I am looking to add a WC in ground floor for accessibility but space is really tight. My dilemma is should I go for interior change in ground floor to add WC or should I go an extension to add a WC. Rear I have a slight slope garden which could make extension complex.Please find current layout in comment section
I would be looking to see what neighbours have done. In my opinion the solution is to build a small two room extension forward of the front door that can be WC and a porch. This is easier to get planning for if someone has already set the precedent and built similar.
You could also replace the utility room with a bigger space that includes a WC but I am less keen of that as I don’t like a toilet to be between a principal room and the garden
Thanks Jonathan for suggestions. Front of house entrance is bit elevated from street level at least 4 ft so we have to claim few steps on stairs. No neighbours have porch built yet. It is a semi detached with driveway going all the way to back of house near utility room. It is 8 ft wide driveway.
Same layout as houses in my street so fair chance your soil pipe runs down the drive beside the house. One neighbour opted for a side extension to provide an open space for shoes & coats which leads to a loo. Same width drive as yours, bit tight for modern cars so they park in front of the house which meant ok to extend to side (kept a path). Unexpected benefit was how grand the house feels on entering as it's effectively double fronted now.
