Hi kirsty. Do you need the 3 beds and an extra ensuite? The cost of moving the soil pipe to the other end of the house may be pretty expensive. I also think if you put an ensuite in you probably need a sink otherwise you'll still need to use the bathroom (you may also need to by law but am just guessing on that!) personally i would also arrange the living area to include a round table to seat at least 4. Maybe you could squeeze an "en suite" adjacent to the bathroom if you take some of the storage space too?. You will be left with a long narrow corridor but should be cheaper. You could also extend out next to the bathroom but then need to get light into that bedroom. Or using plan c extend out a little above the loo to include a sink. You could also remove the chimney in the back bedroom to allow for easier furniture arrangement.

Small kitchen. Have we planned the space OK?

Hi ! Thanks for the shout Boundsgreener ! With a room size like this - even with the obstacles you have - there's usually quite few different layout suggestions that could work ! (But if we were designing for you we'd need a lot more info about you, than is posted on here, to design this space optimally for you !) Some suppliers (European ones mostly ) do deeper than standard base drawer cabinets - that then allow wall unit storage to go from worktop to ceiling on the wall while still having a full depth worktop, and monster deep drawers, in front - can work well if you need extra storage, as long as you are tall /have a good reach! This, in addition to other fab suggestions above, could work on one side of this kitchen ... but I guess that also depends on your budget too ! re boiler placement - it's a good idea to start with that, by talking through the placement options first with a boiler installer ! Rather than designing the rest of the space first and then hoping where you place it will be ok ? The key things I'd suggest you reconsider on your plans posted here would be the DW placement - it's going to bang slap in the way when open here - and the worktop space between the hob and the oven housing - yes technically you could go as close as 150mm away from the tall cabinet - but in reality - it's always advisable to have a landing space for putting down hot things, either next to or directly opposite an oven - in this case you don't have that. Because your home needs to work well, not just now, but when you may have toddlers around your feet too - it's worth booking some quality time with a credible designer if you can - so if you have a supplier in mind - see if you can book some one to one time - to go through everything in fine detail with the designer, before you order ! Or if you are buying on a budget, from a warehouse type supplier - then there are a few of us totally independent designers around who can work with you ( I work remotely via email and calls etc) to get the design just right to tick all your boxes - then shop around with the plans ... (I know some people would say 'get a free plan done at a nice kitchen studio and then just use their plan' but that's not really fair on the studio and most are becoming wise to this now!!) Hope that helps a bit ?

Thanks for your advice - all v welcome. We're currently in the middle of the build and most internal walls are down so we have a pretty good idea of how it would look. We were going to put the hall wall back up again with double doors but now wondering whether to carry on with the destruction and go completely open plan. We're not sure about the practicality of such open plan living (heat, smells and so on) and also how it would be viewed by future buyers....

Hi Marina, Almost! I’d love the kitchen at the front but we have a very low window at the from and I think changing it wouldn’t look great from The outside. I’ve added some more photos from the day we moved in to give you an idea of the house from inside. We bought this house as a project and the idea was to live here for a few years and later release some equity to extend but my concern is that we move got on to the property ladder later in life and so out mortgage is already quite high. We can still release equity but the less the better really just to keep repayments manageable. The layout currently doesn’t work and houses in the area tend to take a while to sell I think because of it. We aren’t looking to sell for atleast 10 years. It changing the layout is a must. We had a builder take a look at our conservatory and he said a kitchen diner to the back would be best but I worry about the cost of doing that. Any advice or ideas is welcomed. Also to note, the conservatory doesn’t meet today’s building regs and so would need rebuilding.
