Hello There,

This project was extended using Permitted Development Rights that the property had in 2012, which was 3m back from the "original" (from 1934) rear of the property. Therefore, what we did here was extend to 'infill' the side annex which existed between the old kitchen and the rest of the house, this allowed us to create this large open plan living area to the back, as well as create a W.C and utility room between this space the front 'formal' living room.

The width of the house was around 6m and we placed the new wall just to the back of the existing staircase - opening out and supporting the walls above with a steel frame. This resulted in a room which was just over 6m by just under, with a 36 sqm floor space.

The l-shaped kitchen is tucked away in line with the utility and wc behind it, for services (such as water and gas), the dining room was then placed below the only part of the room which does not have beedrooms/ floor above, thus allowing us to insert two flat, fixed skylights. In this room is also a living area, with sofa and TV - defined by a rug and a computer desk/ home office.

I hope that this helps and let me know if you need any other information.

Many thanks,

Kathryn

Thank you so much for your detailed response! Do you have any pictures of the utility room/wc created? And just so I'm visualizing this correctly, am I right in thinking the WC and the utility was created under the stairs? Sorry for all the questions, just this is a fantastic use of space and I'd love to be able to replicate it one day!

Single wall kitchen with island. Is it possible with these dimensions?

@minipie I could put the fridge freezer on the main run of the kitchen, but that would then reduce the work surface on that wall - and the work surface is sure to be small as it is. If I turn the island 90 degrees to be parallel to dining table then it would mean that neither the hob/oven/fridge/sink would be behind me. I would have to walk from the island across to the main run for everything...... not sure how practical that could be. And if I did do that then, I would have a nice view while working at the island but anyone sitting on stools would be looking at the staircase, which wouldnt be right. @Heather - the space is already 5 x 6 m almost - I dont think we need to add an extension. That should be enough space for a decent kitchen with dining table. I dont need any extra living space either as we do have 2 large lounges. Keep the suggestions coming, thanks!

If you are thinking to tuck a chair under so that’s out of the way, I would perhaps go He length of a chair and just over, to give room to put things on the desk itself. I measured my standard minimal but comfy dining chair and that was 40cm excluding the backrest. So perhaps go 45cm wide? Also think about using a ‘leggy’ chair, just like in the photo so it doesn’t take much visual space.

I have a 1400 x 800 shower, was going for walk in but bathroom fitter advised against it. We have a sliding door, easy clean, expensive one. I am glad i didn't go for the walk in because honestly 1400 is too small. Why not go for 1600 with a walk in, or 1400 with sliding door. By the way the small gap can he easily sorted by your tilers. They'll make recommendations when they come n to quote. Such a common problem for them to solve. I'll try to attach a pic of my showerso hopefully you'll see that 1400 ight be too small for a walk in.

Ah, @Daisy England, I too am a fan of L-shaped corners - but not in the 900x900 variant, which I find far too awkward to access, as the opening is only 4520ish diagonally. But my main kitchen provider does truly wonderful options in 1030x1030 (2x 400 doors, 570w diagonal) and a whopping 1080x1080 (2x 450 doors, diagonal opening of 650 ish). They are a really great & inexpensive way to kit out a corner and keep everything accessible. Or for compact kitchens my German manufacturer does a really great 800x800 L-shaped carousel unit - great for tight spaces! Caldicot Kitchens

Hello, yes - I will find them and can send them to you, if you'd like to PM me your email address?

The layout was; walk in to the right of the terraced property and the stairs were in front on the right hand side. To the left is the front formal living room, behind this to the left (so not under the stairs) is a utility room (run of units including washer and dryer) which lead to a W.C. From the hall, you walked through double white tall doors into the open plan kitchen, dining, living room which opens out to the colourful garden with bifolding doors.

We also have existing and proposed plans of this and other similar projects. The Wilsedon Green Projects (Marc & Stef) also feature a central utility/ W.C off open plan.
