Victorian Terrace Side Return Extension/bathroom location dilemma!
Comments (2)A bathroom at the front may not be completely out of the question. We have previously installed a bathroom and en-suite back-to-back with the latter to the front of a Victorian mid-terrace. The soil pipe ran horizontally down in the middle of the house (where wears added a downstairs WC beneath the stairs), and ran beneath the suspended timber floor (with the correct fall) on the ground floor to the drains at the rear of the property. Without knowing more details it is difficult to say for certain whether it would work, but it is possibly worth exploring....See MoreToo much faff and expense?

Comments (9)A S. That looks like a great idea, actually if we kept bathroom the same (it's already been newly done) and left the external wall into the cupboardy bit the same/no need for re-enforced beams and have washer/dryer stacked in the cupboard space, all we would need is the support between kitchen and living room which would work out much cheaper than I think my initial model would be (and possibly a little more practical too, and possibly more value) Here is a bit of a prototype of the size of the space we'd have to play with, I think it would be big enough for our needs (not massive amount of worktop space which is something we'd hoped for, but really I think it's enough) and also some space to fit a small table and 4 chairs in front of french doors and means not having to rip out whole of bathroom downstairs. I think I may take some advice from temple274 too, and instead of building whole bathroom upstairs and trying to readjust windows, I'll just make a small ensuite in top right corner of bedroom 2. I've seen little porthole windows you can get, but equally like temple274 says all I'd really need is adequate ventilation. All in all I think this new plan is better and more cost saving than the original!! I knew coming here would be a good idea! Thanks all x...See MoreHelp: advice on moving bathroom in bungalow
Comments (3)Hi John, I have made some assumptions: - You do not want to extend the house - You don't want open plan - You don't want a bigger kitchen So firstly going for a pee at night from the master bedroom to the bathroom must be a real journey!... Bedroom to hall, to lounge, to kitchen, to porch, to bathroom! And then all the way back again! So the first thing I did was give the master bedroom an en-suite. This would be done by moving the bedroom door towards the front. The remaining space would become a wardrobe. I think your idea of putting the bathroom between the bedrooms works well. I don't however think adding an "L" to the corridor would be a good use of space. I would use a pocket door as a space saving solution. I would recommend moving the dividing wall so that the space is shared equally between the two rooms. The remaining space again used for built in wardrobes. In the kitchen I would extend the boiler cupboard to create a utility space and where the bathroom was I would create a new dining area with a generous sized dining table. You could also use bench seating along the wall for even more seating. I have shown swinging doors, for example for the utility room and the en-suite, but pocket/ sliding doors offer great space saving solutions....See MoreMoving kitchen from front to back of house
Comments (2)Before you get you heart set on it - check where you can get the plumbing in and out again.... walk around the house and see where the exit pipes are or any man hole covers etc and if you have any plans that show drains that’s useful to look at too....See More
