2 bed bungalow conversion to a 4 bed house
Comments (9)Hello. How about keeping the part of the kitchen that looks over the back garden as a utility room?Then use a combination of the rest of the kitchen, dining room and a squared of sun room to become the new kitchen/ diner. The sun room name gives me the clue that this may well be the best spot in the house so this should be part of where you spend most of your time, the new kitchen. The front door stays where it is but is made more of a feature with a nice porch. Having a kitchen diner that goes from the front to the back of the house (ie with utility room) takes away having to turn the house around. Your other reception rooms will seem small by comparison but you really will spend the majority of your time in this new space....See MoreAdvice re 4th bedroom extension and side return? But garage in the way
Comments (16)Hi there, it will be hard to achieve an open floor plan with this side extension . In fact, it seems it would just complicate things in a very expensive way. If you don't need a 4th bedroom every day, but just occasionally for in-laws, can you make the garage into a small, compact guesthouse? If your kitchen feels too small, you might just want to relocate it to the room with the fireplace. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any further questions, I will be more than happy to help. just drop me a line to service@betterspace.co...See More3 or 4 bedrooms - minimum expectations?
Comments (10)Wow it's going to be an incredible transformation! I think a 4 bedroom house needs another living space separate to the kitchen. But a lot of people say they want 4 bedrooms, but actually want an extra room to be a guest/study/snug room. EA quite often market these as 3/4 bedrooms so I wouldn't worry too much about defining it :)...See MoreChalet Bungalow Re-model / configuration
Comments (11)Hey Lindsay, I've had a crack at re-configuring the space (no expert!) and definitely consult an architect and/or structural engineer to advice about taking down walls. An easy option for an extra bedroom is to convert the dining room / study to a bedroom, If that is a sink I spotted in the study, then it could make a great en-suite if it's in the budget and if you can run toilet waste. This would give a decent double room or if you have little ones two single beds with desk spaces and small walk-in wardrobe. The current bedroom is quite narrow, if possible, could you build out to the garage wall? That would give you some extra space for bedroom furniture. Maybe even separate the toilet and bathroom and create an ex-suite shower room (unless the bedroom upstairs is also using that bathroom!) If possible removing the corridor between the house and utility/garage makes the utility room feel more part of the house instead of an outbuilding and would allow for a better flow between the garage, utility, garden and kitchen. I would make the garage slightly smaller and the utility larger that way you can store items you use within the house but want out of site in the utility room (pet food, sporadically used / bulky kitchen appliances) and items like bikes, tools, seasonal decorations, sports gear in the garage keeping them separate. Square of the conservatory and convert to solid structure with a roof light, open up the kitchen and lounge walls and build out a doorway to the lounge from the hallway so the kitchen and lounge have separate entrances....See More- 2 years ago
