Comments (12)I agree with a lot of what has been said above. We are about to extend our kitchen/diner and have a very small utility room which currently houses a washer, dryer and standalone fridge/freezer (as well as four doors leading off to the kitchen, WC, outside and garage). There is no sink in the utility but we have an integrated fridge in the kitchen. A few thoughts: - Are you sure that you want to place the dishwasher in the utility room? We have plumbing for a dishwasher in the utility but don't own one. When we extend we plan to put the dishwasher as close as possible to the sink as I can't envisage carrying dirty plates etc through to a separate room (and then back again when they are clean). We lived in a new build years ago and the dishwasher was not in the utility; I don't remember noise being an issue. - My brother has engineered oak flooring and oak worktops (separated by white Ikea high gloss units) and it looks good. I would rather have tiles in a utility but am probably biased after experiencing a couple of washing machine leaks. - Have you considered stacking your washer and dryer? We plan to do so as space is so tight in the utility. If you want to maximise utility space I recommend reading George Clarke's 'The Home Bible'. It has a section dedicated to utility room layouts. - Although we plan to have an integrated fridge-freezer in our extension, it currently doesn't bother us to get freezer items from the utility (it would for fridge items). - I agree with bookworm987's suggestion for a new (narrower) dining table and bench seating on one side. From personal experience I can recommend extending dining tables; we have a 90 x 180 cm table which is ideal for everyday use but extends by 45 cm each end to fit family when they visit....See MoreSide return extension kitchen/diner layout
Comments (8)Hi- I could have written this post myself! We too are having a partial side return resulting in an L shape layout. Our overall length is a bit shorter (5 vs your 6), but with the side return ours will be wider at 3.1m and 6m wide. Getting the layout right is so hard! We’ve decided to keep our formal dining room as is, and the kitchen in its existing galley type shape. We will have a peninsula come out at the top end to form bar seating for the kids/guests. The “old fence side” of the new area will have a toilet room and a laundry cupboard for the washer and dryer. I’m having the kitchen designed so that anything a guest/kid/non cook might need is towards the front, eg fridge, snack cupboard, window fridge, cutlery, trash receptacle etc. I am hoping that keeps everyone out of the cook’s zone, aka my way! I want to make the peninsula wide enough so it can feel more like a kitchen table, and be a comfortable spot for the kid’s homework too....See MoreKitchen-diner extension
Comments (20)Wow everyone. Thank you so much. I have posted pictures with dimensions. Hope you can read. I will try and put something better up this evening. The drawings should be scale 1:50 but I get that this will be lost when uploaded on here. To give you a starter, the internal dimensions of the lounge are 4.2m across (to in the alcoves) and 4.5m deep (not including bay). @Jonathan - what program do you use to draw your plans? The tracing paper just isn't cutting it ;-) 1. @MATH - by the time we get PP and this is built - playroom rapidly moving towards teenage cave. So no sight lines required and probably not preferred ! 2. Cheap as chips? Now you are talking! I had worried that wouldn't be able to do Jonathan's plan building out by existing utility because of the site slope (much more marked on that side than on the verandah side), but maybe it could work after all .... 3. 4 double beds, 2 baths and 1 study minimum. Study can be upstairs or downstairs (we use Bed 3 as a study at the mo - doesn't have to be massive). The beds to be all upstairs. If we can fit in a 3rd guest ensuite, would be fab - but not essential by any means. Bed 3 does scream bathroom - especially as all the plumbing next door already. 4. @Jonathan yes, it would be too tight to get up the stairs without vestibule - unless we moved the stairs. I'd assumed that we would have to. Or, if we extended on the patio and put a kitchen in, would fire regs dictate we needed a door into the kitchen? Otherwise could keep a pillar of the existing walls and keep it open and stairs as it? £3k for moving the door? Ouch! 5. However, really want to sort out the issue of walking under the half landing under the stairs as hubby fed up of banging his head. 6. Drains - man hole cover is circle at corner of existing "study" at front of house (where my arrow now points into). Soil pipe goes down front of the house at the edge of bathroom and bed 3 - I suspect that what is now the dining room was likely the kitchen when built in 1924. HTH - and thanks again....See More

Thanks for your replies, apologies for not getting back sooner. Our plan is to remove the walls between reception & extension, put in RSJ to support. Keep a small section of old kitchen for utility room & increase wc space. The reception room area will be our chill out space overlooking the new kitchen.
Just finding it difficult to line everything up with the units running down one wall with an island parallel & dining table with all converging at narrowest point. Hope I haven’t confused the issue with too much info.
Thanks
Evelyn.
