Bring cooking, dining and family time together across the garden side of the house, with a separate playroom and a practical utility tucked into the garage.
A personal walkthrough of the ideas, the ground-floor changes and how the spaces work together.
Open the rear lounge and kitchen into one generous family room, while keeping the quieter spaces separate.
Before The rear lounge and kitchen/diner sit beside each other, separated by a wall. A bar, small office and utility occupy the spaces between them and the front rooms.
After Combine the rear lounge, kitchen and former utility area into a 48.77 m² kitchen and family room. Fitted units run down the right-hand wall, with an island, dining in the middle and seating to the left. Wide folding doors connect the space to the garden.
After The former bar becomes a playroom, and the small study stays in its corner. The front living room remains a separate retreat, while new double doors lead from the hall into the family space. The existing WC stays beside the front entrance.
After Move the utility into part of the garage, with a small pantry linking it to the kitchen and hall. This arrangement keeps more garage depth than a room across its full rear width; vehicle fit would need checking against the actual car and measured clearances.
