Suggestions for Floorplan & extension ideas
Comments (10)Hi Melanie, Anne and Jonathan’s ideas both look great. If you go ahead with a loft conversion you could probably add a dormer extension without needing planning permission. This would add usable space with sufficient head height, and also add a great feature window to make the most of natural light and views. It looks like you would have space to add a full-size staircase above the existing one to provide access, which is preferable to a fixed ladder or space-saving stairs! From experience, I have found the biggest issue in loft conversions is the existing structure which should be considered carefully. As the floors may need to be reinforced with new timbers and even steels, and if there are any braces or trusses these may need to be removed to create a usable space but other supports may be needed to compensate. Here is a quick design that I came up with for a ground floor redesign. It’s smaller than both of the others but integrates the whole garage into the inside space. (This might not be suitable for you but i thought it was an interesting idea that you might not have thought of, and you have other great options to choose from!) So the living room is attached to the dining area, with the fireplace made double fronted. the back wall is opened up in 2 places into a kitchen all the way across the back righthand side. This has a fully glazed roof on the left to bring in as much natural light to the kitchen and living spaces, and a set of standard rooflights over the worktops area. The study becomes a utility with some space given over to a shower added to the WC. And the existing kitchen becomes a new larger study/downstairs bedroom. Here is the sort of dormer you might be able to add to maximise usable space Please let me know what you think. I have another to swap the kitchen and dining area from this version. And I wish you all the best with your project!! Phill...See More2 Bedroom Semi Detached Corner Plot - Extension Ideas
Comments (14)The average cost of a 20sqm extension is £44,000. This varies across the country and can vary depending on choices such as the roof, exterior materials and glazing. Interior work like taking down a wall starts at about £1,500 but you need to remember this can add lots of follow on jobs such as having to move radiators and electrics and put down a new floor…. So a job that starts at £1500 can easily become a £5,000 job. But since you have a good budget I think you should be investigating building to the side because this allows upstairs extension possibilities. You first step should be to call your planning office at the local borough council for some free advice about what will be permitted....See MoreSingle storey front extension ideas 1960s house
Comments (3)Hi! It can be a little trickier to get a front extension than other types of extension. Is there any precedent for this in the street? It's not impossible to do, but it may need more of a robust argument and a higher standard of design to get planning permission to do it. For that you're best to work with a good architect who knows how to get planning permission. You have quite a nice buff multi brick, which could look nice with something like a zinc cladding adjacent to it if you want something contemporary looking that isn't render or timber cladding. I'd love to help you with this. I have a sketch plan service which you can find out more about here: https://www.i-architect.co.uk/bpp.html Happy to have a video call to chat about this if you prefer to discuss it before booking. Best wishes with your home redesign!

Comments (6)I don't want to sound negative but in light of the fact that you would wish to change/extend so much of the house I would be tempted to keep house hunting. It is not impossible that you might find something closer to the layout that you are seeking to create. Everyone wants to put their stamp on a house but it's a slow, expensive and messy process....See More
