Reconfiguration of 1930's detached house
Comments (8)Thanks for all your helpful comments. I have been thinking a lot about how we use the space and been less concerned with keeping rooms just for the girls. I was concerned that it currently looks like a 3 bedroom house with a study but we have no plans to move in the foreseeable future so I think I can put that aside as well. Looking at the plans drawn up by the previous owners is confusing me too much. Our needs are different so I have gone back to the basic floor plan of what we have at the moment. We want to remove the conservatories and utility room and replace these with a large open plan area which will include the existing living room and kitchen. There will be a column (maybe attached to island ) somewhere and velux windows in the roof. I want to keep the kitchen on the right and move the utility into the rear of the garage and install a shower room next to it. I think I would like the living area to be at the back and take advantage of the views. This means the dining area will be on the left of the kitchen . We will have 2 sets of bifold or sliding doors ( apparently it would be very costly to have one large set as we would need to hire a very large crane to put in the steel). I also want a wood burning stove. I still like the idea of a study or even a boot room with external door on the side but appreciate One Plans comments about the space not being big enough. Thank you in advance for any further ideas....See More1930's bathroom design
Comments (14)Thanks Minnie. We will have to putbyhe bath down The left hand side if we do shower over bath because there is not enough tiling space where the window is. The previous owners tried this by the look of it and realised that water just covers the window sill and window! The bath would have to be a footed shower over one or i think a panel on the bath?? So if we panel it would be half way up the wall....See More1930s layout ideas
Comments (7)Looks like an awesome house - any chance of seeing a photo of the exterior?? I prefer the bathroom upstairs being between the two bedrooms on the right. Looks like there's already a shower there so just need to expand on that and get soil pipe over there too. I prefer it as it can then serve those two bedrooms easily - perfect kid wing! Looks like those rooms are a couple of steps below the rest of the upper floor and I'd always prefer to have no steps between bedrooms and bathroom. Could always make the existing bathroom an ensuite to Bed 2 and use that as the main bedroom if that was important, but I'd personally put two kids in the right wing and keep main bathroom for parents and guests (or third child?). Always nice to keep the box room for an office too - especially now! Downstairs, if you have budget to the extension you show then I do think that would be lovely - and plenty of room for kitchen, dining and small seating area. And having a huge utility is a real luxury so I'd be tempted to keep it if possible - then it'll be laundry, bootroom and surplus storage. Could really cut down on the size of kitchen you need if you can store lots of stuff in the utility out of sight....See More1930’s semi downstairs layout dilemma
Comments (9)Hello All, and thank you for your suggestions and ideas. @User yes, I would like to keep the units. These were installed by the previous owner no more than 2 years ago and, I believe, are still in the shop for me to add matching units. I like how the two existing doors align in your drawing and I guess having a tall unit (fridge or even the W/D on top of each other) in front of the toilette door will help hiding it from view when opening the door. How disruptive and expensive will be to connect the svp to the existing one? Moreover, I am wondering if there will be sufficient light coming from the existing window. There will be skylights and bi-folding doors in the extension. The other option would be to add a side extension on the right of the staircase creating the corridor the house is missing and put the toilette/boiler under the staircase as it is common in semi with that type of space. My only concerns would be: how much it would add cost wise What would happen to existing electricity/gas metres and lastly, how much space it will leave on the side of the house. I am looking towards to your thoughts. Thank you very much. Miriam...See MoreLinds F
