Reconfiguring upstairs
Comments (5)Thank you for your comments, it's great to get as much feedback as possible. There are a few reasons we plan to extend upstairs. The first, being we have a lovely view across our garden and the fields behind but from our master bedroom we have the view of a roof line of the ground floor extension below. So we either build an extension on top and it a master bedroom and reuse the roof tiles or make it a flat roof. Photos to follow.... The reason why we are keen to have a few en suites, is that at the moment we have 3 Monday to Friday lodgers that all share the same bathroom and we think it would be nice for the rooms to be self contained with their own bathrooms and it may add more value to the property in the future. The reason why I thought we could walk through the dressing room to the toilet, is my husband and I go to work at different times so we could sleep in the bedroom but get ready for work in the dressing room and sneak out whilst not disturbing the other sleeping beauty. Do you think I should have a door to the ensuite from the bedroom? Do let me know if I can answer any more questions...See MoreReconfigure upstairs or possible dormer extension?
Comments (0)Hello, I would very much appreciate some advice and I am a little at a loss what to do. We have saved around 25k and would like to add one bedroom upstairs to our property. Initially we thought of adding a dormer similar to the one that already exists on one side of the house on the other side (red outline of plans/ replacing solar panels on overhead image) but are now not sure we have the funds currently to do that. We then thought about changing some things around upstairs and would appreciate any guidance that could be offered. Perhaps the solution reconfiguring with a smaller dormer. I made the drawings myself so they are not the most professional and we have an architect coming over next week who is going to do a survey of the property and make some existing and proposed plans. Advice is more than welcome about the process or the property. Best wishes and thanks, Adam...See MoreHelp reconfiguring upstairs!
Comments (2)I see there two options - sacrifice Bedroom 6, remove wall between existing bathroom and Bedroom 6 and make it as one big bathroom. A second option is to sacrifice en suite of Bedroom 4 and unite en-suite with existing bathroom, then you will have one bigger bathroom to three bedrooms. How many people occupy those 6 bedrooms?...See Moreplease help - upstairs layout reconfiguration
Comments (4)Personally I think you should be taking a more holistic view of how to plan this house. I think you should be thinking of what you want from the house..... for instance you are planning a sizeable downstairs extension at the back.... having nearly doubled the downstairs space is the upstairs undersized? If you are going to extend the house significantly should you make it look more substantial and extend sideways? Do you need a garage and if so is the current garage wide enough? Do you need the option for further extension later in which case should you plan that now to ensure what you do doesn’t make it impossible?...See MoreLisa Woodall

It’s currently 3 bedrooms
The left room will be the main bedroom
The right one at the back of the house is fine but you have to go through the room on the right to get to the front bedroom which has a toilet.
So we want to put velux windows in the back of the roof giving more room in the two back bedrooms... and hopefully have enough room for a landing to then o into the front bedroom
Here are some photos not to sure how helpful

5 years agoLots of possibilities! Get an architect on board to discuss. Maybe extend out the back like this?

5 years agoIf the budget will stretch to extension then I would consider something like this.

5 years agoI think that you have budget enough to consider extending.
This plan is a little smaller so might well meet your budget.
In my opinion you could research the cost of builders in your area, cost any additional work you want to do then when you know how much square footage you can afford to build start exploring different layouts. A concept planner would be a cost effective way to do this.
