Hi Minerva, I think your house has lots of potential. I really like the large entrance area but I also think moving the WC there would be a better use of space. I would take out the existing wc and replace that area with glazed double doors that will give you sight lines from the front door all the way to the back garden. I imagine your current dining room and kitchen are very dark and I notice you have the lights on during the day. The remedy for this would be to remove the load bearing wall between the two areas to create a spacious open plan area. I would move the kitchen to the back and add an island with bar stool seating. I would also have the living area at the back with direct access to the garden and remove much of the rear wall and replace with glazed bi fold doors. I would expand the under stairs storage to create a utility room and consider keeping the fireplace with a fire (gas or electric) as a feature of the dining space. I would also replace what is currently the kitchen door with a window seat and replace a section of the fence facing it with a vertical garden. I think this design would give you a four great open plan spaces dining, kitchen, living and window seat/reading nook. Overall giving you a spacious, light filled house with great sight lines throughout. Window seat inspiration:

Hi, If you open the plan (big beam below existing rear wall) then I would move the kitchen in the new extension, put the toilet and utility where the kitchen is now, but to be honest the options are endless.. Feel free to get in touch if you need help with the design and drawings. Cheers

Yes the idea is to make better use of the space, even an utility room may work, as I said I find it a waste to have that size of bathroom. One of my concerns is that the wall between the bedroom and bathroom may be a bearing wall, something I need to find out. Here is the plan with the dimensions, sorry handwritten:

Thanks Jonathan - like the look of this although forgot to mention that the property is Semi-detached so no windows available on the right side so would need to open the garage up in its entirety to achieve this (would give a big study/family area though!)
