Floor plan assistance
Hi,
I have a budget of 30k to spend on improving our ground floor and bathroom. We have lived there for 3 years and have not made any big changes yet. We aim to stay for another 5 years but getting frustrated with the current layout. We have a south facing garden we never use as it needs a face list and better access.
We have a conservatory that is old and can not decide if it is worth pushing the budget to do a single storey extension, update the roof to a warm roof or get rid of it completely.
below is the OG floor plan (the bar across is an 'island" and alternative floor plans I have come up with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Comments (5)This looks great. Just a couple of points- the relaxing area seems to look out to the driveway- so either you will have a poor view or you will feel overlooked. Perhaps the relaxing room would be better looking into the internal courtyard where there will be no distractions. There is nowhere shown to do laundry. I don't understand why you would put two sitting areas in the same room - if they are for different purposes perhaps they should be in different parts of the house. The stairs may be dark without a window. You should also consider your window placement and what outside space there is, the privacy and the heat of the sun. In my opinion the solid wall in the gathering area hides where I assume the garden is so I think the plot may feel smaller. I worry that the impressive dining window may make that area too hot. I hope this helps and remember this is just opinion- you have your house how you want it....See MorePlease help with floor plan ground floor!

Comments (5)Is does seem that the lesser known brands of LVT are the same thickness and same warranty as the major brands- the difference seems to be the colour choice and size of marketing budget. So as long as you like the colour choice with another brand then I think the cost saving is worth having. Separately the issue with herringbone over an expansive area is making the pattern meet up- generally a competent fitter will have no problems- I wonder if the issue is that you aren’t actually looking at LVT but instead floating floors (click together floors as opposed to stick down to the screed). Floating floors need to expand and over a large sized area can need an expansion strip adding which looks fine if you can add it to a doorway but looks odd in the middle of a large room....See MoreRemi

3 years agoOption 1 is the best, if you swap the dinning table with the sofa. However, it would cost you more than £30 000. It depends on many parameters: the value added to your property after the extension ( houses prices will drop because of our current crisis!), ideally, you want to recuperate what you spend when you sell. Do you have any kids? Etc... or you could just have your conservatory insulated with a proper roof, insulated floor.... Watch the last episode of ‘Your house made perfect’ on BBC; the people had their thin and cold conservatory made into a proper room... could give you some inspiration!

3 years agoThanks for this.
Would you suggest the dining area be an extension? As that is also a "lean to" and the external wall is where I have indicated.
it's an odd layout where the downstairs toilet was built at the back of the house with a lean to on either side.
