I would have create a small entrance hall as well to avoid facing a wall straight in front of you when you enter the flat, happy to get your thoughts, have a nice weekend, thx!...See MoreReworking garden flat floorpan to include 2nd bedroom
Comments (5)Hello Laurence, I know you want to put another bedroom but the bottom estate agent layout of your friends place is not ideal at all.. The idea of squeezing a room next to kitchen might seem like a sensible option but to a buyer the plan below in my eyes is not what I would keep... It might be far wiser to offer a large living dining area.. Entertaining is another important factor. Have you considered another option which is to have a double living/dining room with either wooden french doors between or the wall removed, so you create a double room. You have two fireplaces which are gr8! You could block up the first and or second door to the living room and then you could have a galley kitchen all the way down that side wall.... so you have a huge living and dining area.. You could also put in a door to the garden where the window is at the end. Where the hallway is you can continue that down to the end take out the cupboard.. creating an extended hallway with door to right for bathroom where the boiler is.. Create a small shower room here like a wet room. Then next door to right is single room. With the last door (near current kitchen sink) will lead into main bedroom..... Do you need to keep that back staircase? : ))...See MoreHelp needed to change flat layout & create 3rd bedroom
Comments (14)Hi again Jane. Any external changes, including windows, may require planning permission. If the property is a block of flats or mansion block this may be more of a challenge. You may have permitted development rights, which can be another good option. Any change, however small, is likely to be subject to a license to alter especially if there's a management company or a remote freeholder. This includes windows in any shape or form. As unreasonable as it may appear, The licensee / freeholder can quite legitimately sell you the space and the roof structure and then request a full license to alter application. It's also not a given that the you be awarded the license. Sorry if this comes across all doom and gloom. There usually ways design challenges. understanding all the risks as well as the potential is important....See MoreTurning this large one bedroom into a 2 bedroom + 2 bathroom
Comments (2)It would help to have a few more details. Who would be living here, budget etc. If it is for 2 professional sharers, I wonder if you could squeeze an ensuite into each reception room to make 2 good size bedrooms. I'd then open up the kitchen and hall (removing the bathroom, and make a small kitchen living area. If it is for you, and you need a master plus occasional or child's bedroom I would install kitchen units onto the back wall of the reception room, make the existing kitchen a bedroom and add a second bathroom/utility/storage room (depending on priorities) in the hall way gap as you planned. All plumbing, permissions. dependent etc......See MoreSonia
