Hi everyone,
We found a house we really like in our budget, in fact ticks all boxes except one.
The ground floor has been opened out already into a big kitchen/diner/lounge. There is a new kitchen in (which we like) and all is generally very nice.
The issue is that we would like to extend the house in future, to allow the big kitchen/diner but wall off a separate lounge (I like having a separate lounge separate from cooking and cleaning etc).
This is where my total lack of vision comes in, most houses have the big kitchen/diner on the back. Can’t seem to find inspiration online. General plan would be to add 6x3 metre extension along the back.
I’m concerned that any new lounge ‘created’ would either be long and thin on the left of the plan below, and/or have a lack of light. Ideally we don’t want to move the kitchen.
While of course we would employ an architect of some sort to handle this in future, it is my one concern before putting an offer in.
Can anyone provide some ideas/advice if this can be done?
Thanks!
