter especially if there's a management company or a remote freeholder. This includes windows in any shape or form. As unreasonable as it may appear, The licensee / freeholder can quite legitimately sell you the space and the roof structure and then request a full license to alter application. It's also not a given that the you be awarded the license. Sorry if this comes across all doom and gloom. There usually ways design challenges. understanding all the risks as well as the potential is important....See MoreChange upstairs floor layout- please help
Comments (4)Depending on light/views plumbing etc... but I would want to do something like this. Keep the stairs at the front as it's so much more practical. Knock through and have a large kitchen diner at the back (remove stairs). Have the master with en suite at the back without staircase, then move the bedrooms plus make a bathroom upstairs too. I'd add a small utility and WC somewhere in the kitchen diner space too! Sounds like it's going to be a very tricky but amazing space if you get it right :) Is it a barn conversion? It would definitely be worth working with a good architect or designer/concept planner at an early stage to make sure you do!

Comments (32)Reading all of this, and in particular redrawing the plans, I am beginning to feel maybe I am guilty of misleading with respect to what goes where. Probably by labeling with the names given by the kitchen supplier. It didn’t seem to matter when I was concerned about rows of units creating a corridor. On my original plan the island unit was shown with six pan drawers, three of them will probably be used for food storage; for things like rice, the three types of flour, the four types of sugar and the pasta that we use regularly. Also things like tinned foods and probably breakfast cereal, tea and coffee. The larder on the other hand will likely be used for storing things like multi-packs of tins and the large packets of rice that get decanted to a container as needed instead of going out to by another small bag. So, looking at all this perhaps my original design does cover all the bases as far as the working triangle / functional areas goes. What does anyone think? Still wondering about that corridor though....See MoreDJB Photography
