Floor plan options

3 years ago

Hi we are due to move into a new property.

We are unsure on how we can change the layout. The bathroom is currently downstairs. This isn’t a problem as such, we could extend the bathroom to the same length as the kitchen however this would make the bathroom long and skinny, ideally would it be worth extending the kitchen on the side to make it bigger?

We have thought about moving the bathroom upstairs into bedroom 3, changing the toilet upstairs into stairs to the loft. We have a baby and I wouldn’t like to be at a different level to her. Plus it’s end terrace so would mean a dormer on the loft.

Need to keep the property 3 bedrooms, would be nice to extend above the kitchen as this is a single storey extension but I cannot come up with a floor plan!

Also change the toilet upstairs to a small shower toilet and sink.

Any ideas welcome! has anyone had this layout before and what did you do to change it? :)

I don’t want to start decorating if in a few years time we will be changing the layout.

I agree with Johnathan in that the nicest option would be to have an entertaining space next to the terrace. You could simply flip the location of the kitchen and the living on option 2 obviously taking head heights into consideration. This would probably be the most cost effective change to your option 2 allowing you to maintain the number of bedrooms. Although all your living spaces are now in limited head height space, if it’s designed well it could make the space feel quite interesting and very expressive/individual. Be aware, though, that it can still be a little difficult to get terraces with planning permission so make sure there is some precedence in your neighbourhood of people doing the same. Finally, depending on your roof build up, you could also part expose rafters to gain a little more height and express the roof. You will probably have to double up some of the joists of the existing part of the roof and these might be deeper than the victorians so could be made to stick out past the insulation and plasterboard. Good luck with your extension and I hope you keep us in the loop of the decisions you will finally take. If you need any further help, don’t hesitate to ask.

I think there are other options which would save the garden access and keep costs down by avoiding the side extension. Here's an example - have inverted the image so that the layout is the same as yours. But it all comes down to your list of priorities - looks like you want doors opening into front room and to keep the kitchen in existing position (to cut costs I assume) - but if those things are actually not that important then you have other options. I do prefer A for the bigger open space, but the compromise is the lack of kitchen storage (but maybe it's ok compared to what you have?). B has pantry but then the little seating area becomes the thoroughfare to the kitchen - and it'll feel more closed off coming in front door (can be good to not see right through house, but usually people like a long view to garden). I don't think getting to the toilet from the garden is that difficult in B, just need to walk through the extension, and it's easier to access from inside the house (and it's much bigger than the tiny one in A).

Kitchen - Open Plan issues

I think that you are trying really hard for this space to be open plan but it’s not because the living room is separated from the kitchen by tall units. Since the connection between the living space and the kitchen is limited I think you should consider if more wall and more tall storage is more important than having to go through the hall to get to the lounge. You might also consider how much the dining table gets used and whether it might suit you to put the living space where the dining table is currently planned. Separately I think your kitchen plan needs more work because the island now intrudes beyond the side windows and this now limits the space available for the table. Furthermore it seems like you have insufficient drawers and no wall cabinets which poses a problem of where to store glassware and everything to make tea and coffee. I think the two door finishes needs more thought and it’s an odd choice to have an open wine rack on such a contemporary kitchen.

After taking a look at the floorplan options you've attached, we think that option A works well with where the bed is positioned. We would recommend opting for large bedside tables as this will help create a balance with the bed being a super king. You may find that option B almost creates a corridor effect on the right hand side meaning you are loosing quite a large wall that may have been useful.
