1970s Bungalow Renovation
Looking for some design inspiration to renovate an old bungalow! (120m2 + 20m2 garage)
The 4-bed existing bungalow has the living areas to the north and the bedrooms to the south, we would like to flip this and build an open plan living area extension (40-60m2) to the southern corner which opens onto a large rear garden.
The front door is currently between the garage and the house, any ideas how to get from the front door to the living area? We would be open to moving the front door and any other modifications.
We would like to make it a 5 bed with a study and utility room.
Here is the existing layout

Comments (16)Hi Stacy. I think weatherboarding will work for the look you're after. Would you paint it all one colour? My only worry was whether it would all be a bit one dimensional and whether the boarding would make the ground floor look lower ( I've drawn it out though and it doesn't seem to make any difference but that could be my lack of drawing skills!) I wonder if you could add a porch with weatherboard like this with either side of the front rendered and painted? The porch doesn't have to be as complex/expensive as this with the steps etc. I've had a similar size ŵall rendered and it was about £150 from memory so the cost would really be for the porch. Can you or your husband draw? It may be an idea to sketch out various options (with colour!) to see what you like then get quotes on the various options http://linleydevelopments.co.uk/portfolio/bungalow-to-a-chalet-style-conversion/#prettyPhoto[portfolio]/1/...See More1970s Apartment Kitchen Renovation Project.

Comments (3)I think it’s difficult to tell from this picture. Assuming this is the front of the property I think it’s odd to have patio doors- perhaps the solution is to have an enclosed patio near them. Also it’s difficult to work out where the front door is. That being said it is certainly no ugly duckling and the plot looks lovely...See MoreFrank D
