I am in the process of buying a 2 bed Victorian terrace. The bathroom can only be accessed through one of the bedrooms currently. However if the stairs were moved the bathroom could be accessed via the corridor. Does anyone have any ideas on how much this costs? (I am in Bristol)
I worked on a design for a family a few years ago, who had put in a beautiful glass extension with a spiral staircase in the gap at the rear of their house ( next to kitchen and dining areas ) to open /land just infront of the bathroom ( in yours this would shave about 900mm off your bathroom) - but for them it meant easier access to bathroom and larger bedrooms and living areas ... might work for your place too ?
oooo so a two story extension effectively? sounds beautiful. I doubt I could afford this - I was budgeting £30k for a single storey extension to the kitchen and £6k to reverse the staircase. I wonder, do you have a v rough idea of what a double storey extension would cost? (in Bristol) as that does sound amazing - I know you cannot be exact - I can only extend the same length as the kitchen as the garden is pretty small at the back ..
Not sure on exact budget but worth thinking about which side the stairs will be open to (dining room?) and the effect on that room, some of it will effectively become a corridor (that might be ok if you’re doing a downstairs extension anyway but worth bearing in mind!).
Very typical style of 2 bed house in Birmingham! I’ve been in similar homes where the walls to living room have been removed so you walk straight into the living room from entrance and and the stairs have open banisters.
Rather than change the stairs why not reconfigure upstairs and fit an ensuite in the other bedroom?
