moved into our forever home last summer. It is in heart of the countryside, close to work and with a stunning 2 acre garden. It is a very dated 2 bedroom bungalow - decent size rooms but needs new flooring throughout, kitchen, bathroom etc. There is just me and DH.
The layout is a bit higgledy-piggledy and you enter the propety through the kitchen, which i don't like. Was thinking we could maybe add a central hallway/ corridor going from the entrance, and maybe swap the front bedroom and kitchen over etc. the only way to do this, and keep good dimensions would be to knock down 4 interior walls, before repositioning them and adding the corridor. Anyone done anything similar and what did it cost you approx? I have no idea if this is all financial pie in the sky! Also, in order to get the corridor/ dimensions right, i was wondering if we should consult an architect, but i have no idea how much they charge? Money is not exactly tight and we hope to be here for a good fifty years or so, so it's worth spending a bit to get it right, but i don't want to be throwing money away!
