I am trying to figure out how the grow box is constructed to prevent leakage into the shed.

We used an EPDM membrane under the substrate.

I agree, new front door, and some planting. The main problem is that everything is unrelieved red-brown! walls, windows, door, drive. Except the garage door, which then looks like a mistake! This is a common problem. You need to break up the brown. Render or cladding is probably overkill, there are more subtle solutions. Please don't put in an oak or stained timber door. It might look great in its own right, but will just be changing one brown for another! A painted timber (or composite) door would be best, with the garage door painted to match. Choose a shade of grey or green, avoid red and purple, as you need a good contrast to the brick. Ideally change the windows to cream, or grey-green, but if not, try the shutters. They are a bit 1960s, but might actually suit the style of this house! Painted to match the doors. Consider taking up some small areas of paving near the house to allow planting to create a break between the brick drive and the brick house!

Having just finished our renovation, which sounds similar to yours with an added full "roof off" loft conversion ... imagine stairs becoming a waterfall feature, I kid you not ... I can say with experience that the dust (and wood shavings, rubble, mud, screws, nails, bits of wire ... and much much more) gets absolutely everywhere. Covering stuff will help, though the covers themselves will get filthy so it's practically impossible to keep things 100% clean. You don't say if you're going to be living in during the build, but we did throughout the majority of ours so some things were out all the time (TV, sofas, beds). Despite all of that, most of our stuff has emerged pretty much unscathed.

@Patrina, I’m into my cars and one thing I wanted was a decent size garage to be able t work on them too, I remember when I seen the outline in lime on the ground I immediately added another meter both ways as it looked too small! glad i did as it gave me a decent space to work in :-) I’ve a large air compressor, hydraulic car lift, it’s even painted, floored and pics with spotlights over them! Lol I’m so sad!

Ellie, Jonathan – thank you both for your replies. Apologies in advance for long post! Ellie: Regarding hallway /entrance it feels very narrow with view directly onto stairs rather than any sightline through to rear of house moving the wall is partly aesthetic & partly practicality of dragging bulky items through narrow entrance (appreciate point that things will change as kids grow) perhaps opening up the entrance to front reception room will create more light and feeling of space without moving the wall + redecorating hallway to create lighter / updated space will improve the aesthetic Downstairs WC thanks & what I have been thinking too (wife disagrees & thinks 1st floor loo is sufficient) Alternative is trip upstairs each time (toilet in cellar will be removed entirely as we find it’s not really usable (down steep stairs, at back of utility which is invariably cluttered & pokey space (c. 175cm ceiling height). Would prefer to reclaim the space and create a bike rack on that back wall instead Kids / Parent Bedrooms all on same floor Perhaps we are too relaxed as parents but this doesn’t feel so important to us (at least right now). Use video monitors so hear every squeak and have stair gates fitted Jonathan: Where to start – you have definitely given lot of food for thought & thank you for the drawings! General point about use of rooms changing over time is well taken. Lower level: Like your idea re curving stairs to hall. Only issue I see with that is how to navigate a large bike through 90deg angle – that would put me off Will remove the loo as it’s not usable in our view, recycling the space for bike storage (wall racked) Revised utility position – that space is all currently occupied with boiler / water tanks etc so not practical to move In general looking to spend minimal amount on this space – decorated to OK standard. What is missing is smart storage & better insulation as some damp penetrating from the portion of basement which has not been dug out Ground Floor: Generally like your suggestions and hadn’t thought about putting kids in front room rather than middle room Flexi doors rather than completely blocking front and middle reception rooms could work well while keeps light flowing through / preserves front to back view Flex room concept is interesting but I don’t think it solves long term problem of boot / coat storage & something I am struggling with Another potential solution for boots / coats etc. may be to steal space from kitchen (say 1.5m) and create a storage room on left hand side, while also extending hallway and cellar stair entrance to keep symmetry (which can deliver further shelving / pantry storage in that additional space on right hand side) By doing that we could keep our existing front reception room as is (add flex doors) & use that for tv / quiet time, have kids playroom in middle reception close to kitchen & get long term fix for boots / jackets 1st floor guest bedroom - Point well-made re. stairs for grandparents Master bedroom vs. Formal Reception Depends on what plan we go with downstairs obviously Neighbours have formal reception in this space with small office to rear (where our existing en-suite sits). Certainly worth considering & offers better view than downstairs reception 2nd floor If moving master bedroom would basically look to replicate the existing master on 1st floor but shift it one floor up (L-shaped with walk-in wardrobe space & en-suite beyond) Could turn existing office space into the exercise area (if shifting office a floor down to rear of new formal reception) but eats into master bedroom space or have it in Loft Loft If we want to keep large master (while moving formal reception room) then we will struggle to use this for anything other than bedroom (likely with en-suite) and possibly small exercise area as that would give us 4 beds overall To me, the biggest change from your suggestions would be in moving the master bedroom as has a large knock-on effect. It does offer chance to return that flex room (at some stage) to a formal dining room, keeping reception room on 1st floor and having a separate tv room. Would welcome any view also on the boot room / coat storage /downstairs WC dilemma! Finally a concept planner is next stop once we have had chance to get clearer idea of what we need vs want. Many thanks
