Dear Hari

The extension is a bepoke steel and glass addition, with the garden lowered. This was part of an extensive whole house renovation. Just the extension part was in the region of £80,000 - £100,000.

Thanks for the reply.

I would like to do two storey rear extension. I live in London. Is it possible to do within the budget of £40k?

Regards
Hari

Thank you Carolina and Minnie. I'm still surprised people are so helpful on these forums- really grateful for everyone's advice! I'm no expert at design for sure - if it's xray guided surgery no problems haha. Carolina I'm glad you think the steps can look OK. I'm beginning to think maybe it might not look so odd. The kitchen design is just whatever the architect put together himself for the plans, but I'm yet to consider how to actually lay it out. Any advice? The idea for the 'utility' is that there will be long closet / cupboards from wall to ceiling with the washer and dryer hidden by those. I know it's called utility but in reality itll just be an extension to the massive hallway in order to get access to the kitchen and downstairs loo. Storing the washer and dryer there was a thought to utilise the remainder of that space. The reason it has to have a door is because the architect says new fire safety rules stipulate there has to be a fire door to a kitchen to prevent fire from spreading to the main house. Otherwise I would have just not kept that door at all and kept a big hallway. Although the hall is disproportionate, with the high ceilings, it is what we really liked about the property and gave a really nice airy feeling to the place. Minnie thank you for that link. What a stunning conservatory they've built. With regards to having one set of steps- I was thinking the same at one point - that maybe I could just keep one set of steps from the 'utility' down - and swap the kitchen and dining space. The only thing that I don't like about that idea is that I wanted there to be a free flow of space to go from the living room down into the extension too. But I guess you can't have everything in life and maybe having a bannister like they have in the link you've sent, would allow for that airy feeling and continuity of light. Should people need to go from the living room down into the kitchen they'd have to go through the 'utility'....

I’d take advice from an architect local to the property-they can also obtain pre-planning advice from the local council, I believe. If it’s critical to your buying decision, then it’s too important to rely on informal views and advice.

vaulted ceilings?

Hi Mimi, It will certainly be more expensive, as there will be financial implications on changing your roof structure (I am assuming you have purlins, braces etc.) so you might need additional support to compensate for this when you open up your roof into your first floor Master Bedroom. Also, the insulation required is a different kind (PIR insulation) which is more expensive than the standard Rockwool that is usually required on standard lofts with a flat ceiling, the labour cost will also mount up, and not to forget you will end up with more ceiling area, so more plasterboard / decoration etc. Having said this, it will create a wow effect (hopefully) if designed properly, so go for it if you can! And don't underestimate the lighting / rooflights / windows etc. Yes, triangular windows are difficult to dress, but not impossible! Irina

Dear Hari

We think that £40K would be insufficient for this type of extension.
It would also likely in our experience to be insufficient for a two story generally in London.
