I think that the old layout is better for maximising space and really allowing room and light. Now that you have a smaller table so the space looks neater, you can reposition the big sofa along the wall (put the longer side to the wall by the table). I have attempted () to draw "before and after" layouts for you. Tell me what you think. Best regards, J

Thanks, Colourhappy. I'm still struggling with deciding. Not sure if I messed up the votes due to the wrong info ie we aren't having side porches now and I did forget to split the one room down on the vote option so it looks like it's one large room instead. As we don't use the dining room (only time we do is for a dinner party), it makes sense to us to put it in the smaller section and keep the original rooms which gives us a lot more useful storage/utility room. Only thing putting me off is that we need to keep the chimney in the dining area as we can't put the wood burner in the lounge as the back as it's too near a window. Doh. I might start a new thread and just ask people why they prefer one over the other as I think people just vote in the poll and don't read the thread.

That is a hard call. I slightly prefer the three bedrooms. But I do not like the long Hall way inside the double doors of the master bedroom. I feel this will be rendered a useless space by the swing of the double doors. It might be better to give this to the landing. But then your making the bedroom smaller, which isn’t good. Alternatively use a single door. You will still be walking down a corridor thou to get to your bed. I prefer the orientation of the bed in this design. For such a beautiful and spacious home, your walk way up to the bed in one design is quiet tight. I’m not sure you are quiet there yet. You don’t want to go to all this bother & cost and not tick all the boxes. Ask yourself some questions; The extra bedroom is very small in comparison to the grand size of the other bedrooms. Will it ever be used? The en-suite has a toilet under a window. Are you happy with that position? How large a space do you need for clothes, shoes, handbags etc? Do you need a space for a dressing table? Do you want ample room to walk around the bed? Consider the orientation of the master bed from two points. A when you walk into the room & B when your in bed. Do you want the main bedroom to feel spacious or is storage etc more important. Sometimes asking questions finds clarity and then you can make the right choice for you. I hope this helps.

So, he has come back with his ideas which bring nothing to the party as still just has the sunroom added on to the middle of the back of the house. I did however, remember that he had sent us another house type along time ago which we had ruled out then. ive attached his original sketches and then my very very basic and rough ideas of ehat we could do. Have added the bay window to the smaller reception room as its the exact same size as pur current living room (same builder) and gives it a tiny bit more space than just the normal flat windows.
