Help Bungalow Extension

Jen Lance
7 anni fa
my husband and I are planning to add an extension to our bungalow. we will be demolishing the current conservatory and sun room to make room for this. we are unsure wether to have two seperate extensions (one at rear and one on the right hand side) or a complete L shape. we hope to make room for a kitchen at the rear dining area and lounge. please see my mock designs. any advice would be appreciated. please note the original living area will become two rooms and the stairs will be moved to the original kitchen. we may also remove the wall between the sun room and kitchen for more space.

    Hi. I like Jonathan's idea but if it were mine if do it a little differently. I'd make the top of the garage a small utility (I think there's just about room?!) as I think most people use garages as storage nowadays. I'd make the bedroom next to the hall a little bigger so move the front door and room door and make that bedroom a snug as I think people tend to favour living space over sleeping and not many people need a 5 bed home. Based on the door size it just looks too small to be used as a snug/lounge now and personally I'd want a separate room if going open plan living. Is there a reason however that you want to move the stairs? i also think it's important to have a decent size hall in a property of this size

      I like the one you have done in blue, it's creates an expansive space that will become the hub of the house.

      Yes the blue one. Are you going to make space for a cloakroom?

      Hi. How many bedrooms do you have upstairs and what do you need as it potentially looks a little top heavy on sleeping space on the face of it?

      Thank you for the comments. There are two rooms in the loft. we are adding extra rooms for future investment. however as we have no children currently we will not be using them as bedrooms at the moment. we may consider using the two of the downstairs rooms as an office and snug. any suggestions? we are open to suggestions for all rooms downstairs including what the space where the kitchen is currently could become and the extension.

      As long as you have enough bathrooms to match the potential future occupants I think it will work. Plus, like you said you can use the downstairs rooms for something other than bedrooms.

      possibly a cloak area under or next to the stairs.

      thanks susan. we will have an extra bathroom upstairs. do you have any suggestions for layout of extension and maybe suggestions for use of other rooms?

      What do you mean by future investment? Renting the rooms out individually? 6 bedrooms seems like a lot for only 1 reception space. I prefer option 2 but keeping the large living room at the front.

      Are you sure building regs will permit you having stairs open plan from the kitchen up to sleeping accommodation?

      Why do you have to move the stairs?
      Also are you extending behind the kitchen for any particular reason? If you consider where the sun is in your garden and the shape of the back garden where is the best place for an extension?
      Also how much room do you have at the side? Is it going to make a narrow living room? Since this will be a family sized house when you are finished would you be better having a garage on the side?

      the narrow living room did concern me. any advice for the best layout would be appreciated.

      Hi Jen. Do you also have an upstairs plan and someone may be able to help ideally with dimensions? Using your 2nd plan you could keep the stairs where they are and make B2 the hall with B1 being a snug. Or move the front door a little to make the snug a bit bigger. Do you want a utility which may be a requirement for a bigger family home?

      hi minnie that sounds like a good idea. where would you suggest locating a laundry room? also what would you suggest we use the space where the original kitchen is for?

      I have created a few possible layouts.
      k-kitchen
      L-living room
      L-laundry room
      C-closet

      i have also included some internal walls, a round dining table, an Lshape sofa and a kitchen island.
