floor plan idea please

7 years ago

My downstairs floor plan is like this(ignore room sizes) but I need utility, study, ideally plus play room for my son. I don't mind open planed kitchen with diner. at the moment I can't put dining table in the kitchen as it's not that big enough, and dining room is double size. Please help.

I think you need to draw this to scale properly ( or ask someone to ) so that people can help - at the moment it's a bit confusing.

Also there are different regulations about opening up walls to staircases for different types of homes... so need more info on type of home /how many floors /multi home building or single home building ... etc etc

If you have any specific items of furniture to keep in people would need to know that too.. ie 2.6mx1.8m L shape corner sofa left hand part the short bit . 2.1m x.9m dining table etc etc .

The kitchen cuts the room in half at the moment - perhaps having a table in the middle with kitchen arranged in various zones around the perimeter may work ? But without knowing the true sizes involved it's very difficult to say !

I haven't got an actual floor plan yet but I will post as soon as I get one from my solicitor with more details in as it's under the contract. Thank you OnePlan.

This wall is the original outside wall of the building and it can be removed but will require steels to hold up the wall above it. Everything is possible but this is the second time you have posted the same dilemma in a month suggesting you need help beyond this forum. Firstly consider your available budget- this house will likely require £50k worth of upgrades like kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, decorating, window treatments, lighting etc etc. So to consider building work such as raising the dormer at the side, knocking down walls and reconfiguring the interior you will need tens of thousands more (this is mentioned as I don’t believe you have stated your budget). My next step would be to an architect with a structural engineer friend- you need to be realistic about what you can and can’t alter within your budget. The architect will help you realise what you need the house to do, what planners are likely to say and give you sound advice about layout including help to realise how big the front bedroom would be if you squeeze an ensuite into it, the implications of moving the living room wall to make the hallway bigger, and the feasibility of adding an additional wc near where your workspace for visitors.

Was going to suggest exactly what @Cherub Pebble said. Combining dining room and kitchen basically just turns one odd shaped room into a bigger odd shaped room and if you want to include a utility with garden access this would have to be where the current kitchen is (blocking the flow between the front and back of the open-plan), or at the back where the current patio doors are (which is probably your prime area in terms of light and views). If you have room dimensions that you could share, that would be helpful!

Thanks for all the ideas - we have now bought it and just debating how to make it more open plan. 2 things we are sure of - keeping the kitchen where it is, (for costs), and splitting the garage to the front part is a storage area and the back half is a nice area with bifold doors. Purpose tbc! Maybe a lounge… maybe a play area…. Ideas welcome!

I think this might be the quickest/cheapest option. Assuming the space is big enough and is constructed in the same manner as the rest of the house (not single skin like a garage etc). Remove the door and replace with a window then build a wall to separate from the kitchen. Couple of days work plus decorating time.
