A rear extension brings the kitchen and dining space together. A snug, separate playroom and utility give family life room to spread out, while the front lounge stays peaceful.
A personal walkthrough of the ideas, the changes to each floor and how the spaces work together.
Extend at the back, keep the rooms that work, and give everyday jobs their own place.
Before The kitchen sits behind the hall, with a stepped side wall and a separate dining room next door.
After The extension creates a 26.17 m² kitchen and dining room. An island sits between the fitted kitchen and a family dining table, with two pairs of doors onto the garden.
After The conservatory becomes an 11.20 m² snug, connected by double doors to the 12.24 m² playroom in the former dining room. The front lounge remains separate.
After A 4.20 m² utility takes the rear of the garage, with access from the hall and a side door. A compact 2.01 m² WC remains beside it. A small lobby and cloak storage keep this service area separate from the kitchen.
After The front half of the garage becomes a separate office, with a window facing the street and driveway and its own door from the hall.
Retained The first-floor bedrooms, bathroom, separate WC and landing remain in their existing arrangement.
