Comments (25)Because your needing to save some money for the project: I'm thinking unless your in a great area, your possibly putting too much into higher end elements and features. Because after all it is still a semi detached bungalow and your not planning to stay forever. If I was downsizing, I'd be after more living space. But of course you could have the option of using the larger bedroom for a separate lounge. If you were considering that option I'd leave the fireplace there. I think the finished house is still not enormous so I think 2 entries are sufficient. If your sure you need a separate utility, I'd look to combining the WC and utility. I have never priced up windows and doors in the UK but I'd expect that you could go double glazed and maybe even consider (everyone's favourite :I ) a not so ugly version of the plastic windows, if they exist. All the elements and the plans look really nice (except the smallish living space), but to get it into budget I think you'll need to downgrade some of the more higher end elements. There was a bunch of high end elements to my house that I renovated that was really a waste of money. For example, I sprung for a lot of beautiful aluminium framed windows, way more than I really needed, but they looked great in the design. So then I ended up with a really hot glass box which I had to spend even more cash to control the light, privacy and heat. Good luck with it all!...See MoreRenovation ideas please for updating bungalow layout

Comments (5)How old is the bungalow? Which walls can you remove? There was only one supporting wall in my entire bungalow so I could, in theory, rebuild the whole interior including the area taken up by the integral garage. I think it’ll be worth getting a structural engineer to check it out before making any decisions. For what it’s worth, my hallway is a massive 230sq ft, and I love it! I’m still working on it but looking forward to furnishing it and adding memorabilia to walls and shelves...See MoreCreate Perfect
