Replace the old kitchen and conservatory with a single-storey extension. Connect kitchen, dining and family living, with a useful utility and a direct route from the hall.
Before The kitchen and conservatory occupy separate rear spaces, reached through the dining room.
After Remove both rear structures and build a new single-storey kitchen and dining extension. The 23.10 m² space has an island, fitted storage and doors to the garden.
Family living
Open the dining room into the kitchen.
After A wide opening connects the former dining room to the extension. It becomes an 18.24 m² family sitting room, while the separate front lounge remains.
Circulation
Go straight from the hall to the kitchen.
After Use part of the former office to create a direct route into the kitchen. Everyday trips no longer need to pass through the family seating area.
Utility
Give laundry its own place.
After A compact 2.30 m² utility sits beside the new route, keeping laundry separate from the kitchen.
Retained The front lounge, bedrooms and existing bathroom facilities stay in place.
