We have a 4 bed detached with a decent sized garden.
The kitchen runs across most of the back of the house and is a good size, but a fairly narrow rectangle. There's a small dining room next door. Upstairs the back has bathroom and two smallest bedrooms.
I have this plan to extend 2 stories by 3m (which I think can be done without planning.) which would give a massive square family room/kitchen, and double the size of the two small bedrooms, dining room and bathroom. Hopefully a bit could be taken from larger of two bedroom for an additional bathroom (only one plus downstairs loo atm)
So madness to consider such a big project, or great way to make our house work the way we want it without having to move?
Which brings most hassle, a project like this or moving? How do I get a ball park figure on the cost and time taken?
Do I start by finding a builder or an architect?
Any advice? Even if it's don't!
