Comments (10)Most things are possible depending on budget though. First things first :- What are you trying to achieve? Do you want access to a loft room, is it to have a dormer window? If not, then you are restricted to accessing from either gable. Thus the only other gable is the Chimney stack side. How wide is the landing upstairs? I'd have to presume that the Chimney stack would have to go. If you were having a dormer or there is one already in the loft it makes life a little easier. There are options but they all depend on what you want to achieve and budget. For instance:- You could consider changing the conservatory in to a proper room, building up to create more floor space on the 1st floor and amending the stairs. You could go right up to roof height and create more room not only on the 1st floor but the 2nd floor too. If you are not intending on having a dormer in the loft, then moving the stairs to the only option on the left hand gable would involve taking down the Chimney stack, and, would be dependant on the width of the landing and whether or not you can fit a staircase in lengthwise along that wall. You can't fit in a dog leg as it would compromise either the access to the bathroom or the bedroom depending on which way the stairs run....See MoreVictorian Renovation in London Part 3 - Finish line?
Comments (240)Thanks - I have already fitted a horizontal column radiator in the hall: I have done this in most common areas. It's out of shot in the photo. In terms of off-whites, we have not used any. Either pure brilliant white (kitchen, window woodwork etc), or F&B Ammonite (the grey on the staircase etc) are the neutrals. I looking at something for the kitchen as the pure white is a bit harsh....See MoreVICTORIAN HOUSE KITCHEN REFURBISHMENT
Comments (14)Sorry for the delay in responding to the comments... Unfortunately, the after photo was a little dark and really doesn't show the transformation in it's best light - if you'll pardon the pun! The original kitchen was in an annex extension which was demolished, whereas the new kitchen forms part of a new, larger open-plan space. The tiles are Italian porcelain (check out tile suppliers on HOUZZ or alternatively someone like Topps Tiles who may do something similar). There is a mirrored shelf unit about the sink. We designed the internal refurbishment for our clients and they sourced the kitchen from Devol Kitchens. Here is a better photo (probably the one we should have used first....)...See MoreVictorian Renovation in London Part 4 - snagging and garden
