Hi All,
I'm thinking about getting an extension done and just wondering whether it's in my budget or not. Also, I'd appreciate your thoughts on my overall idea - in case there's something you think could be done better.
Here's the current layout - it's the basement which backs onto the garden (two storey from the front, 3 at the back). There's a side galley then the next doors house. Where it says wall - that's a thick stone wall separating my garden and the neighbours garden.
Here's what I'd like to extend it out to:
And here's a photo of what the kitchen/dining area would look like:
I'd like to knock the whole 'old' extension down (which is the last block in pic one) It's an old two storey extension with very thick walls and it is always freezing there. Currently it's the kitchen and a bathroom above it. I'd like the 1st floor to extend out as far as the kitchen to make a bedroom. Then on top of that, to extend the 2nd floor enough to put a small-ish bathroom as that's where the 3 bedrooms are. If budget became an issue I wouldn't mind if these two rooms are just plumbed with electrics as the plaster and finishing can always be done another year.
So what do you think? Any rough estimates on what this might cost? Could anything be done better? Any thoughts at all?
Thanks in advance!
