Stairs layout London Victorian End of Terrace
Hello folks. I'm a bit puzzled about whether the layout of the house could be altered to allow for stairs up to the loft from the landing (it's currently in the cupboard space in bedroom 2) - and slightly diffrently, whether you could reconfigure entirely to have stairs that go up the side of house rather than middle? Looks a bit impossible....if you wanted to get into the bathroom!

Comments (6)Yeah sure, I doubt we'll do anything upstairs other than steal some space from the back bedroom to enlarge the bathroom and remove the bathroom / toilet partition. Our vision for upstairs would be to use the middle bedroom as closet space and master ensuite, back bedroom for office space, go into the roof for 2 additional bedrooms plus bathroom for kids but we won't be able to afford that at the moment....See MoreVictorian terrace - kitchen layout ideas
Comments (4)I think the utility planned on design 2 is a counterintuitive idea. Why extend a space only to split it in two again? In my opinion and will isolate the middle room, divide the house in half and devalue your efforts to make it bigger. Given your bathroom is spacious I would put the washing machine upstairs but you could also leave the washer in the kitchen and if concerned about noise intrusion just put it on when you leave for work. And if your music is important to you then why not have the front room as a music room/ living space and the open the middle room up to the largest room at the back?...See Morecreativee17

6 years agoSo, in the end, I have gone for the following house - and any advice about the side extension limitations would be very much appreciated!
You'll see I've drawn a line on the floorplan (not quite accurate), that's the wall that runs the length of the end of the back gardens (that street is at a right angle to my street) and is in fact a further away from the side of the house - perhaps that distance again.
The current lean to, despite being drawn as a square, in fact goes across the side access. Also drawn in. So, could I extend up to the boundary at the back? I'd like to basically square off what's there currently - so get rid of lean to and make the kitchen/bathroom a kitchen diner. This would cut off side access.
I'd move bathroom upstairs to back bedroom (3) - so likely to do that first, where would you run soil pipe? Boiler is located in lean to presently.
Many thanks!

Here's a pic from the front, so you get an idea of what I mean. The white door at the side is straight into the lean to.
