This was a high end / finish project and had a reasonable budget. It depends on the level of detail, finish, location etc and can discuss in more detail if you wish to email me at info@box.ie.

Hi All I am lucky enough to live in a house that 99% of people would say is perfectly fine, But i dont like the layout or style.my problem is I cant move and as the house would cost approx 400k euros to rebuild I am not sure if I would be happy when finished . The front cannot be changed to a minimalist box of my desire ,but the rest can. This cost would leave me with no money. I am 55yo and dont want to spend my last 30 years not happy with the house and broke as well. I am looking for advice from somebody who could convey their experience as to how their remodel enhanced the quality of life over the expense. Long shot i know . regards Gary

Buy poor quality house with a view to die for or build our dream hom?!
Q

We are in a bit of a dilemma... We wanted to buy the place we are currently renting but at the same time it has a lot of issues. We also have a plot of land which we could build, againt there are several issues. Buy the house we are currently renting. It's a large 5 double beds, 2 bathrooms house. Not energy efficient as the gas/elec cost of running the house is high. Pro: 360 degree view, 180 of the sea/beach view and the other is 180 of mountain view 4 acres of flat land on the hill The house is already there so there's no time wasted to build. Con: Roof needs to be replaced Plumbing needs to be replaced Heating system needs to be replaced Rewiring Windows need to be replaced The quality of the house was poorly built NB: All the Con points can be addressed within the next 5 years Build a 3 bed, 2 bath house. Pro: It will be built to our spec It will be energy efficient The house will be smaller The plot of land belongs to us so its free Cost of running the house will hopefully be less than our current place Con: There is only about 1.5 acre of land It will be built onto a hill so will need to cut into the mountain as its on a slope There's only 180 degree view of mountain and a little bit of the sea as we are further away It will take a year or 2 to build The road leading up to it is a private road so will need to pave the road every 5 years which will cost us money (there are no other houses there so can't share the cost). We will be less reluctant to sell if we wanted to in the future as it is on family land We have a very young toddler and a baby, so its not a project we can waste time or money. The cost to purchase the 4 acres land house will cost almost the same as to build the 1.5 acre land house. What would should we do? In an ideal world and if we can afford, we would prefer buying the house with the 4 acres of land, knock down the house to the ground and build from scratch. But we don't have the money to do that AND if we did, the house/land won't be worth what we would have invested in if we were to sell it in the future.

Help with dark, viewless kitchen and dining room

Hiya, I agree about the extra bits on the back. I would remove them including the dining room bay but retain the existing external kitchen wall and square it off with the dining room, knocking through to make a kitchen diner. I'll paste my drawing in below. - the dimensions made me think you could create a loo and even fit a shower in the kitchen space but looking again at the photos make me doubt the shower idea! - retaining the kitchen windows and back door would reduce costs - the new downstairs loo area could have a sliding door that remained open when not in use so that the light from that window reached further in - you could fit a roof light above the utility space to draw more light into the remaining kitchen area - it would be tempting to fit bi-fold doors to the new dining room opening but I would research 1930s patio doors in case you could find some more in keeping with the rest of the house - with the same goal in mind, could bricks be reused for the new section of wall required to square off the utility area and dining room? You'd need advice on the dining and kitchen doors area, e.g, a pillar might be required (which could be built into the kitchen design?) so I've just left them as is. I hope this is helpful.

We did consider that, but the expense would be alot higher to move the cabinets and stove to that side of the kitchen, it's also darker at that side of the kitchen in comparison to where the range is
