Add a bedroom in 2bedroom bungalow
We are planning to buy this 2 bedroom bungalow which we rented (for 5 years and emotionally attached). We would like to add 1 more bedroom(2 if possible). And would like to extend kitchen as well as the current one is not sufficient for me. And we need one extra bathroom as well , either attached with bedroom or seperately. Could anyone give an idea, how this could be extended? The plot is huge and I am planning to extend at the rear. The beauty of this house is, every room has a garden view at either front / back gardens and it's always bright and sunny.
I don't mind a open kitchen with dining area , rather than seperate dining room. But require lots of storage.
As you see in picture, hallway is as big as a bedroom. Any idea to get some space from there? And Laundry room is reasonable size. Its ok to incorporate washing machine and dryer in kitchen as well.
Please give your suggestions.
And what would be the approximate cost for this extension? We are living in South west.
Or is it a better idea to go and buy a 4 bedroom house?
Please advice, as this is our first house and we have no idea, which is better option?
Please excuse the picture, as I don't have the house plan.
Thanks a lot.

4 years agoTo add,
We are couple with 2 teenagers( girl and a boy). So, need seperate bedroom for them. We need one more Bathroom as well. Thats priority no 1. It's ok to loose the wet room which only has shower now. What we need is a toilet cum shower room.
The plot is north facing. I have attached pics as well. Please suggest.
Thanks

4 years agoThere are lots of ways to extend this. I suspect you are looking at £90k of work and it might be better to buy what you need rather than extending

Need help for my tiny rented bedroom!!
Comments (4)Thanks! Yeah I tried to rotate the bed so the headboard would be opposite the radiator but it meant the wardrobe doors wouldn't open. I may need to change the bed frame to include storage space alright but it would need to add height not width which is tricky to find ready made. I like the idea of a loft bed but since it's rented I don't think I could really do anything that involves attaching to walls......See MoreInternal Doors - Walnut v Oak
Comments (3)If the hall is that narrow and dark, walnut is not going to help as you've said. I assume you favour darker woods so wouldn't be keen on a light oak? If you really want the doors, add decent lighting. Go for an off white paint with a cream undertone with reflective particles. Add mirrors or anything reflective to bounce the light around. Painting the skirts and architraves white would help but I assume you want these left natural? Just a long shot but have you considered white doors with a walnut floor?!...See MoreNeed advice re extension to bungalow
Comments (5)Thanks Jonathandb1972. That looks like a lovely layout I really like the open plan but our driveway around the house will come from the left side so that's why we had thought of addiing the extension to the right. I'm sure we could use your idea on the right side and it would still throw in plenty of light. Regarding the rooms: the long room to the right is the current kitchen which is currently very dark and cold, the small room behind this is the utility, the two rooms to the left of this are a front living room and back lounge. The rooms left of this are 4 bedrooms a bathroom, hotpress and outside toilet. Thanks again for all your suggestions....See MoreNeed help for wall decoration in long hallway
Comments (2)Hi Odette! Have you had any progress with decorating? Hanging a mirror could be good in terms of light reflection and making a space seem bigger than it is. I like your idea with the photographs and horizontal lines - I might add some adjustable spotlights to make a feature out of the photographs! For e.g....See MoreAnitha Vijay
