Rear extension/open plan kitchen diner, living area.
Comments (1)If only 75% finished the inside of the new room is probably unfinished plaster. When the room is finished and decorated you will find it far more reflective....See MoreShower room location in open plan kitchen extension
Comments (6)Thanks for your responses it helps to hear other viewpoints we perhaps hadn't considered before. Daisy, we wanted to bring the downstairs wc into the heart of the house as the current location was effectively the old outhouse of the original house and using this area we'd lose access to the garden other than through the new open plan area. Base 2 - some helpful considerations there. We did actually consider your first point before we appointed an architect but he pointed out the practicalities as we'd lose access through the house from the garden to front of house via garage as we have no side access to our garden. You're right as we've only been here for just under a year but never put our cars in the garage and I doubt any of our neighbours use theirs for cars these days as would likely be too small for most cars. I think we'll probably end up with something similar to your 3rd option and lose some of the hallway space under the stairs. 88wj88 - thanks thats a useful point to consider. The utility is a bit of an awkward space as it's effectively a lean-to/passageway, we do want to make it more of a useful space rather than just a corridor but have to also consider the access practicalities it currently provides....See MoreFloor Plan Advice for Rear Extension
Comments (4)I guess you can never have too much space with 4 children, I can imagine how I would use the existing living room and dining room :-). Few questions - is that an opening from the existing dining room to extension? what is the dotted line section on bottom left of extension next to kitchen? are you having an island? I'm not sure about having all the kitchen units down the left hand of the wall, 10m is a long way to walk to get some from one cupboard. I think its better to have kitchen 'contained' in a section of extension, then you can create a zone for living and dining space....See MoreRear extension plan
Comments (3)Thank you so much! I love the extension layout. This is so helpful and will help me to plan the existing layout (plumbing, rewiring & wall issues) to make the future extension more seamless. It’s now looking likely that the corridor would be on the other side of the stairs. This would allow for the bedroom to have its own entrance without going through living room. The soil pipe & sink is currently where the kitchen back door is. I’d also like a dishwasher near there. Not sure how much that would affect things. Are extension side windows be worth it if the view is facing a fence?...See MoreSara Babikir
