Conservatory Kitchen knock through
Comments (6)Update: We have the new glass roof which is made of the 1.0 u value glass, we don't know the u-vlaue of the other glass windows and we haven't added curtains or any of the other things we said we would do yet (though we discovered the walls already have insulation), but I am happy to say we have noticed a positive change. We still have doors and walls between the conservatory and the kitchen, but since putting in the new roof the temperature difference between the conservatory and the kitchen has gone from aprox 7 degrees Celsius to 2 degrees. Hopefully it will improve with furniture, cork flooring etc. GOod luck with your project. K...See MoreAwful conservatory to a slightly less awful conservatory
Comments (18)Good shout - BUT if I was going to spend any money on that complete waste of space I would brick-up some of the windows, put some sort of hipped-roof on it, insulate it, and turn it into an actual usable space. It will now stay as it is for the foreseeable future and the doors will remain permanently shut with it not being used again for 7 months (April/May'ish) time for a couple of days before its gets too hot. This is the single thing I hate most about our house, it's frustrating as it's such a dead space. I even hate it more than the bidet in one of the bathrooms which wastes space and is pointless (apart from my 4 year old using it once to wash her hands as she thought that it was a childs sink)...See MoreGround floor renovation dilemma (extension vs conservatory)
Comments (7)Hi Navneet! Conservatories have very short useful times during the year. In the summer they tend to be way too hot and in the winter way too cold. So that's one thing worth deciding - is it comfortable enough to keep because you can use it for a lot of the year, or is it unused for a lot of the year. Some more questions for you, that I hope will help you define what you want: - is the conservatory blocking light into the kitchen? If so does this bother you? - Is the view of the garden more limited with the conservatory or do you enjoy the garden more from the conservatory? - Where would you have your dining table if not in the conservatory - the kitchen? Would this be big enough for you and for any entertaining you do - is the conservatory big enough for this now? Ask your local estate agent (perhaps the ones you bought through) about the impact on resale value for removing the conservatory. You should be able to replace the kitchen and bathroom for your budget. Depending on what materials, etc you choose. You could easily spend that £30k on just the kitchen if you wanted to! But equally you can cover a decent amount of redecoration and new fittings in that budget. I recommend that you keep a spreadhsheet to keep it on track. Hope this helps.

Comments (6)Some ideas instead of an extension: Convert your dining room to an entrance hall with plenty of storage. Switch the stairs the other way round so they come off your new hall. Then knock through so you have open plan kitchen/dining/sofas. Convert the back of the garage into a ‘garden room’ - looks like you get the sun in your back garden. If you don’t need all your bedrooms, convert the larger one downstairs to a snug/tv room or home office. Good luck!...See Moreminnie101
