Terrace house layout
Hello. Thanks for reading this post! Have read some really helpful suggestions on other people's posts so thought I'd try our dilemma. We have a 3 bed end of terrace with a frustrating layout downstairs. We have a small galley kitchen next to a much bigger bath room (doublesink, big corner bath, separate shower). For some context, the kitchen is a single storey extension. The bathroom and bedroom above are a much earlier 2 storey extension. The next few houses on our road have the 2 storey extension but not the single. Next door is a 2 bedroom with the bath room upstairs and a decent sized kitchen. And next to them they do have 3 bedrooms with a shallow kitchen through to a small bath room.
Our priority is more kitchen space but would love to improve access/link to garden.
We were all set to go with taking a metre off the bath room and adding to kitchen (supporting wall so steel needed). But didn't go ahead due to covid. We now just want to make sure we aren't missing a better solution. We had an earlier quote just swapping bathroom and kitchen and adding the space by current bath room (coats, storage etc atm) to new kitchen. But were concerned bathroom would be too small.
Open to any suggestions! We don't really need more space just need better use of space we have(The older I get the more appealling an upstairs toilet is but not a priority just yet!).
Dining room and front room both have fireplace/chimney breasts. Bathroom is a step down from rest of ground floor. Side access beside existing kitchen.
Perhaps just moving wall as we had planned is best option but be great to hear any other suggestions. Thanks for reading.

Narrow House (15.4ft / 4.7m) - what are my layout options?
Comments (9)HI -- gross635 -- Your right to some degree but you can't move the main floor bath to the other side because then that interfers with the floor plan on the second floor. Would not work . I would have loved to turn the whole plan around but it won't work in this case. Added note to what I posted before is to get rid of anywalls you don't need and also not every room has to have a door. Like the one on the lounge and the one at the end of the hall. I would open the lounge up by not having the walls on the entrance hall . As for a closet , there is space in front of the set back powder room for some coat hooks etc. I also question the fact of , if the lounge is really needed. Everything could have been shifted to the front and the kitchen set back , then that would have made a larger dining/familyroom area . But that would have ruined the resale value . So I think moving the bathrooms was the lest and best for this plan. One question I have , is this an English plan ?, because the English love putting doors on every room ?And usually the doors swing the wrong way....See MoreLayout of house remodel
Comments (2)I agree that the dining room does not work as it is currently drawn. There is not enough room for the family room because of the position of the table plus the table fills the space and doesn't really fit there. You might consider widening the kitchen to allow room for the dining room to the right of the island. Square off the room. The door does not have to be at a 45 degree angle........See MoreKitchen layout ideas
Comments (0)Hi guys, we've bought a house off the plans. It's a 4 bed end of terrace in a new Estate. We got to visit our house in a site visit recently and the kitchen is smaller than we expected. It's always hard to visualise space. I've included a plan below. The kitchen is 5m wide and flat against one wall. There are 2 doors for utility and family room in a corner that causes issues for the layout. Ideally we would want an island and a good long dining table. We can't find a way to place both in the space without completely cramping the kitchen. The reason for the island is for additional cabinets and counter space. Another option was for the double doors into the living room to be a solid wall, and for us to extend the kitchen around to the full wall, thereby eliminating the need for an island and allowing plenty of room for a good sized dining table. Another option is to put in a nice large island and moving the dining table into the family room, but it seems odd to be creating a seperate dining room. I would love to hear some of your thoughts on options of keeping the double doors, island and dining table....See MoreLayout living kitchen

3 years agoMy son bought a 2 bed version of this house (upstairs bathroom) and daughter is looking for the same so we’ve seen quite a few configurations. The most common which retains the 3beds is this-it does make the bathroom and 3rd bed v small but works in several cases we’ve seen. I’m not sure whether it works with your staircase though. If you look on Rightmove sold prices for 2/3 bed terraced roads you’ll find lots of possible floor plans and photos of what the resulting rooms look like.
