What would you use this space for please?
We have a single block "outhouse" at the back of the garage (approx 2.88x1.41m) that used to house an oil tank.
Originally we thought about using it as a utility room and drying space but we're now going to use a heat pump tumble dryer indoors. Then I thought about getting it insulated to use it as a home office, which is probably our best option, but do you have any better ideas please thst may spark a light bulb moment for us?!
I'm guessing it's probably too small for any kid of kids play area? (Our twin boys are 6.5 years).
For reference we're opening the kitchen into the living room and making the downstairs loo into a shower room with large sink for utility type "stuff".

Comments (17)The spac look like a formal entrance hall but it doesn't really function as such because the entrance doors to both the kitchen and the lounge are both at the corner before you move into the space. How about you cancel those doors and instead open large double French doors in the middle of the hallway leading to the lounge, and a large opening leading to the kitchen. You can then place carefully picked furniture on the sides of those doors and turn the hall into a welcoming space. It will also help with the organisation of the kitchen. the current corner door in an obstacle. Another option is to take down the wall between the hall and lounge and create a much bigger lounge with doors to the kitchen.

Comments (9)Hi. I’m no good at doing plans on computer I’m afraid ( I possibly could but it would take me hours) but I did do a little sketch with what I think could work. Just note that it’s not to scale and I’m not a pro, just a hobby of mine. So I’m thinking shed in top right corner then in between greenhouse and shed you could lay paving and have an area for an outdoor fireplace or bbq area. Just think it would be nice to have that area as more of a working yard, somewhere you can potter about (potting bench perhaps). Then I put a corner summerhouse in the left hand corner with path leading from it to the new patio area. The bench and slabs in the middle I would perhaps remove to open the lawn space but you could keep the trees depending on what variety they are, trees can grow very big. Otherwise I think you’ve done a great job so far:). It’s a nice size garden so plenty of possibilities. Here’s my rough sketch and some ideas for outdoor fireplace:...See More
