I viewed a house recently which was really lovely, apart from the lounge. It is 12’7” x 13’0, so not very big, but also doesn’t have a fireplace. The downstairs is open plan, so the lounge opens into a huge kitchen with lots of space for seating. We are up sizing ( is that a phrase? ) from a small terrace, and our current lounge is a little smaller than this one but does have a nice fireplace and alcoves etc.
The rest of the house is great ( well, apart from the paved garden but that can be made into a lawn! ) and is in an area we like, but the lounge is disappointing. I think there is room to extend forwards, perhaps a bay window? But I’m not great at visualising these things, and with the house at the higher end of our budget I’m not sure if it would be too costly? Just thinking with a bit more space we could add a small fireplace or wood burner. But there’s no chimney so that might be impossible?
Has anyone managed to improve a rubbish lounge that can give me some pointers please? I’m not sure if I am allowed to add photos of the property?
