Floorplan design help/advice please
We are looking to buy a house and the layout isn’t quite for us, usually I walk into a house with an idea of what to change to make it work but this one has left me stumped! It’s very old fashioned so needs a lot of work anyway. The downstairs layout isn’t too bad although the halfway seems a little backwards, you walk straight through the door to be met with stairs then a long entrance hall running alongside and storage towards the back...
Upstairs is the main issue, as the house isn’t very long the rooms at the back of the house are quite thin. The black block in the bathroom is a water tank and this will probably need repositioning.
We would like to ideally change the layout of upstairs to create a master bedroom with en-suite, and change the bathroom to fit in a bath and separate shower cubicle as well as toilet and sink.
We are open to moving rooms around and possibly building extensions/loft conversion in order to get 4 double bedrooms. We don’t yet know if we could build above the garage as not sure what footings it already has in place.

Advice please for my floor plan!
Comments (5)I think it will look great to open up the kitchen and conservatory areas because the area is quite small. However, here are a few things to consider (this is from someone who lives in a house with a similar layout to your existing ground floor). The conservatory faces south and presumably overlooks the garden. Is this an area you are going to want to sit in because it will be beautiful and tranquil? If so, it would be better to keep the dining room in the centre area because you don't need a view when eating (except of the food). Then use the conservatory as a small sitting room. It looks like you have not drawn the plans to scale. The new hallway looks narrow and the new wall will take up space. Make sure if a new wall is put in that you will have enough space for a useable room plus a hallway. Why do you want to access the new downstairs bedroom/study from the living room? Wouldn't it be better to access it from the hallway at the bottom of the stairs. Good ideas though....See MoreNEED HELP DESIGNING AND CHOOSING FLOOR PLAN!!
Comments (4)Hi Caren. It depends how many people will live in that house and their lifestyle. Me personal opinion is the more open space in the house the better. I would recommend to visualise all those three options in 3d rendering. I could help you with that.

Comments (6)Swap lounge with kitchen dining room. take out the wall dividing the K/D. Add an alternative exit in south wall by the stairs. Take down conservatory and extend across. Assume you can build over garage + alternative 1st floor remodelling + loft extension. Moss Extend t. 02072349350 e. info@moss-architecture.com...See MoreHelp!

Comments (3)So, has the approach to your property changed at some point? Because I would expect your entrance hall and front door to be at the front and not at the back? Could you turn it around again? If not, maybe move the front door to what is now the kitchen, making the kitchen part entry hall and part utility (dividing wall). Then you could perhaps create one large kitchen/diner/family space from the current utility, office and family room. The current dining room could be an office? Obviously all depending on whether all that would be possible re: load bearing walls and all that....See More

Some play with your layout:
Main entry at the front. And 4x7m extension at the back. Tried to keep in as many loadbearing walls (I guessed) as possible.
Master bedroom with ensuite and walk in closet. Perhaps a separate wc next to the other bathroom. Kept plumbing in somewhat realistic places.
