Converting 2 bed terrace house to 3 bed or 2 one bed flat.
Comments (11)I can see potential for a 3-bed by turning the downstairs reception room into a bedroom but I don’t think you’d fit a third bedroom upstairs. You could consider turning the downstairs shower room, or part of it, into a utility / laundry space. Changing to 2 separate flats could be problematic in terms of access to the first floor one - presume you’d need a shared entrance which would make accessing the ground floor front reception room more difficult. Also, I don’t know if you’d need any special permissions, plus extra fire / safety regs to turn a house into 2 flats. It seems to be potentially a lot more hassle to take that option....See MoreOld victorian home (London), converting one bedroom to bathroom

Comments (5)I think I’d look at using the current ground floor space for one bedroom then putting one bedroom in the roof. I’d imagine the current roof shape would need a complete change to get 2 rooms up there. Consider replacing the conservatory with a proper extension & put your kitchen in there with dining space & lounge as is. The current kitchen could be changed into a bedroom (possibly with en-suite if space allows as there’s existing plumbing there) plus space for stairs....See MoreThoughts on converted 2 beds and a bathroom into 3 beds and ensuite?
Comments (5)Hi Graham, Ah, that was confusing but makes more sense in terms of the existing floor plan layout. I still think you should have enough space to get a door directly into Bedroom 2 rather than into a small corridor. but you might have to have an angled wall to the dressing room to make it work for a standard-size internal door. What did you think about making the master bedroom smaller to give more room to the 3rd bedroom on that floor? It looks like your current extension plan adds a good total amount of space and especially on the ground floor. But it seems a shame that you end up with several bedrooms on the small side. Were there any restrictions which meant you couldn’t utilise more of the ground floor footprint on the upper floor levels? I would have thought that enlarging the existing rooms into the extension, or using the extension for the master bedroom suite would make the most of both the extra space and natural light. Maximising the possible size of each floor plan would improve the value for money on a multilayer extension like this and natural light could still be brought into the middle of every floor with a lightwell. But there may be restrictions which might make this not practical in this case. Would you consider a first-floor extension which partially or wholly creates a new master bedroom suite?...See MoreGlenn Cavill
