Improve ground floor layout - Victorian House
Comments (20)Just a thought! For your first floor if you wanted to then it looks like there might be potential to create a more central bathroom on the landing and make the current bathroom, or part of it, into an ensuite for the back bedroom (number 3 on the plan). Not sure if a bedroom with ensuite and an extra bathroom is something you'd like to have, but it looks like this might be an option. Useful if you want a guest bedroom with an ensuite, or have teenage children who spend ages in the bathroom! I imagine you have the front bedroom as the masterbedroom, and it doesn't look so possible to create an ensuite for that room without taking space off the bedroom. Might be something worth considering. Having an ensuite is the second most frequently requested alteration that I get asked for. It would be worth asking your estate agent if doing this would improve the potential resale value of your home - if this is something you're interested in....See MoreHelp needed for new kitchen in Victorian house
Comments (2)Thanks Ellie, I know what you mean and that would make sense - but I have a window in the back of the living area which lets in lots of light to the main room. We are on a main road so the shutters at front of the house are always half closed for privacy. The bottom window gives us a pretty view onto the garden and lots of light. I'd hate to lose this within a toilet/utility room in a house which is already quite dark, especially the hallways. I could lose the utility room and just incorporate my white goods and larder within the new kitchen area so could just somehow squeeze a cloakroom in there somewhere. I'll keep trying. Thanks so much for your reply and thoughts. It's really appreciated....See Morehow to dress a Victorian Bay Window - living room
Comments (22)They are lovely windows! I think the windows would actually look better without the curtains. Do you close the curtains at night for privacy when sitting in the room? Or just close at night going to bed? I think shutters might look too much for the big windows and you need something simpler. I like roman blinds. Or how about just curtains at the 2 sides, and when pulled back at the sides they are swept away from the walls/windows.... or held back with a hook/holder?...See MoreRenovation and extension of Victorian terrace - need creative advice:)
Comments (10)Do you need to keep a downstairs bathroom, or are you happy to have only the en suite until the loft is done? (bearing in mind this may put buyers off if you end up selling before you do the loft). If you do then I agree with SpaceMaker’s idea of moving the bathroom to the dining room area if soil pipe allows. Or if soil pipe does not allow (eg if soil pipe runs back through the garden rather than under the house) then at least move the shower and sink, so as to leave only the loo carved off the kitchen. The dining room could divide into a bathroom and utility on the left hand side (using the under stairs space as well) and then a corridor through to the kitchen on the right. If you decide you don’t need the downstairs bathroom then you could have the same sort of division but make it a utility and study space. You will free up quite a lot of space if you take out the chimneybreasts - in your shoes and budget allowing I would keep the one at the front so you can have a nice fireplace/woodburner as a lounge focal point, but then take out the others. Certainly a side return extension, with glassed over side roof and glazed doors to the garden at the end, would have a big impact on the size and feel. Rooflights are cheaper than a full glass roof and have the benefit of being openable for ventilation in the summer....See MoreMarc Oliver Bathrooms
