We're looking at buying a house. It's split level, so sitting room and office/playroom are on ground floor and kitchen, utility room and dining room are up a few steps.
I'm very tempted to knock the wall between the kitchen and dining room. They are both ok sized rooms, but the 3 doors in the kitchen means you are a bit limited with wall space (door from hall, door into dining room, door into utility room).
Pros: could make a really nice living space, potentially with a seating/tv area - long term could put french doors out into garden. Gives more space in kitchen if we don't need a kitchen table. Dining room less likely to become a dumping area if it's connected to the kitchen.
Cons: could be pricy. No seperate dining room for entertaining. We lose a room (but there are still two reception rooms on the ground floor).
Anyone got any thoughts or opinions?
