Can you solve our floor plan puzzle?!

6 months ago

We've recently purchased an 1890's Farmhouse in Scotland, and it's in need of some work! We're facing a puzzle with the thick granite walls and the fact that the house is located in a conservation area. Our goal is to create the best possible layout, with a focus on having the master bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and maximizing the stunning sea views to the east of the property. We'd also like to incorporate a utility room and are considering knocking through into the bothy to utilise that space somehow as well.

We're open to any suggestions for a more optimal layout that takes into account these challenges and our desire for a beautiful, functional space. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

To help answer your question could you please give an idea of the size- how big are the lounge and kitchen. Also are you able to extend in any direction? And could your laundry room be a utility? Your original post makes it sound like you want an extra space - if so what’s that for?

Other Houzzers are great at furniture placement, but I wanted to note that you really should have seating facing the fireplace and/or the t.v.

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!

If you are worried about the hallway being dark why not have a fully glazed door into the open plan area at this bottom of the stairs. This would allow you to see straight through the house when you walk in the front door and make the hallway feel much brighter and less closed in?
