Thoughts on this house lay out (floor plan included)

[Katie47]

Hi all, we’ve narrowed down our house search to two houses.

The attached floor plan is for the house which is our favoured one.

A few things on my mind:

-Bedroom 2 is narrow..ok for a child is my thinking

-The ‘office’ space isn’t particular private, there are no doors. Eventually we’d probably prefer to knock through and have a big open plan kitchen

-Bedroom 4 is a garage conversion. It means there’s no route to the garden without going through the house (the other side of the house has the neighbours garage attached to it). I would want to potentially create a walkway with a door to garden through this room but I don’t know if plausible.

Any thoughts on the above, or anything else I may have missed/not considered would be appreciated! We would have possibly c. £15-20k available post purchase.

Thanks!

Edited to add I didn’t mean to include a poll!

So does it then become the main entrance/exit from the house? It's miles away from the stairs, which I think will make getting kids ready and out of the house really inconvenient.

We have an attached garage conversion which we did in 2018 and i wanted to mention it is NOT well insulated compared to rest of house. We use it as an office/spare bedroom and it’s very cold in winter. Do check what kind of insulation was installed!

I really don’t like this house very mucnh

I don't think bedroom 4 is really a bedroom, it's more of a lounge /study or perhaps spare bedroom. Is it properly insulated? Garage conversions can be cold!
If you WFH whilst others are in the houses then the office isn't going to be practical as it's a walkway to the kitchen but otherwise fine if no one else is at home whilst your working.
The narrow upstairs bedroom is OK for a child you could fit a bed lengthways under the window.
I had a similar childhood bedroom, not the best room dimensions as did feel a bit like a corridor but is doable.
If they get older they could move to bedroom 4 but I don't really like the idea of bedroom 4 for a child as it's going to be noisy as its downstairs just off kitchen and it's got a back door.

I’m not surprised. It’s awful. A garage conversion would usually include an en suite….
If there is absolutely no path down the side of the conversion, or other side, that would also put me off and the room sizes/ layout are weird. It’s only a one proper bedroom, in my view. The master bedroom, which is still too narrow for me. The other two bedrooms, ones a box room. The other ok for a single or small double, I suppose, but I wouldn’t take that house as a gift.
