Hi Linda

Do you already have the washing mashing and dryer or could you buy a combined one. Could you also provided a quick sketch with the door and windows? do you all ready have the waste pipe in.

You could consider stacking the washing machine and dryer. I have also seen on the market a toilet that has a sink in top of it.

I hope you don't mind me saying but I think with your current budget, assuming this also includes the boiler, flooring, bathroom etc, you may be a bit limited in what you can do. Longer term I would create a bigger conservatory or extension. For now, I would remove the dining room wall (assume this is non-load bearing) and the loo and porch (but you'd need to check building regs for porch). I'd have the same layout kitchen but taking it to the conservatory wall and extending slightly on the right (if you want to keep lounge door). Personally I'd close off the lounge for sofa arrangement. Consider maybe a round dining table that sits where the existing kitchen/dining wall is and have pretty much most of the dining room as a play area. You can either put seating in the conservatory or the kids can also use this. If the shower room is big enough Id just add the WM (again need to check regs). Although you don't need a separate shower now you may well do in the future? If the WM doesn't fit, then remove the shower and keep the loo and sink. I think if you shop around you should be able to do a new kitchen, bathroom, utility, flooring, boiler and decorating within budget but extending space may be a phase 2. Get a local fitter or builder for kitchen and try howdens or ikea for the actual units. City plumbing are good for reasonably priced but quality bathrooms and I've heard good feed back re Victoria plumb.

Sorry- I don’t like your plan. In my opinion the space between the sink and hob is where the work happens so you are actually a bit tight for space. I think the door from the kitchen to the playroom is a massive fail- firstly you are inviting the kids to run past the cooking area, secondly is splits the kitchen and there are safety implication for having a walkway through the kitchen, I also think it makes your kitchen plan feel disjointed. I also think that if the children are young they won’t want to be in the playroom, they will want to be where you are. If you are worried about the playroom being dark this is easily sorted with better lighting and a pale coloured floor. Alternatively make this the grown up room and the kids playroom near the front door. I also think that putting the sitting area around the corner in the extension makes it feel enclosed and a little tight because of its location. I think you have put too many stools at the island and in reality people rarely use more than 3. In my opinion better to have fewer comfortable seats that are spread out with room to eat. I also think you missed an opportunity to have a cupboard near the front door to hide coats, shoes and a vacuum cleaner. I think that if you want an extra shower it may be easier to put this off the bootroom- a bigger utility/ bootroom area may help later to keep sports equipment/ dogs/ ironing etc etc out of sight. There is a privacy argument to put it where you have but I suspect the wall you have moved to take a corner off the kitchen is a job that will require a steel.

Move the stud wall over 5cms, so a 100cm wide 80cm deep pan will fit in. Still I find it very peculiar to have a shower only somewhere in a house, though I guess you have your reasons for it. :)

hi Anna, The position of the sink, washer and drier will determine the layout of the rest of the space as they require mains water and drainage. So I would speak to a plumber about where this can be accessed in the room in a practical manner. If the shower is to the left of this playroom, then that might be where the waste and mains water can go, and therefore you might be able to have joinery built-in along the bottom wall (adjoining the stairs) and then a full-height wardrobe on the other side along the 2.8m Wall.
