Design Dilemma Renovating

layout ideas - old cottage

3 years ago

Hello,

So I’m buying a period property with a layout that is just 3 rooms with no hallway etc. Would love to get ideas or opinions on how I could rejig things without an extension etc! So I’m down for knocking down internal walls, ideally I’d like to get a utility room, and an open plan kitchen with the dreaded island. The utility doesn’t need to be near the kitchen or anything!

Any tips or tricks or ways of looking at it would be awesome!

How about blocking up the exterior door in the dining room so you could extend downstairs loo to incorporate a utility room,then take down the kitchen wall if you want more kitchen space.
You could swap dining room window for patio doors too

We are building an extension onto an old 1930's cottage.. only living in the extension for a few years.. because of not much sun light we were thinking would an upstairs downstairs work, which would bring more light / heat in through sky lights etc but there isn't much info or plans out there. . Any ideas?

Hi all We have recently begun renovations on an old cottage that had been extended a couple of times by previous owners. The house had two large chimney breasts that have been removed. One of these was between the kitchen/ living room, opening up this space and then the other chimney was between two bedrooms. As part of the chimney removal in the bedrooms we were thinking of moving the remaining dividing wall back making the front bedroom larger as gets better light and then the middle bedroom would be more tv snug/ office/ guest room. Any thoughts on this or the plans in general, just seeing if it is the best layout before we go too far. Thanks
