Hi there, we are considering buying a house which needs a new kitchen (among other things!) We were wondering whether we could tweak the floor plan downstairs to improve the layout- for instance knocking through the kitchen to make it open plan and closing off the sitting room. Anyone have any ideas? All thoughts welcome! Thanks :)

Those measurements for the sitting/dining don’t look right. It appears to be a much longer narrower space. My view is you will ultimately have to extend to get a good sized kitchen. Extending it into the narrow end of the sitting/dining will be very narrow and with the door into the conservatory not much usable space. For now, live with it and save up for your dream extension.

You could create an ensuite by borrowing space from the second bedroom, accessing it from the master. I would create one large luxury family bathroom by joining the current bathroom and the adjoining room into one. If you don't want to lose a room, you could swap the purpose of the two rooms, creating a medium sized bathroom and a small box room/study (expensive for some benefit). Lastly, if you really want to maintain the number of rooms but gain a bigger bathroom, you could move the family bathroom to the bottom, right-hand room, if plumbing allows. Hope this helps.

Our builder suggested we get rid of the sittingroom walls and leave only the wall between the sittingroom and kitchen so we would in effect be walking from front door into the open plan sittingroom room. What do you guys think? We will not be having the stairs yet until we convert the attic in the future

Hi, I hope the renovation is going well! To answer your question - No, it would not look jarring. It is becoming more and more common to have one or two feature rooms using the herringbone style and to use straight plank in the other joining rooms. With regards to the flow of the flooring, once the woods are of a similar colour, this should not be an issue. Hopefully this helps, if you have any further questions about any part of the renovation don't hesitate to get in touch with us! Kind regards, Conor. Buildtech

We are in the process of buying this house and ive ideas of how to make it work best for our young family but it would be great to get some thoughts on my proposed layout. Any advice would be hugely appreciated. On the right we are thinking of making the drawing room smaller, adding a wall and creating a pantry which can be accessed through the utility room. On the left we are thinking of adding a wall to the dining room to make half the room an office and the rest of the space a boot room. The w/c is tiny and under the stairs with steps down so this needs to change. I was considering adding a w/c when you come in on the right of the door as the 'studio' is just dead space - pic attached. In the kitchen I'm also considering knocking the wall to the living room to make this more open plan and potentially doing a v small extension off the kitchen for a playroom that would lead out to the garden. My two boys are under three so I want the playroom to be as near the kitchen as possible. Excuse my very simplistic drawing - hopefully it explains what I'm trying to articulate. Would really love some thoughts
