Utility room / WC

Hi all,

I'm struggling at deciding where to put our utility room and have 2 options....

Option 1 - The previous owner extended out the kitchen to install a wet room. I can convert this to a utility but it's at the back of the house and potentially blocking natural light. Plus it's too big for a utility - 10' x 10'

Advantages - Large area, plumbing already there, from front door you you will able to see right through into the kitchen and garden.

Disadvantages - Blocks lots of natural light

Option 2 - build a utility / WC off the hallway and knock the current wet room into the kitchen and install big French doors

Advantages - Keeps rear of the property free for dining area over looking the garden. Washing can be brought straight from upstairs without going into kitchen.

Disadvantages - Area won't be as large, standing at front door you will not see flow of house as utility room will be there.

PS - If I knew how to upload plans I would attach them

there should be a 'choose file' button underneath the writing box. Or if you are on your phone, a paperclip symbol.

Hard to tell without plans. :-)
