combining rooms in an old house - kitchen and bathroom changes
Hi. I have a small kitchen next to an outside toilet. I'm thinking to remove the outside toilet and combine the space with the kitchen, and then perhaps open the kitchen into the rear reception to make it a kitchen diner?
I'm also considering combining the upstairs bathroom and separate toilet into a proper family size bathroom?
Any ideas or suggestions? The second picture is a poor attempt to explain what I'm thinking, red lines are walls being removed and green lines are new walls or doors (there is supposed to be a door on the new green diagonal wall in the bathroom in the second picture). My first time doing something like this. Thanks!

Comments (2)Tastes change with time - and fashion promotes the latest trends so that eventually what ever you choose could look dated... It's what keeps business going - so maybe only tile where it's needed... Personally, if I were choosing for myself, I'd choose plain white in the largest tile with absolute minimum grout as I hate when the grout looks old / grubby as always happens . Then I'd add colour with towels that could be changed to give a different feel when I fancied a change if you see what I mean ! That's my taste - yours could be totally different ! There's loads of beautiful pics on Houzz - best idea is to do a bathroom search and see what appeals to you ! Then think is it practical ? Can I afford it ? Will it suit the house ! If you are doing the floor too - adding underfloor heating is a lovely way to keep an ambient temperature and- let's face it - it's kinder on bare feet too !!...See MoreWe are renovating our en suite bathroom and would love advice
Comments (3)We have made room for an en-suite shower room to our guest room we went for the largest shower cubicle we could reasonably fit in. Found the nicest white tiles to make the best of the space. Fitted bifold shower screen feeling the space was too small for a wet room( too much drying off of the fittings and paddling water beyond the area). toilet opposite, and sacrificed on the basin, just a small wash hand basin. Our thinking being that these days people tend to shower rather than wash and the smaller basin works well for teeth cleaning and hand washing. it works well. Hope yours will too....See Moreneed help with flow of old house
Comments (0)Hello Would anyone have experience with a similar property to ours and share their solution/knowledge? Issue We have a small Victorian cottage gable-onto-driveway with L-shaped garden. The hall door, porch is three-quarters of the way down the property. Our modest accommodation 3 bedrooms (at gable) (the double b/room currently doubles up as a playroom), sitting room, (internal/no windows) bathroom and then scullery kitchen and off that a side return ('internal' courtyard which we have nice storage outbuilding and in is also where we also grow vegetables, fruit etc. Our idea We would like to bring the porch to the 'front' of the cottage. We want build a hall cottage entrance replicated but flush with corridor-hall. The bedrooms would then have new entrance doors through old gable wall into new hall. The hall door will be centre of the new hall, build a bathroom to one side (external window, proper ventilation). This new hallway would wrap around to the left of the property into a 30sqm room with french doors facing front and french doors at other end of that room (onto leftover section of garden) and this room would have a small en suite. This room would connect by french doors (subsume the current windows into the sitting room). The internal bathroom can be (happily!) demolished and space used to double the size of kitchen and connect by barn door/sliding solid door to playroom/dining room. We think this build would provide adequate living space for our small family and a flow to the house with spaces that can join up and close off, such flow which it currently lacks. Any advice / issues with hallway (integral porch, hall door) at gable with wraparound to garden room?...See MoreNicola Rhodes

last yearPerhaps the attached may suit your requirements for the ground floor ?
An open plan kitchen diner with a small space possibly for a sofa.
A new wc is created via the old kitchen door.
Kitchen moved to the front of the house with an island and seating around it.
In terms of the first floor that should be easy enough to create a larger bathroom by combing the wc and bathroom. It may also be possible to create an en-suite to the bedroom at the front but that would need looking at in more detail.
