Ground Floor Victorian Flat Extension

last year

last modified: last year

Hi All,

Looking for some help and advice on how best to build an extension in our ground floor victorian flat. We would love to somehow change the space into a two bed if possbile and add a dining area as we currently don't really have one.

I'm attaching our floor plan which shows the layout currently. Our garden is large enough to extend into (the plan makes it looks very small but it's about 16m long x 5m wide) and might be what we need to do if we want an added bedroom but would love some suggestions on the space and configuration.

Any help would be extrememly appreciated as we have no idea where to begin!

Lauren

Jen, are you sure everything is in proportion? I'm asking, because that store seems to be just a bit wider than a door (so about 1 m) which is fine, but doesn't give much space to manoeuvre inside it. Also, a bit too many doors in a small space, but I'm afraid I can't offer you a remedy for that. You have two wide, massive windows and a door in between, I think that will give plenty of light. Personally, I'd just add skylights or a glass roof. Or a long strip of glass all along What you don't seem to have is ventilation windows. Trust me, you're going to want one in the utility, or at least a good fan. Transom style windows could work too if you can open them. I really wish you'd see an architect... there are lots of different, small things that a professional can spot from miles away that you wouldn't even consider. As I said, I regret we didn't; our house is great, but it could've been even better!

Floorboards which direction?

You should lay them the best way for that particular room so if its narrow go width-ways, if its wide go length-ways. It is very common to have differing ways in the same home. Our Victorian house has original floorboards to the entire ground floor and the hallway boards swap directions when you get to the side return. Joists are usually laid to get the shortest span to avoid sag and thus the floorboards on top counter this so houses often have both directions.

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie
