We have this space in middle of our house and wonder was there a basement in the past?

It's hard to say. Doesn't seem likely but you never know until you start digging!

Hello howden9. That is quite a garden. I can answer a couple of your points straight off but you really need a visit (or better pictures and a ground plan) to get fuller ideas. The shaded area at the back is ideal for a composting area and the shed really does not need the sunshine. I'm assuming most light comes from the left side of your pictures, i.e. the south side. But as the cedar and poplars cast shadow across the whole width, if I understand you correctly, you could put either in any part of that area. As it is larger than needed for both, perhaps you might like to consider what else you would like to do, or have, in that area before deciding finally. Next, you need a skip. The conifers in the arch will not grow back well once trimmed into a nice shape. You may as well get rid now instead of waiting for them to prove just how ugly they can be. A rockery is not "low maintenance", a commonly held but sadly delusional belief. So they do tend to get neglected and very soon deteriorate into uncared for disrepair and eyesore. Another reason for a skip unless you can recycle all that stone. Possibly a wall or two? A raised bed or two? A pond or water feature? Stone features are beautiful. If you are anywhere within reach of North Wales, talk to Houzzer Pro Jez Young, the best stone feature builder I have ever come across. Or if you happen to be in or around West Yorkshire we would love to hear from you. If you can get it flat enough and without it being slippery, stone could even make a good patio style seating area for your "place in the sun". Your lengthiest period of sunshine, if I have grasped the garden orientation correctly, is within the right of the photos. Your seating area should go somewhere between where you stood to take the pix and to the right of where the conifer archway is now. Nearer to where you took them may help avoid the summer evening shadow from the cedar. Fruit trees are low maintenance so it is probably worth geting the health of those trees checked if you and/or your family like fruit. So don't decide anything for that space before deciding whether or not they are worth keeping. That should get you started in line with the information you have given. Are you looking to do it (or get it done) all at once or taking it a step at a time? Please keep us posted.

Thank you Carolina and Minnie. I'm still surprised people are so helpful on these forums- really grateful for everyone's advice! I'm no expert at design for sure - if it's xray guided surgery no problems haha. Carolina I'm glad you think the steps can look OK. I'm beginning to think maybe it might not look so odd. The kitchen design is just whatever the architect put together himself for the plans, but I'm yet to consider how to actually lay it out. Any advice? The idea for the 'utility' is that there will be long closet / cupboards from wall to ceiling with the washer and dryer hidden by those. I know it's called utility but in reality itll just be an extension to the massive hallway in order to get access to the kitchen and downstairs loo. Storing the washer and dryer there was a thought to utilise the remainder of that space. The reason it has to have a door is because the architect says new fire safety rules stipulate there has to be a fire door to a kitchen to prevent fire from spreading to the main house. Otherwise I would have just not kept that door at all and kept a big hallway. Although the hall is disproportionate, with the high ceilings, it is what we really liked about the property and gave a really nice airy feeling to the place. Minnie thank you for that link. What a stunning conservatory they've built. With regards to having one set of steps- I was thinking the same at one point - that maybe I could just keep one set of steps from the 'utility' down - and swap the kitchen and dining space. The only thing that I don't like about that idea is that I wanted there to be a free flow of space to go from the living room down into the extension too. But I guess you can't have everything in life and maybe having a bannister like they have in the link you've sent, would allow for that airy feeling and continuity of light. Should people need to go from the living room down into the kitchen they'd have to go through the 'utility'....

Thanks guys. Jonathan, because there is no standing height I don't think having a bathroom or other 'liveable' room is feasible nor economical. I think you're probably right, it may not add enormously to the value of the property, although somewhere to store the bikes securely is a fairly desirable prospect in London. We have this already but I was hoping (unrealistically, probably ) to create more privacy and self determination (Shexit haha) by having the sole use. Any suggestions where to start to look for an idea of cost of moving the meters?

Any tips to add curb appeal to the front of our house
Q

I would be inclined to tackle the lawn first. The house is symmetrical but the lawn isn’t making the frontage appear out of kilter. A photo of the entire frontage, possibly without the car, would be useful to see the entire lawn and gravelled area to determine how best to transform it. What do you have across the front boundary? Is it open or is there a garden wall or hedge? Meanwhile might I suggest simple changes such as removing the hanging basket brackets. To kill two birds with one stone, train an evergreen scrub either side of the door to disguise the soil pipe and visually widen the front door giving it prominence. Chose something that tolerates pruning into a formal shape. Formal climbing plants under the windows would soften the front elevation too. You have one light beside the door and another at the corner. I would remove them and replace with a lantern above the front door. If you need lighting at the corner of the house then maybe locate something discrete on the side elevation. I agree with an earlier comment it is better not to power wash. The patina achieved through age better suits this style of house. The same applies to repointing. If it doesn’t need it then best to leave well alone.

Some houses were built with no more than a coal hole. So if you have basement steps but no basement that’s not unusual you probably just have a coal shute and a tiny space at the bottom of the stairs

Thanks Jonathan that's the answer I expected! You are probably correct.

I agree with Jonathan! In these parts, local estate agents often call them half-cellars. I don’t know if that’s an official term though!
