2 cupboards are a general storage one and for a washing machine / dryer. The chiminey is for show only.

Thanks for all your inputs, I would really appreciate ideas on extension options for when the house is built, I do not expect the developer to make structural alternations (as they wont). All ideas welcome and I'll ignore personal comments about forum numbers as they do not interest me...

Hi, the kitchen diner is not too bad but would love to extend with bifolds and skylights. Here are the internal plans.. Ideas?

It's worth another ask, as some of the other similar properties have the kitchen diner on the right. If not, would it be possible to build an extension with an angled wall to account for the angles boundary fence?

Hi, I have asked them and they are so not build "bespoke" so can't materially change the plans unfortunately. Aftermarket extensions are our only choice, any ideas?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I understand your concerns, we are moving to the new area due a number of factors including schools, location, the development & house is perfect for us apart of us wanting a little extra room in the kitchen diner. (There isn't a house model available meeting our exact...

Hi all, I am buying a new build house next year and really want to extend the kitchen diner (on the left side) of the property, however the boundary fencing is on an angle. I've added a birds eye pic from the development model to show the plot. Any clever ideas to get around this? I'd...

Started to pull down the old flat porch this evening, no concrete just three metal bars that stick out from the lintel to hold the weight. Will probably have to get an angle grinder on them to drop them off either flush with the wall or ideally just behind the brck line to be mortar'd over...

Hi, good point. I'm planning on undercoating and a few layers of external grade gloss, its not my forever home so should last long enough to fulfil my needs.

Hi Both, thanks for your replies. The existing porch is not concrete, it's made of wood and roofing felt construction. When I pull on it, it seems pretty flimsy. I am hoping that it is just brick behind it so that the apex porch just over the door will work. Has anyone removed one like...

Hi All, I am planning on replacing the existing ugly 1950's flat porch with a more attractive Apex porch and could do with some help before I attempt this DIY style. Before: After (Photoshop): I have purchased a Richard Burbidge Apex Porch from B&Q which seems to be good value...
