We have 4 DC, DD1 - 11y, DD2 - 7y, DD3 - 4y and DS - 1y. We have a good size 4 bedroom house. Downstairs, we have; large lounge, decent size dining room, kitchen/breakfast room & utility. Car port but no garage. All 4 bedrooms are doubles (bed 4 - small double).
We have a budget to extend and realistically we could either go for a loft coversion so that all DC have their own rooms (and poss an upstairs study), or we could extend the kitchen to create a large kitchen/dining/family space, and turn the existing dining room into a kids den.
So, what do you think would benefit us most? More downstairs space or more bedrooms? We don't have the budget to do both.
I swing from one to the other - all very confusing!
Any thoughts? advice on room sharing for those with 4 older DC?
TIA
