Ideas needed please for bungalow layout
Comments (8)Purlins are horizontal roof structures- do you mean that or do you mean the the side walls in the upstairs space can not be removed. In my opinion you need to be able to knock through the existing walls upstairs otherwise this space won't be big enough for the ensuite bedroom you want. A friend if the family has recently done this in a 1950s bungalow without issue so don't assume it's a non starter. I would estimate the cost of removing the chimney to be £2800. If it were me I would site a bathroom between the two bedrooms on the right and make the kitchen big enough to be a kitchen diner. If you need an additional room downstairs you could split that large lounge....See MoreHallway advice for farm bungalow renovation please? Plans included.
Comments (26)I agree - I ended up removing altogether or switching the opening direction on a bunch of doors in my house so they worked better with the layout and furniture. To me the best option is pocket doors which allow the space to be completely open or closed off when needed but you still get a solid wall either side to put furniture up against. They seem to be more common in America and really need planning at the early stages so the 'pocket' can be built in from the beginning....See MoreNeed ideas for my "In Need of Modernisation" Bungalow

Comments (9)Really sorry- I am not keen on the kitchen in either option. In option one I think the hob is not ideal next to the breakfast bar and the oven has no Nearby set down space so is dangerous. I prefer option 2 but feel that the kitchen is in a less desirable part of the house and if feels smaller and therefore a step down from what you have now. If it were mine I would keep the dining room as a separate room but use it as a TV room or study. I would swap the kitchen and dining areas so the kitchen has more wall space and doesn’t have to be used as a cut through. I would make the breakfast room a shade larger with a bay window, have some low seating and some storage on the opposite wall. I would use this as a drinks room- during the day this could be lovely for breakfast coffee, when entertaining you could use this area for drinks....See More- 11 years ago
