The bricklayer should be able to work this out according to the door size and frame width.

So I've gone ahead with opening it up and it looks so much cleaner and light filled now. It still passes the building regs as there is a small landing box that the stairs lead to before you go into the loft room. Dimensions of the room are around 3m wide by 5m long and the area that was opened up was about 0.6m x 1m so not that significant (also the ceiling height was reduced here due to the eaves). Will post up pics soon to show the extra light bought in as a result. Thanks!

And how old are the kids? The summer house might be useful for them to make into a play den? Don’t know how safe the glass is though. And concerned about hard standing under swing gym set. However the garden would actually be pretty good if it was planted up around a centre lawn (mower could go in big shed) and everything tidied and power washed. Planting should be around lawn with room to walk between planting there and planting on perimeter to give a designed effect. The swing gym needs moving into shadier area whatever you do leaving you to make your evening warm sitting area. It could be a really good space and well worth some effort. :)

I am planning to have a utility and downstairs bathroom in my new extension. I am looking to combine the two and have set aside 4m x 2.32m. I need to have the following in it: - walk-in shower - sink - toilet - megaflo - boiler - washing machine - tumble dryer - space to hang clothes to dry - laundry basket - storage unit for vaccum cleaner, broom etc - jacket cupboard - shoe cupboard Is the space I have set aside enough to fit in all of the above? If no, what would the best dimensions be? I have to keep a length of 4m but can change the width. I have attached my utility plan. Thanks.
