Renovate, extend and beautify 1960s house - ideas?
Comments (5)I have added one idea for extending the kitchen/diner. The garden is north-facing so I want to bring in plenty of light. Your thoughts would be much appreciated as I am going around in circles and I want to make decisions and get contractors appointed in the Spring. Thank you!...See MoreUpdating 1960's house exterior
Comments (46)This is what the exterior looks like so far. We have been approved planning permission to extend single storey, front and side With sky lantern. we are set on a flat roof with wildflower and sedum. Considering keeping the tiles. front door will be moved forward and there will be a window on the left. Not sure what the new render should be for the extension? Brick ? Trying to keep all costs down but Still have a Clean and contemporary finish...... I realise now I should have been braver with the windows! Tut tut!!!...See MoreRenovating a 1960's 3 bed semi - help with layout and kerb appeal!
Comments (65)Hi all, Thank you so much for all the helpful comments and suggestions, and sorry that it's taken me so long to respond - house renovation and work have been keeping us on our toes! This has become a long post, so a quick reminder - we were looking to renovate and rewire our 60s house to update it and also make it more wheelchair friendly downstairs for when my mother-in-law comes to visit. We employed an architect and came up with what turned out to be an 'aspirational' design (much more than the budget!) so we ended up deciding to split things into two stages: Stage One to add a downstairs wetroom for accessibility, remove chimney throughout and add a porch Stage Two to do the extension across the rear, removing the conservatory to open out a large kitchen/diner and add a utility room The layout below shows both Stages One and Two as complete. Bits shown in red are existing walls which have been/will be removed (apart from the wall in red in the seating area below which is between the existing kitchen and dining room - that's a mistake). So.....the building work is now done - hurray! Stage One is complete, we are much poorer, and we now need to decorate the whole house :-) Some before and after photos below - please bear with the terrible photography skills. The rooms aren't big enough to allow for expansive photos!: We've re-plastered throughout, apart from in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom, as we'll deal with those later. Current challenge is deciding how on earth to pick paint colours and flooring throughout.... Anyway - hopefully that gives you a sense of where we've got to. Best wishes...See MoreLayout ideas for 1960's house with 1990s extension
Comments (9)E D not sure why there wasn't an option to personalise my user name it just gave it to me! Jonathan thank you so much for your detailed drawing it had never occurred to us to think about that layout which is why we posted on here Our house is built on a hill so our extension floor level is up around 1.5m and you have caught the shape down the side of our garage perfectly so would that all add to the cost of the build The layout does definitely give us something to think about as it wouldn't iinterfere with the light in our main living space and would be nice to have the option of the shower in there too...See MoreUser
