Comments (10)Most things are possible depending on budget though. First things first :- What are you trying to achieve? Do you want access to a loft room, is it to have a dormer window? If not, then you are restricted to accessing from either gable. Thus the only other gable is the Chimney stack side. How wide is the landing upstairs? I'd have to presume that the Chimney stack would have to go. If you were having a dormer or there is one already in the loft it makes life a little easier. There are options but they all depend on what you want to achieve and budget. For instance:- You could consider changing the conservatory in to a proper room, building up to create more floor space on the 1st floor and amending the stairs. You could go right up to roof height and create more room not only on the 1st floor but the 2nd floor too. If you are not intending on having a dormer in the loft, then moving the stairs to the only option on the left hand gable would involve taking down the Chimney stack, and, would be dependant on the width of the landing and whether or not you can fit a staircase in lengthwise along that wall. You can't fit in a dog leg as it would compromise either the access to the bathroom or the bedroom depending on which way the stairs run....See MoreAwkward kitchen and bathroom layout - victorian terrace

Comments (4)Embrace the courtyard! Seriously though I love the idea of an inner courtyard. It could be a private retreat, a Japanese garden perhaps. I would be inclined to keep just one door opening into the lounge and have a window in the kitchen wall. Your utility does seem to be a more practical size for a shower room but my first thoughts are what do you need more of on the ground floor, a shower room or a utility room? Could you settle for a cloakroom in the existing shower room? Or do you need both which leads me to a second consideration. I am puzzled by the layout of the kitchen. It seems to be very small for the available space and tucked away in the corner. Such a shame to have the table and indeed the breakfast bar both up against the walls. Is there room to turn the sitting area 90 degrees and push it up against the wall (top of the plan) leaving room for the dining table to be sited in front of the glazed doors (bottom of plan). This setup would allow views of the garden from sitting and dining. This would then allow you more space to accommodate a kitchen island and breakfast bar sited in the middle of the room where you have written ‘open space’ on the plan. If you want to go with your idea of having a shower room in the utility room then the above rejig would allow you to build a utility room where the breakfast bar is currently. You would have the shower room and utility side by side with the doors opening onto the hall. This would mean all the plumbing would be together with a convenient manhole nearby in the courtyard. This would involve building a wall and squaring off the kitchen thereby opening up the opportunity for more kitchen units on the other side of this wall. Perhaps site the sink under the window overlooking the courtyard. Again your plumbing would be located together. Cupboards could go along the wall where the dining table is now. The kitchen island would need to be aligned to allow free flow from the hall to the garden doors between these cupboards and island. I hope this proposal makes sense....See MoreHelp with ground floor layout of victorian terrace semi!
Comments (4)Hi, It's not easy with a staircase like this, but as an option you could have a new fire wall in dining (full glass or at least partially, althought in any case expensive) and open up the dining to the kicthen. With a drop of creative design this can look quite cool. See sketch below. Feel free to get in touch if you need further help with design, drawings, planning etc. Andre...See Moredattaric
