Considering a two storey extension to enable us to have a bigger house bathroom. I've just got a couple of structural questions.
The project is the extend an existing two storey lean-to structure (original part of the house), effectively moving the end wall outwards to add an additional 1.5m in width (1.3m internal approx.) to the downstairs cloakroom and toilet, and upstairs bathroom. The wall between the downstairs toilet and cloakroom is just a partition (not load bearing)
I'm wondering if this is structurally possible? If so, does that mean a new floor joists in the existing rooms upstairs and down stairs? Or just a new roof as the perlin is resting on the wall to be moved?
Could this be done as a timber frame to cut time, costs etc. Very basic diagram below. Red area to be extended into to form larger bathroom. Blue fill box is the existing house. So an infill extension of sorts.
Any info or assistance would be much appreciated, and apologies in advance if I've not provided enough info and happy to supply more.
