Loft conversion and Extension layout quandary

5 years ago

Hoping for some fresh insights into our proposed plans.

Firstly, the loft conversion: We’re hoping to get an en-suite (with shower) and maybe even a walk-in/built-in wardrobes. Trying to maximise the space up there but we’re not sure the current layout would allow a walk in wardrobe. The current plan allows easy access to current waste pipe.

Secondly, the extension: The plans we have submitted for planning isn’t final and neither is the layout. We are currently considering flipping the new kitchen area and living room to allow us to have a larger kitchen area with an island. The size of the doors are going to be smaller (4 metres) and the right side external wall having a larger area (roughly 2m) to incorporate a sink that would over look the garden. The toilet in the garage area is probably going to be moved into the utility under the stairs.

Nothing is set in stone and a fresh perspective and new ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance

    Personally I would have the master bedroom in this space on the 1st floor- after all the footprint is bigger and the ceiling height is likely better.

    There is enough room in the loft for two kids bedrooms- when they start paying the mortgage they can argue for the best bedroom space but right now you should have it.

    And personally I don’t like having to go through the utility to get to the back of the house- I think the flow would be better with a long sight line from the front door all the way though to the garden.

    Thanks Jonathan for your input. I like some of the ideas. A few we’ve already discussed. I’ll let you know what decisions we’ve made. Thanks again
