Help with open plan and rear extension pls

last month

This is the house plan of a semi I am buying, I would like to open up the kitchen, dining room utility room, and add a rear extension, hopefully 4/5metre out,, the question is where would I put the utility and toilet room? I am hoping to use the front lounge room also as a guest room...

is there any room for an en-suite shower room upstairs?

thank you in advance for your helpful suggestions

Perhaps 1st step is to put loo etc where the kitchen sink now is,even extending under stair? You have water/drainage there

Looks like it's already been extended, so why do you need to extend it further? Could you not reconfigure the space you have?

If only 75% finished the inside of the new room is probably unfinished plaster. When the room is finished and decorated you will find it far more reflective.

Help layout & plans of my open plan kitchen diner & side extension

Thanks for these. Im not sure if we can do the extra corner bit for number five, but I do like the layout, it will depend on cost, also don't need two tv areas, as we have a front lounge in the house anyway. the office was supposed to be a mixed use room, as a playroom with kids storage and also an occasional bedroom, so sofa bed In there. I know many people have hobs and sinks on islands, but I just think i'll end up dumping things on there.. I have four in the family, two adults, two kids, but we have a lot of people round for entertaining and parties, so space is what I'm after, but was also looking for somewhere the kids can go out of the way from adults if need be. As for kitchen, the reason for having large larder is to put not only food/drink spare fridge in there, but also things we don't use all that often in the kitchen, equipment etc.. I like everything clean and hidden away. The office on number 5 would be separate anyway as this concept includes sliding doors, which fold into the wall, so only entrance would be from outside, not sure if I can afford these yet though. Please keep suggestions coming, or alternatives, all welcome as I can't visualise.. thanks

Extension - Open Plan Layout Help

I'd vote option 4, 2&3 don't appear safe (also option 5 with emptying things into the sink and just impractical). Using option 1 layout, could you have the kitchen along the length of the left wall moving the sofa forward a little, with a narrower coffee table, (and putting the hob and sink as far from sofa as possible). Put the dining table on the bathroom wall with a bench seat. Put a cupboard in the 500 alcove for a larder. You may have room a small chair next to the tv (one that doesn't visually feel the room). I'd make the opening to the courtyard as large as possible. Not sure how that would work as planning isn't my forte and I would strongly suggest engaging OnePlan or similar. I do agree with the estate agents advice though.

I guess you can never have too much space with 4 children, I can imagine how I would use the existing living room and dining room :-). Few questions - is that an opening from the existing dining room to extension? what is the dotted line section on bottom left of extension next to kitchen? are you having an island? I'm not sure about having all the kitchen units down the left hand of the wall, 10m is a long way to walk to get some from one cupboard. I think its better to have kitchen 'contained' in a section of extension, then you can create a zone for living and dining space.

Have neighbours extended too? Would it add a considerable amount of value in that location? Do you have the budget?
