I have been looking at house plans for quite a long time. I love the look of the old fashion /traditional homes and haven't found one I have liked as much as this one. Any ideas?

Being totally honest - as I always aim to be ... having a software package doesn’t instantly make you a concept planner.... yes it’s fun for home owners to ‘have a go’ at planning their own project and I enjoy seeing some of the ideas that others who have downloaded software come up with on these sort of dilemmas for people, and some of the ideas that come out on these threads are great - but some are so way off the mark and not inline with building regs that I do worry that there will be comeback if people go ahead and use them. I can just see it now ‘but it said it on Houzz, so it must be ok’ - no, not necessarily! Don’t get me wrong , I have the greatest respect for the people who regularly offer their time and ideas on here - but please please please homeowners, don’t always assume that these ideas are finished and viable... They are ideas, suggestions, something to print off and to take with you for your meeting with your builder/ architect/ design and build contractor etc ie to discuss and take to the next level if they prove to be viable. Sorry if this comes across as grumpy - but I’ve just had to squeeze in an extra project, as an emergency, for a lady who’d followed some really dodgy advice from a family member who thought they could ‘be a designer’ - the building inspector disagreed - and it’s going to cost that poor lady lots of money to rectify it, and make her home safe again. I have your interests at heart Houzzers ! :-)

I like Kerry Bryan’s first photo. I’m thinking maybe a hip to gable dormer window conversion above the garage with two dormer windows. Replace red tiles with black. Then stone cladding and white render with grey windows, not sure which stone yet or where. Not sure yet how to tackle the right side of the house and feel the window positions don’t look right

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions, from not knowing where to start I've got lots of good ideas ... and would still welcome more. Just so you know the canvas above the glass table in the hallway is actually wired with LED to light up - it's an Arabic scripture reading "God bless this house and those who enter" which was an important feature for us to have ... so I'm afraid it's staying lol! I love the idea of black and white prints going up the staircase ... but it's all starting to look a bit too grey toned in the hallway and would like to inject some colour but at the same time it needs to complement the flash of turquoise in our canvas without clashing .... herein lies the problem for me whereas someone else I'm sure can effortless throw complimenting and colourful accessories in! I tried putting a plant on the glass table and it looked a bit odd to me ... maybe an orchid in a colour that will go with the turquoise ... which will then also have to complement the artwork on the stairs ....!! Dilemmas!!! lol

What planning should i consider for future home automation ?

Almost everything can be controlled wirelessly but of course you will need a power supply in the right place. This means if you want an electric gate, or a security entry system, outside security cameras, or garage door opener, or automatic window blinds or garden lighting you need to put a power supply to unconventional locations in your home. You might also consider where the burglar alarm might go, where you will charge your cordless vacuum (might need a socket under the stairs), where you intend to put your router too. You should also consider the demands on your power supply, ensure your consumer unit is big enough and consider what energy saving options you might choose to balance your bills (such as solar power or Air Source heat pumps). Since you are stripping everything back consider underfloor heating for a cleaner look (but check out if this affects your future ability to get grants for an ASHP). And since you are stripping everything back consider getting professional advice on creating the right atmosphere rather than putting spotlights everywhere which can over light a room.

How do you know when to hire an architect and when to try and find house plans to fit your needs.....

I think you should always use an architect! Every site and every owner's needs are different, and there is nothing better than a custom designed house for a perfect fit! It is well worth the upfront expense, you will save money in the long run!
