Hello,
Hoping for some advise please. We moved into our new hose a couple of months ago. It was never planned to be our forever home, more a sideways step as it ticked more boxes than our old place.
The reality is it was probably a mistake. It doesn't really work for us, and it's just not big enough.
After much talking / thinking / panicking we think we can create what we need as its on the end of a row and we have space to extend front, side and back if we want to.
Thinking this has to be what we do. Extend to make it what we want. Our plans our to add a small extension to front to create downstairs loo / bigger entrance with a small study above. Neighbours have done this and it looks good.
Then to extend double height at the side to create a bigger front room (lounge) and a bigger bedroom above (currently 3 small bedrooms, this will define one as the proper master)
We've had a builder round who says all is do able.
What do we do next? Architect? We want to be sure what we've thought of is the best use of space.
How long does a project like this take?
Feeling stressed as we didn't set out to buy a 'project'.
Thank you
