Garage conversion/ above garage extension

last year

We are considering various ways of extending our house to add a family/ games room and a master bedroom. One option is to build a new double garage, convert the existing one and build above it (subject to maybe needing additional structural work). I’m looking for ideas as to how this layout would work. The kitchen/ bathrooms/ windows etc all need done, so open to moving walls etc! Is it possible to have access to the new room above the garage from the existing stairs? Or would we need to go through the front bedroom?

Maybe convert bedroom 2 ensuite to a family bathroom and access the new bedroom via the existing bathroom window?

Extensions are a great way to tranform a house into more friendly living space. Bi-folding doors, a nice big dining table in the middle and some quirky scandi furniture look amazing in building extensions.

Extending Kitchen into Garage/Partial Garage Conversion

Sorry to resurrect an old thread that I totally forgot to check. Thanks both for suggestions :-). We did eventually put a door from hall into garage to get things moving in the right direction but life gets in the way. We now want to extend the kitchen into the passage that runs down the side of the kitchen, which is just part of the garage so we can create a U shape kitchen with breakfast bar. The kitchen had already been extended into the garage by 1.5m when we moved in, so the wall we want to knock down is non supporting. The extension would only be 1 x 3m into the garage, we'd brick up on both sides to block from garage and the bit that juts out onto the patio. Would need pipes & electrical cables re-routing and all the works associated with making it into a liveable area. It would also mean we'd need to knock through to the patio from the kitchen, the existing window is 1.2m wide and 2.05m from floor to lintel, figured we wouldn't have too much trouble replacing this with a door? Looking for an idea of cost really if anyone has any idea? We are Midlands based. Any advice much appreciated :-)

Hi, The extension over the garage should be relatively straightforward in terms of layout but you would have to apply for planning permission. You would also need a structural engineer to check that the existing structure of the garage is sufficiently strong, or could be strengthened to support the new first floor. The first-floor layout I have shown mirrors the top of the stairs so that there are another 2 steps so that the first floor is all the same level. this has to be a small landing at the top of the stairs so i have used this area as a new bathroom and then the front makes the 3rd bedroom significantly bigger. the existing bathroom could be turned into a decent-sized bedroom by taking some of the room from bedroom 2. At the ground floor, the shower could be removed to leave just a W/C and allow easy access from the kitchen to the utility. I would also block up the door in the kitchen to give more space for units and worktops and possibly enlarge the island. Please let me know what you think? And I wish you all the best with your project!! Phill

Hi ,

There are so many ways you could redesign this layout. I suggest you start with creating a vision for your home. I have a free Design Your Home Vision Checklist that you can get here: https://www.i-architect.co.uk/dyhvchecklist.html

You maybe also be interested in the Renovation Roadmap Workshop that I'm running next week on Friday. It will help you plan your renovations so you can control the time, cost and quality or your build.

Best wishes with your home redesign!
