Help with layout design

2 years ago

Hi,

Our home is a 1970s 3 bedroom mid terraced property. We are planning to add a 3 metre rear extension to make the kitchen bigger.

My question is can I some how fit a U shaped kitchen with an island and a utility room after doing an extension? I'm happy to knock down walls if it makes it possible.

As for upstairs I am planning to incorporate the storage cupboards into either the bathroom and add a shower or into the bedroom to make space for wardrobe or desk. Which is the better option?

Also is there anything else you would do to the layout to make it better? I don't want the dining table in the lounge but any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Tried to create some examples.

Top left a full 3m extension without utility, with 5 framed glass panes of which one hinged (regular door), rest could be bifold or slide or fixed. Large kitchen with island. Took the bet and removed the cupboard on the living side and moved the door there, but there are structural challenges, as the walls upstairs rest on that spot. Just like a pillar in front of the island, as a 6m steel might be either too expensive or too thick. Better have that thoroughly checked before deciding what you want. Upstairs bathroom is the same, but by removing one cupboard you can move the doorway and have better flow in there. The other cupboard will be most useful as landing cupboard, to store towels, shampoo, linen. Downstairs a washing cupboard and to make up for the cloakspace, I chopped some of the downstairs bathroom, to enlarge the porch cupboard. If that becomes too much of a hassle, I'd suggest moving the washing machine into the smaller hallway cupboard or porch (as boiler needs a place as well).

Top right a 1.6m wide utility within the old house, semi-open kitchen.

Bottom right is where I tried jamming in a U-shaped kitchen and utility, had to close off lounge. Would not be my pick.

Bottom left is somewhat your original layout.

Where is the door into the kitchen, where are windows. Is the small garage used for garage or can be used as a utility room / toilet?

I think you plan seems like a nice layout. You need a builder to look at whether it is possible to put the kitchen where you are proposing- it seems like it would be a long way from the drainage at the back of the house but perhaps there is another drain. Also you will need to inform the freeholder who technically has to give permission but will probably be fine with it. You will also need building regs. You might also consider if you can move the entrance door to have a smaller hall and a bigger front room
