Bungalow redesign/extend ideas

last month
last modified: last month

Hi all

Im so excited about my new home. We've been here for a few months now - seeing what its like flow wise and light wise before looking at helping it reach its full potential - In my last house I made decisions in haste and regretted them later so this is going to be much more relaxed as we see ourselves here very long term.

Its in a good spot and its currently a 3 bed 2 shower room detached bungalow on a small corner plot, which is great for our needs.

I would like to extend and rejig it - going upwards would be wonderful but not yet as we cant afford that - can you extend but have in mind that a few years down the line, you may extend upwards too at some point?

Pictures below and things of note:-

The whole back of the bungalow faces east which is lovely in the mornings

As a result front of house is west and the living room being multi aspect is lovely and light

No hallways to speak of - the main one from the main entrance is not good and when entering people are faced with the toilet - and the end corners of both bedroom walls and its dark

We do like the main bedroom being separate from the other bedrooms but it can sometimes feel like a 1 bedroom flat as again no hallway off of here and this bedroom is dark even though its west facing because of the garden wall in front

Dining room is a bit of a waste as its really just a walkthrough room

Perhaps one of the main areas to gain would be extending forwards from the living room and middle bedroom to create a flat fronted property. (marked green on pic)

Secondly extending from the living room window which faces north to make the wall level with the ensuite showroom (but that window would have to move to north too) (marked green on pic)

Kitchen is small with a small lean to at the back (be nice to have a laundry area)
Property is detached

So that's it really - im guessing next step is to go to an architect but if anyone has the time to give me any ideas as a starting point that would be fab as I dont know where to begin

Thanks in advance - Ive been a long term follower of all the fab advice and input on these pages and am really thrilled to try and get anyones ideas.

Forgot to say - would very much like to keep it as a 3 bed 2 bath
