Bungalow layout ideas please
Comments (10)Having had time to 'play' on the floor planner, I came to realise that gaining the two things that you would like the most, storage and an extra loo, were not that easy. If you go with my original idea of moving the entrance it does make for a much larger master bedroom ( gaining storage ) Going in to the Workshop from the house leads to more storage and the possibility of a guest room, which you also wanted. I think the only way to gain a lot of space and storage is to build the porch and it makes sense that if you were going to do that, you'd make it large enough for plenty of storage for the coats / shoes etc. At the same time ( as it would be cheaper and easier ) you would also build a utility room on the same patch as the porch at the rear of the kitchen. Instantly gaining huge amounts of storage. I know that you didn't want to extend, however, the plan allows for a re-jig without the porch or utility and for these to be added if you re-consider. I don't think the layout lends itself readily to a staircase in to the loft. You could put a staircase at the bottom end of the lounge, however, i honestly think the money would be better spent on a porch and utility. Bedroom areal blown up Kitchen / porch / utility blown up A concept planner is a must with this type of project. They take on board what you want, have a good old re-jig as above and come up with various ideas. They can then blow them up in 3d and give you a 'virtual ' walk about, so that you can visualise more easily what it will look like. I've done everything 'roughly' to scale and used full sized objects for the rooms, so you get a rough idea! You do need to start with a budget as Jonathan says, otherwise you can have all the grand plans in the world, but if the money isn't there, you need to taper the ideas....See MoreLayout and renovation ideas please - 1930's bungalow
Comments (10)Hi. Only need 1 bedroom and 1 multi-use room (study/extra storage/sofa bed for guests). No plans for stairs - we're heading for retirement and thinking about the future. Have thought about a small extension. Would be good to get everything done for under 50k (need some repairs and new windows that will take about 20 of that I'm guessing). Would stretch the budget if an extension gave us a layout that really works for us....See MoreBungalow Layout Ideas
Comments (6)Good morning Scott, Happy New Year! We recently provided a first time buyer with a budget cost estimate for similar works. The budget cost estimate provides a detailed breakdown of works and expenses as well as highlighting potential areas where you can save money. They were then able to determine whether they wanted to go ahead with the purchase of the property. If this is something of interest please send the plans and photos to hello@nestestimating.co.uk and we can provide you with a quote...See MoreAny ideas for bungalow layout and possible extension?
Comments (12)It can be done within your existing footprint, but I am worried about the budget - extension or no extension. After ensuring the structure is safe: 1. Open Plan - Open up the wall between kitchen and dining room to give you your open plan living. Insert a doorway to new OP kitchen from the Lounge 2. Bigger Bedroom 3 - Extend the wall between the Living Room and new Open plan Kitchen and square it off when you get to B2. Remove the existing door wall to B3 to make it bigger. Insert a new doorway for B3 into the new wall 3. Larger Bathroom - extend the cupboard (outside the bathroom) depth till it is level with the bathroom door. Square it off with the bathroom and open it up into the bathroom. With the larger Open plan room, you will have plenty of cupboard space in there 4. Utility room - I’m afraid you’d have to lose your cloakroom. Alternatively, you could use the enlarged cupboard o/s the bathroom and not have a larger bathroom. Tbh, the bathroom is big enough. You could move the toilet to where the shower is, and have a nice walk-in shower on the wall opposite the bath wall, and with nice lighting and fittings, you could make the existing bathroom ‘wow’. PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS :) 1. Unless you are a builder intending to do the works yourself, your budget may leave you with a shell only, but not a nice place to live. With these sort of works, ideally, you should do a full refurb. Twice the sum, and you’ll have a great luxury interior place. Good luck....See Moremckevis
